SOY BEANS 



GUARANTEED NORTHERN GROWN 



These Beans shoviki be raised on every farm, either as a grain crop, or fodder crop to feed 

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

 two and one-half feet apart, with six or eiglit plants to the foot of row, requiring about lialf 

 a bu.shel of seed per acre. They yield fifteen to twenty tons per acre of fodder extremely rich 

 as a flesh former. They are soil enrichers, gatliering nitrogen from the air in the .same manner 

 as does Clover, the roots being crowded with tubercles, which give tliem their power. For 

 the North it is absolutely necessary that the Early Soy Bean5 be used Another 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 century. Thousands are already 

 growing Soy Beans, and in five years they will be as universally grown as is Corn. They can 

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

 that the most satisfactory results are obtained by planting in rows.

RUSSIAN EJiflER OR SPELTZ 



(TRITICUM SPELTA) 



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

 is not related to Barley any more than bearded Wheat is, though some misinformed writers have so stated. 

 Tlie berry is of the color, texture and hardness of "No. 1 hard" Spring Wheat, but about twice as long, and 

 with pointed ends. It makes a flour slightly darker than Wheat, but bread made from it appears to be 

 fully as palatable and nourishing as Wheat bread. As yet the principal use of Emmer is for stock feeding, 

 the general method being to chop with Corn or Oats. The hulls being rather harder than Oats, it is best to 

 grind or chop this grain before feeding. For the best results it should be sown as early in Spring as possible. 

 It seems to succeed equally well on all soils except rich bottom lands or those with "a tendency to wetness. 

 On ordinary upland clay or gravel, and on poor, light sands it outyields all other cereals. It withstands 

 drought better than any other grain. Stock will eat Emmer straw up clean before they will touch any 

 other. Sow 2 bu. per acre. It stools freely. There is no standard weight for this grain. The grain in 

 hull generally weiglis about forty pounds per bushel, and I seU it at that weight.
