THE BES “If you buy our registered Grimm Alfalfa Seed you are guaranteed pure seed, grown exclusively in North Dakota the severest climate for insuring vigorous cold resistant seed. This seed originated in Carver County, Minnesota; by & pioneer German farmer named. Wendlin:Grimm, and Prof. Hays of Minnesota Agriculfural college in 1900 called atten- tion to this hardy variety which had successfully withstood the Minnesota winters, where all other varieties up to that ~ time had winter. killed. : In 1904 Grimm alfalfa was first introduced in North Dakota and has successfully withstood our climate ever since, in tests at experiment stations and private farms. Several of the largest growers of North Dakota Grimm alfalfa have formed an association very similar to the Live Stock’ Association which registers pure bred live stock. This association registers Grimm alfalfa fields' which must trace their pedigree without question to the. original Grimm- fi Minnesota. elds in_Carver County, Our association will only sell seed -from' their- fields: after it' has: ' been tested by the North Dakota Pure Seed Lal It is cleaned with the most modern cleaning machine and is scarified so all seeds will grow. boratory for purity and germination. Five pounds of our Grimm Seed will give a better stand per acre than double this amount: for ordinary seed and all’ danger of winter ‘killing ‘is eliminated. —1If desired write ‘for sample before' purchasing.’ g 3 Price for the seed in small lots is 60 cents per 1b.; bushel lots or more, 650 cents per 1b.

SIXTEEN Markets LIVESTOCK SUMMARY In the cattle market at South St. Paul last week the week's deal on the _whole was not encouraging to shippers, for prices did not go up in correspond- ence with the slackening supply due to storms and decreased shipments. The packers took most of the stock offer- ed, as the stocker and feeder business is dragging. Hog prices, however, looked sensa- tional at times during the week, on February ‘1 reaching a top of $11.70. This price for live hogs would have been considered 'unbelievable even a few months ago, but within the past two-weeks, it has lost its startling ef- fect. Prices fluctuated almost as free- ly as they do in the wheat pit on fu- tures, and there-was a spread of two cents on medium to heavy weight stuff. Whether. the light arrivals due to the bad weather affected the local market, or the upgoing prices were part of the general meat scarcity, is hard to say, but - appearances indicate that the cause was not local. Sheep prices advanced during the week, and $14 per 100 was paid for choice fat lambs. Good butchering ewes brought $9.50, a good price com- pared to recent weeks' offerings. The supply continued very scant. WHEAT SUMMARY News that, diplomatic relatioris be- tween the United States and Germany had been separated sent wheat prices tumbling for a few minutes in Chicago and Minneapolis Saturday, but in both these cities and Duluth it rallied, and closed at three to six cents above the . opening, and above the low mark of the day. And yet it is now certain that Europe will have a more difficult time to get wheat from America than ever before. The prices were evidently sus- tained wholly on conditions within this country, and even the rumors of fair .- to good crops in Australia and good prospects in India went unregarded. It appears that wheat quotations in this country; for some time at least, will stand on their own feet. On the whole futures closed- weaker than at the week’s beginning, Minnea- polis May reaching a high point of $1.80 5-8 on Monday, and closing Satur- day at only $1.721-4. The latter figure, however, is four cents better than for either of the two preceding days, - although the low point~sagged lower than anything in that column this week. Similar conditions applied to the July option. Cash wheat also rallied on Saturday above Thursday and.Friday's quota- tions, but did not attain the high figures of Tuesday.

Spring Plowing Must Be Packed Immediately Because if left rough and porus the sun and the wind will dry and bake the sofl into lumps which will require valuable time and labor to work it down and make a proper seed bed. The WILBERG PLOW ATTACHMENT WILL MAEKE AN IDEAL SEED BED WHILE YOU PLOW ' because it packs and pulverizes the furrow slice the moment it is turned over while it is moist and pliable; thereby enables you to “seed earlier which means MORE BUSHELS and BETTER GRADES. It.relieves the horses from working on rough clod covered groynd,'and the drill, binder and plows will run easier and better because the surface is firm and compact. It is just as important to work the furrow slice the moment it is over as it is to strike the iron when it is hot. THINK IT OVER. = Price only $14.00 cash with oxder.
