SOY BEANS 



SOY BEANS 



GUARANTEED NORTHERN GROWN 



Tbese Beans should be raised on everj- farm, either as a grain crop, or fodder crop to feed 

 green, or for the silo. The grain is the richest known vegetable substance. Planted in 

 rows two and one-half feet apart, with six or eight plants to the foot of row. requiring about 

 half a bushe! of seed per acre. They yield fifteen to twenty tons per acre of fodder extremely 

 rich as a flesh-former. They are SOU enrichers, gathering nitrogen from the air in the same 

 manner as does Clover, the roots being vrowded with tubercles, which give them their power. 

 For the North it is absolutely necessary that the Early Soy Beans be usefi. -•iuother year 

 has served to emphasize the claims I have made for this wonderful Bean — it stands alone as 

 the most valuable agricultural acquisition of the twentieth centurj-. Thousands are already 

 growing Soy Beans, and in five years they will be as universally gromi as is Com. 'Iney can 

 be sown broadcast or drilled, one and one-half bushels per acre, but experience teaches us 

 th;.t the most satisfactory results are obtained by planting in rows.

RUSSIAN EMMER OR SPELTZ 



(TEITICXJM SPELTA) 



This is the new cereal erroneously called "Speltz," of which so much has been said in recent years. It 

 is not related to barlej; any more than bearded Wheat is, though some misinformed uriters have so stated. 

 BotanicaJly the plant is closely related to AVher-t (TBrncDsi vulgare), to which the .^rain, freed from its 

 hull, bears a striking resemblance. The berry is of he color, texture and hardness of "No. i hard" Spring 

 Wheat, but about twice as long an', -..-ith pointed ends. It makes a fiour slightly darker than Wheat, but 

 bread made from it appears to be fuUy as palatable aud nourishing as Wheat bread. As yet the principal 

 use of Emmer is for stock feeding, the general method being to chop with Com or Oats. The hulls being 

 rather harder than Oats, it is best to grind or chop this grain before feeding. For best results it should 

 sown as early in Spring as possible. It seems to tucceed equally well on all soils except ;-ich bottom lands 

 or those with a tendency to wetness. On ordinary upland clay or gi^vi! and on poor, hgnt sands it outyields 

 all other cereals. It withstands drought better th-n any other grain. Stock wil! eat Emmer straw up clean 

 before they will touch any other. Some seedsmen ad\-ise sowing three bushels per acre. Don't do it — seven 

 to eight pecks is the hmi;.. I stools freely. There is no standard weight for this grain. The grain in hull 

 generally weighs about forty pounds per bushel, and I sell it at that weight.
