growers of the South. It’s a fine, rather 
early, productive, beardless variety of 
wheat, a standard in this section. It has 
always been a rather early variety, but the 
strain we are now handling ripens from a 
week to ten days ahead of the old strain.

OATS. 
Oats should be planted for hay making during early October, though they may be 
sown as late as the early part of December, also in early Spring, with the expectation 
of making a fair return. 
When they are to be cut for hay, 
the grain is in milk, and that will be about the first week in May.

While the time of

adapted to Spring and Summer grazing,

WILD RICE.—The natural time for sow- 
ing is in the Spring, although seed ean be 
sown any time. The seed Should be first 
thoroughly soaked in water so that it will 
sink into the desired situation. It may be 
sown in shallow water, not over three 
feet deep, and from this depth in to the 
shore. A still day should be chosen for 
sowing so that it will not drift into too 
deep water. Wild Rice is unequalled as 
an attraction for wild fowl, and for this 
reason is in great demand for planting in 
game preserves and small lakes by gun 
clubs and owners of private estates in 
this country and Europe. Sow i14 or 20 
pounds to the acre. 1 I1b., 75c., postpaid;
