OATS 
Improved 
Swedish Select 
Considered by many 
to be the most valu- 
able oats raised in the 
Nortliwest today. It 
is Itnown under other 
names, such as King 
Oscar, Wisconsin No. 
4, etc. This was orig- 
inally quite a late oat 
made early by grow- 
ing it in the high alti- 
tude in which it was 
developed. It possess- 
es striking features, 
the grain is short, 
plump, white, and very 
heavy, under favora- 
ble conditions aver- 
aging about 40 pounds 
to the measured bush- 
el. Owing to its 
great root development 
it stands very high 
for its drought resist- 
ing qualities. At the 
Wisconsin Experiment 
Station it has stood at 
the head of the list for 
several years, having 
been distributed by 
that station as Wis- 
consin No. 4. Prof. 
Moore of Wisconsin 
says of the Swedish 
Oat, "The most satis- 
factory of all." Prof. 
Carleton of U. S. -De- 
partment of Agricul- 
ture says: "Probably 
the best American 
Oat." Prof. Shepard 
of the South Daliota 
Station says, "They 
are tlie best drought 
resisters of all our 
new plants." 
The Swedish Oat 
has been recommended 
by experiment station 
and others for all soils 
We are not inclined t» 
agree in this. Its habi; 
of growtli is so vigor- 
. ous that on heavy

lodge. Our seed is of

SILVER MINE OATS 
This oat has made for itself a reputation as an extra- 
ordinary heavy and reliable yielder. It is very hardy and 
Ijrolific and yields beautiful white kernels, which are 
especially desired for the manufacture of rolled oats. Oat- 
meal is becoming as staple in the United States as it is 
in Scotland and our mills are handicapped by their inabil- 
ity to obtain good oats. 
The heads are very large in proportion to its stiff, 
bright,' clean straw. The spangle top heads, although long, 
are borne low down on tlie stalk, whicli seems to prevent 
lodging, '/a bushel, 20 cents; !4 bushel, 35 cents; Yi bushel, 
55 cents; bushel, (32 lbs), 85 cents; 2 to 10 bushels, 80 
cents per bushel.

Crop 
Fancy Canada Field Peas 
For nortliern states there- is no crop of greater value 
than Field Peas, and none is more neglected, wiiich can 
only be attributed to a lack of knowledge as to their 
merits as a fodder, being very rich in the elements that 
improve the muscle, bone and nervous system. Sow as 
early as the ground can be worked, using two bushels 
of peas and two bushels of oats per acre. Cut when tlie 
oats are in the milk and cure for hay. Especially valu- 
able to the farmer who has not enough meadow land.
