Mauii Stocks Are He Lowest in Years know that our Associated Bee Hive Seed Growers will be to know that there is less alfalfa seed in J. G. Peppards seed glad compares Utah, warehouses than there lias been at this season in it least three years just past to get going this week but preparations are not quite all made yet so we cannot say what days. SEED FOR PLANTING We have on hand: THE 1929 SEASON LOOKS PROMISING Purple Tag Grimm High Purity Common White Sweet Clover containing some alfalfa. We are pricing these seeds very close to cost and selling them for cash only because we need the money. "We It looks now as if the old! crops will be out of the way before the new one is harvested and the way this 'year 1929 is starting out;, we should have a fine crop of seed1 this 'year. A REMINDER Seed growers and seed merchants too, must remember that they are just working for the fanners who, are going to. plant the seed We will prosper only as we produce the kind of seed' these other farmers .want In our opinion every Uintah Basin seed grower should! out for hay any alfalfa that is not going to make (high purity seted, free from dodder and other noxious weeds. The4 all Uintah Basin al falfa seed Would be good seed. OUR INSECT ENEMIES s It looks, now as if grasshoppers, chalcis fly, weevil and blister beetles may have spent a very pleasant winter and will more than likely be numerous this season. The ground was not wet when winter set in, it has been very cold end dry until lately, the ground was covered with snow during the coldest weather, an& there has been very little thawing and ficcring to hurt them. Beep and thorough cultivation will help some in controlling ell of these insects. We are going to lose a. double tandem tractor s CREDIT We believe our past record in the Uinjtah Basin shows that we tried to expend credit in a truly helpful and friendly way. Money, Sacks, Seed to plant, and so ion at low interest or no interest at all just a friendly accommodation! so we thought and supposed that at harvest1 time it would be returned but in many cases it was not. In fact there have been so many cases land there Is so much money involved that our company simply cannot afford to exterid any more credit, regardless of how good the man is pr how much he needs the accommodation. We borrow money ourselves and the bankers do not care to tee us put 'the money where we may not be able to get it. IF Why dont you at least come in and see if we cannot get together and arrange to settle it? Perhaps we can use something you have hut want to dispose of. We can offer some chances to work out bills on our farms We will try to meet you fairly and half way if you come in. IRRIGATION AND CULTIVATION disk, borrow cm most of our alfalfa. AN ALE ALFA DISEASE THAT REDUCES SEED CROPS f Although alfalfa is rather free from disease in the Basin, it is subject to eaf Spot, or Rust, technically known as Psendopeziza lledicagnis. Brown spots come on the leaves and, stems a43 as the diseam increases, the leaves die and1 drop of. Although we cannot tell how much damage this disease does, we are convinced from watching it that it is serious and there is more or less of it in I' every field. Burning teems to be about the only thing that keeps it from showing up. t?et weather or heavy irrigation in hot weather increases it rapidly, A STUBBLE BURNER We expect soon to conduct some experiments with the DOMINION STUBBLE BURNER. We hope that this machine will (1) destroy chalcis fly on the ground; (2) check the lesf spot or rust disease; ar,d (3) destroy Weed seeds cn the ground. Plans are YOU OWE US AN ACCOUNT Very likely a great many of us are going to have d chance to do some irrigating soon! Very likely too, there are fields that will be benefited by early irrigation. it is just as probable that if you think should go dig down or bore down in to need you irrigate, you may As make sum. was and field pointed lout in this page two your weeks ago, the xtitural mulch that comes from the winter freezing is a mighty good thing and melting it down with irrigation yater will destroy it. AT THE SAME TIME If you do not need' this early irrigation, a good, harrowing ox disking will improve this natural mulch and put your land in shape to held moisture during the winds we usually have at this time of year. We expect to cultivate most of our own alfalfa with a big tandem disk and tractor. If you are interested! in seeing how we of this week and for some do it, we will probably be at it the days after. t tu mi f ?4 J. G.
