104 FIELD SEEDS— (Continued.) 
State Nursery and Seed Co, 
60 to 75 bushels to the acre. It branches very freely from the 
roots, making from three to eighteen heads from a single stool. 
It Is from two to three weeks earlier than Kaffir Corn, and 
should successfully mature in the north. Culture same as for 
Kaffir. The chinch bugs will consume other crops, but seem 
to leave Feterita entirely alone. 
KAFFIR CORN 
Kaffir Corn, White SeeaeS — An excellent fodder plant, yielding 
two crops of fodder during the season. It grows 4 to 6 feet 
high, making a straight upright growth. The stem or stalk 
bears numerous wide leaves. The stalks are brittle and juicv 
not hardening like other varieties of Sorghum. It makes e.K- 
cellent fodder, either green or dry, which is highly relished bv 
cattle and all kinds of stock. The seed crop is also heavy, 
sometimes 50 to 60 bushels to the acre. For grain, sow in 
rows 3 feet apart, 3 to 5 pounds to the acre. For fodder sow 
40 to 30 lbs. either broadcast or in drills.

LENTILS 
Montana Grown — Lentils are again coming to the front in legum- 
inous crops, and rightfully so. Inoculated with Farmogerm, 
they enrich the land with nitrogen, they produce a heavy crop 
on poor soils, the crop can be profitably used for any feed 
purposes either green or curel, and the ripened crop when 
threshed is in great demand for cooking purposes. Few of the 
legume family make as desirable a stock for soups as do the 
Lent Is. Oriental countries liave long used this as a chief 
article of diet, and its value in this country for that purpose is

FIELD PEAS 
(60 to li) Lbs. per Acre in Drills; 75 to 100 Lli.s. Broadcast ) 
Here is a crop which is not only prof't^ible, but will return to 
the land the much-needel nitrosen. Peas are second only to 
clover m their soil-enriching properties and can be grown under 
any conditions of soil or climate. There is always a ready mar- 
ket for peas, or they can be profitably ground and fed to stock. 
The vines make rich, nutritious hay. If fel to milch cows, when 
in a green state, pods, vines and all, the flow of milk will be al- 
most doubled. Peas are a paying crop and can be profitably 
planted in many ways. 
Canada — Canada Peas are one of the most useful and valuable 
legumes that can be grown by the northwestern farmer Of a 
most hardy nature, they will thrive fairlv well even on the poor- 
est land, and aid most materially in bringing the land into a 
good condition for other crops, especially when the seed is inocu- 
lated with Farmogorm. which should be used with all leguminous 
crops to get the best nitrogen addition to the soil. They grow 
from 3 to 4 feet high and the crop can be used in any manner 
as ensilage, or cured for hay of the highest quality, or as a hog 
pasture, or plowed under for a green manure. The ripe dry peas 
are much used for soups, and for that purpose when properly 
cleaned always bring a high price. 
White Marrowfat— These large handsome Peas are equally as 
profitable to grow as a field crop and on account of their' size 
are saleable at all times at the top of the market, as well as 
providing the table with an extra good pea during summer. 
Very heavy yielder, producing from +0 to 60 bushels per acre- 
these peas being softer than the Canada Pea, are preferred by 
hogs or stock. Many growers are increasing their acreage of 
these peas, considering this variety the best and most profit- 
able. 
Alaska — An early maturing Pea wliich is becoming quite popular 
because it stands up well in the field, and can be cut from 
either side, and is a heavy yielder. This is one of the varieties 
sought after by tte canners, and the safest for Dry Land 
Farming. 
Mixed — We have a good stock of these Peas which are a mixed 
lot (Canada, Marrowfat and Grey), suitable for hogging off or 
pea hay for soiling. Will mail samples on request

WINTER VETCH 
(40 to 50 Lbs. to the Acre.) 
Spring- Vetch — Used for the same 
purpose as the Sand or Winter 
Vetch. This variety requires a 
good soil, is frequently sown 
with oats or barley, with which 
it makes excellent feed. 
Sand or Winter Vetch (Vicia Vi- 
losa) — Sometimes called Hair.v 
Vetch. This is a very valuable 
forage plant and is rapidly be- 
coming popular each year as the 
farmers are learning more of its 
great value for forage and fer- 
tilizing purposes. It succeeds 
well on nearly all soils and 
thrives surprisingly on poor 
light land, and weli stands ex- 
treme of drouth, heat and cold. 
It improves the soil, being a 
great nitrogen gatherer. It be- 
longs to the pea family, but the 
vines are much longer and the 
foliage is more abundant. May 
be sown with about half bushel 
of rye or oats for support. It 
grows rapidly and is particularly 
valuable in sections where plov- 
er does not thrive. 
FLAX 
BuBSian — The standard sort used In the northwest. It requires 
special machinery to make seed of any grain and this is es- 
pecially true of Flax. Cleaning Flax so as to mi^ke it "right" 
for seed is a somewhat expensive operation and involves a 
very considerable waste. But write for sample, use the mag- 
nifying glass, and compare it witn flax from the farm ur 
elevator and Judge for yourself if our seed is worth to you 
all it costs. Spray your flax with formaldehyde before seeding.
