FETERITA 
The season of 1915 was a very wet one and in this season 
Feterita did not show up very well and consequently lost in 
favor. The drought of 1916 however, demonstrated once more 
that Feterita is the most drought-resisting grain crop that we 
have. 
The two best features about Feterita are its wonderful ability 
to resist drought and its earliness. It has proved without any 
question its ability to stand dry weather, as it has made good 
yields during very dry seasons, and in some cases without any 
rain whatever. Some growers report that Feterita is fully 
thirty-five to fifty days earlier than Kaffir, and this also is a big 
advantage. 
Feterita branches out from the stem and one plant makes 
several heads. Chinch bugs do attack it, but seem to prefer 
other crops. Even when the stalks are eaten off they stool out 
again and still make a crop. 
The grain of Feterita is similar to that of Milo, but is pure 
white and larger and softer. Feterita is planted in rows like 
Kaffir or Milo, using from three to five pounds of seed per acre, 
and the crop is cultivated like Milo or Kaffir. Feterita should 
not be planted too early or too deep. 
Reports show that it is a very good crop for dry regions and 
is an excellent catch crop in other places. It makes good ensilage 
and can be hogged down with very satisfactory results. Plant 
some Feterita and you will get a crop of grain in spite of dry 
weather.

For quantity 
A Drought-Resisting Bean raised by the Indians in 
Arizona. Prof. Clothier of the University of Arizona 
says: "After three years of experimenting with the 
Tepary Bean I am prepared to say it is one of the most 
wonderful plants ever presented to the dry farming 
public." 
Tepary Beans will make a fair crop in 75 days and a 
good crop if they have 90 days. If it is struck by a 
drought it will ripen the pods already set and when the 
drought breaks it will set and ripen a new crop. 
They have been grown by Indians for thousands of 
years without irrigation with an annual rainfall of 9 
inches. 
Price 30c per pound. Not postpaid, 1 lb. 20c; 10 
lbs. $1.75. 
DANISH STONE HEAD 
DANISH STONE HEAD OR ROUND HEAD 
Produces fine round heads that are very solid and of an unusually dark purple color. This rich coloring 
extends to the center of the head and a cross-section shows but very little white. 
The plants are of strong growth and the heads about eight inches in diameter and very uniform. This 
is the best keeper of any of the Red Cabbages Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.00; M lb. $3.00.
