 Disease Preventers. The Hogs Do the IHar»-esting. They 

 can be planted either in fall or spring, for while in the ground, 

 freezing and thawing does not hurt them. Cut to one eve like 

 potatoes, and plant in rows 3% feet apart and 18 inches in 

 the row. ' When dug in the fall and stored, they should be 

 mixed with one part of soil to ten parts of Artichokes, to 

 prevent shrinking. Per peck 70c; per bushel $2.40; 3 bushels 

 (sufficient for one acre), $6.25. 



BUCKWHEAT. 



Silver Hull — This variety sown at the same time as the com- 

 mon Buckwheat, matures a few days sooner, and vields 

 nearly double. The flour is whiter and more nutri'tious. 

 It is a favorite milling variety and frequently outyields 

 the heavy yielding Japanese. ; 



Japanese — An early and very proliflc variety, with kernels 

 about double the size of ordinary sorts. It ripens a week 

 earlier than the Silver Hull, remains in bloom a long time 

 and yields at least twice as much as common Buckwheat. 



^ /■' FLAX. 



Whejf'^g-ijown for seed, sow from 2 to 3 pecks to the acre. 



If fine flbfe-is wanted sow from li/> to 2 bushels to the acre, 



so as to grow clean, straight, slender straw. 



Primost (Minn. No. 25) — An improved variety, considerably 

 earlier than Common Flax; yields about 25% larger crop 

 and is more wilt-resistant. 



SUNFLOWER. 

 Large Russian — Single heads measure 15 inches across and 

 contain an immense amount of seeds which are highly 

 prized by poultry raisers. 



BARLEY 



NEW WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY. 



This new Barley, disseminated first a few years ago, has 

 demonstra.ted its marked superiority over all the commonly 

 sown varieties._ Like Oderbrucker, if- is derived from the 

 Manshury. received originally in 1899, from the Ontario Sta- 

 tion at Guelph, and went through a breeding process requir- 



ing ten years of careful selection. It has the special merit 

 of stiff straw so that it does not lodge easily, produces a very 

 high yield, malts perfectly and has the advantage of being 

 absolutely pure. The fact that practically all the members 

 of the "Wisconsin Experiment Station Association now grow 

 Pedigree Barley is a strong indication of the high value placed 

 upon this variety by, Sie progressive farmers of the state. 

 ODEBBRUCkMr BARLEY — WISCONSIN No. 55. 



The Wisconsin Standard Barley Introduced by the AViscon- 

 sin Agricultural Experiment Station in 1906, at the Time the 

 Heaviest Yielding and Plumpest 6-Rowed Barley Ever Intro- 

 duced into the United States. Oderbrucker, originally secured 

 from the Ontario Experiment Station, was one of the first of 

 the new strains developed at the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- 

 tion, and so pronounced are its superior qualities, that it is 

 now one of the standard Barleys in this and neighboring 

 states. It yields from 5 to 10 bushels more per acre than any 

 of the old varieties, is unusually good for malting purposes, 

 and on account of its high protein content, nearly double that 

 of other varieties, it is an exceedingly fine feeding Barley. 

 It is rust resistant, has a plump, very heavy kernel, and the 

 stiffness of its straw is unusual. 



WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. 



It has No Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous 

 Yields. Nothing to Equal it as a Hog Food. This remarkable 

 Barlev is more like a very plump, hard wheat, remarkably 

 solid weighing over 60 lbs. to the bushel. It is extremely 

 early and on this account is invaluable in the northern tier 

 of states where corn does not ripen well. It is an enormous 

 cropper yielding from 50 to 60 bushels per acre of gram, pos- 

 sessing 'feeding qualities superior to other Barley. The straw 

 stools well and is heavily leaved and makes an excellent hay. 

 Sow 2 bushels per acre. 48 lbs. per bushel. „.„,^„ 

 CHAMPION OR SUCCESS BEARDLESS BARLEY. 



A remarkable heavy cropping Barley. Equal m feeding 

 quality to any of the bearded sorts. It is earlier than the 

 bearded sorts, better for feeding and easier to handle. 



OATS 



SUPERIOR RE-CLEANED STOCK. 

 WISCONSIN PEDIGREED OATS. 



A new variety developed at the Wisconsin Experiment bta- 

 tion from a variety called Wisconsin Wonder and offered 

 generally in 1913 for the first time. It is a pure white variety, 

 rather earlier than Swedish Select, and better adapted to rich 

 soils its especially stiff straw making it much less liable to 

 lodge. It is a tremendous cropper, outyielding any sorts now 

 grown here, and the grain is of good size, thm-hulled, heavy 

 and fine appearing, in shape a little longer and more Pointed 

 than Swedish Select. Sow at the rate of 21/2 to SV2 bushels 



SWEDISH SELECT OATS. (Wis. No. 4.) 



Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture a few 

 years ago and further developed under the direction of Prof 

 Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station. Its good points 

 are earliness, yield, fine appearance of gram, stiffness of 

 ttraw and freedom from rust and smut It appears to be best 

 adapted to high land, the best returns being obtained on clay 

 foam Yields as high as 85 bushels per acre have been secured 

 in this state. t,INCOLN OATS. 



An early, unusually heavy yielding, clear white Oats, com- 

 paring well with the best sorts grown in the northwest and 

 fatelv become very popular. Its thin hull and solid meat 

 makes it particulariy valuable for feeding and for the manu- 

 facture of oatmeal It does not lodge easily, as the straw is 

 S?ong and stiff; it is. rust resistant and stools out remarkably, 

 whence the heavy yields. 



WHEAT 



MARQUIS WHEAT. 



The Wheat destined to "revolutionize wheat growing m 

 the Northwest." Originated at the Central Experiment Sta- 

 H-nn Ottawa Canada bv crossing Red Fife and Red Calcutta 

 a ver? eaTfy Wheat fr^om India^, the result being a Wheat 

 combining the extreme earliness of the one with the frost 

 re^?ting and heavy vielding qualities of the other. It is a 

 week to 10 days earlier than Red Fife or any other sort, and 

 viefdq 5 to 10 bushels more per acre, the grain being flinty, 

 ^Aort tide plump and deep amber in color. The heads are 

 very heavy, and the stalk stout and shorter than Red Fife. 

 Beardless, except for a few short awns at the top. 



WISCONSIN WONDER. 



A new Spring Wheat produced in Wisconsin and said to be 

 the earliest wheat known i°^A.merica. It is a short stm
