SORGHUM OR SUGAR CANE 
(15 Lbs. Pit .\fi'c Drills; 50 Lbs. Broadcast.) 
Sopohiim— (Southern Seed)— This Sorghum, while not 
suited for syrup making purposes in this section, is of 
great value as a forage crop, whether to be cut and (iried 
or for use in silos. It is very rich in feeding qualities 
and will yield heavily on irrigated or sub-irrigated lands. 
Kaffir Corn, VViiite 
Seeded — An excellent 
fodder plant, yieldinj; 
two crops of fodder 
during the season. II 
grows 4 to 5 feet high, 
making a straight 
upright growth. The 
stem or stalk beais 
numerous wicli 
leaves. The sfjalks 
are brittle and juicy, 
not hardening liki 
other varieties of 
Sorghum. It makes 
excellent fodder, eith- 
er green or dry, 
which is highly rel- 
ished by 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 50 lbs. 
either broadcast or in 
drills.

FIELD PEAS 
Inoculate this 
Seed with 
FARMOGERM. 
(60 to 75 Lbs. Per Acre in Drills; 75 to 100 Lbs. Broadcast. 
Here is a crop which is not only profitable, but will re- 
turn to the land the much-needed nitrogen. Peas are 
second only to clover in their soil-eni iching properties and 
can be grown under any conditions of soil or climate. 
There is always a ready market for peas, or they can be 
profitably ground and fed to stock. The vines make rich, 
nutritious hay. If fed to milch cows, when in a green 
stale, pods, vines and all, the flow of milk will be almost 
doubled. Peas are a paying crop and can be profitably 
planted in many wiays. 
Canada — Canada Peas are one of the most useful and val- 
uable legumes that can be grown by the northwestern far- 
mer. Of a most hardy nature, they will thrive fairly well 
even on the poorest land, and aid most materially in bring- 
ing the land into a good condition for other crops, espe- 
cially when the seed is inoculated with Farmogerm, which 
should be used with all leguminous crops to get the best 
nitrogen additions to the soil. They grow from 3 to 4 
feet high and the crop ban be used in any manner, las 
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 pur- 
pose when properly cleaned always bring a high price.

FIELD PEAS— (Continued.) 
White Marrowfat — These large handsome Peas are equally 
as profitable to grow as a field crop and on account of 
their size are salable at all times at the top of the mar- 
ket, as well as providing the table with an extra good 
pea during summer. Very heavy yieldcr, producing from 
40 to 60 bushels per acre; these peas being softer than 
the Canada Pea, are preferred by hogs or stock. Many 
growers are incneasing their acreage of these peas, con- 
sidering this variety the best and most profitable. 
.\laska — An early maturing Pea which 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 the canners. 
Mixed — We have a good stock of these Peas which are a 
mixed lot (Canada, Miarrowfat and Grey), suitable for 
hogging off or pea hay for soiling. Will mail samples 
on request.

VETCHES 
(40 to 50 Lbs. to the Acre.) 
Spring Vetch — Used for the 
same purpose as the Sand 
or Winter Vetch. This va- 
riety requires a good soil, 
is frequently sown with 
oats or barley, with which 
it makes excellent feed. 
Sand or Winter Vetch (Vieia 
Villosa) — Sometimes oalled 
Hairy Vetch. This is a very 
valuable forage plant ana 
is rapidly becoming popu- 
lar each year as the farm- 
ers are learning more of its 
great value for forage and 
fertilizing purposes. It 
succeeds well on nearly all 
soils and thrives surpris- 
ingly on poor light land, 
and well stands extremie of 
drouth, heat and cold. It 
improves the soil, being a 
great nitrogen gatherer. It 
belongs to the pea family, 
but the vines are much 
longer and the foliage is 
more abundant. May l).e 
sown with about half bush- 
el of rye or oats for sup- 
port. It grows rapidly and 
is particularly valuable in 
sections where clover does not thrive. 
WINTER VETCH 
FLAX 
(16 to 20 Lbs. to the Acre.) 
Rn.s.sian — The standard sort used in the northwest. It re- 
quires special machinery to make seed of any grain and 
this is especially true of Flax. Cleaning Flax so as to 
make it "right," for seed is a somewhat expensive oper- 
ation and involves a very considerable waste. But write 
for sample, use the magnifying glass, and cofnpare it 
with flax from the farm or ehivator and .judge for your- 
self if our seed is worth to you all it costs. Spray your 
flax with fnrmaldiehyde before seeding. 
South Dakota #114 — This Flax comes to us highly recom- 
mended both as a seed and fibre producer. In the sec- 
tion where it originated it has proven under normal con- 
ditions wilt-resistant and of excellent value.
