Show Seed Prospects k Brightest ! In Many Years Old timers are unanimous that this year's first crop alfalfa seed is the best they have ever seen. The seed set on with large burrs and plenty of them, and the plants are heavily loaded. There was not too much first crop left for seed this year, but those who did leave the first crop will all have bumper crops. The second crop is later than usual on account of the late season seas-on this spring, but if the frost 1 holds off a little longer than nor- ' mal, the prospects are that this will also be a bumper crop. At present much of the second crop is just going into the bloom, and this must set into the burrs between be-tween the fifth and tenth of August Aug-ust to give the farmers a reasonable reason-able chance of getting a good crop before the frost comes. There are no indications as to ' the price this year of seed, and they won't be announced until later in the season. |
