GOLDEN GLOW CORN 
T HIS variety originated in Wisconsin and- is classed 
as an early corn for the southern part of that state. 
Grain is a golden yellow, ears 8 to 9% inches long, 
stalks long and leafy making excellent forage. This 
variety ripens ten days to two weeks after Early Michigan 
under favorable weather conditions. 
Reduce Your Feed Bills 
In feeding ensilage if the corn is well matured when cut into the 
silo the cattle require a much smaller grain ration. One of our Wisconsin 
friends writes as follows: "One of the greatest problems before 
the dairymen today is how to eliminate the fearful feed bills. When 
Golden Glow goes into the silo there is a stream of shelled corn which 
usually converts the most skeptical farmer. Many of our best dairymen 
declare they can eliminate the grain ration entirely by feeding Golden 
Glow ensilage with Alfalfa or Clover Hay.” 
Has produced 20 tons per acre 
The Golden Glow will produce an enormous crop of the very best 
ensilage and we strongly recommend this variety for localities of the 
same latitude and climate CQnditions as Wisconsin. 
HAIRY OR SAND VETCH 
T HIS is also called Winter Vetch. Gives a. large yield of 
forage the earliest of any crop. This very hardy 
forage plant produces well on soils so poor and sandy that they 
will grow but little clover. Its nitrogen converting properties make it 
particularly valuable as a soil renewer and enricher. 
Grows 40 to 50 inches high 
On land in good condition Hairy Vetch will produce an enormous 
crop of green forage and even on thin soils will give a large crop. 
SUGGESTIONS : — We recommend the Hairy Vetch for any localities 
where a cover crop is required. Seeding may be done any time during 
July, August, or September. Hairy Vetch may be sown at the last culti- 
vation of a corn crop, using 20 to 30 pounds per acre. This sowing will 
produce an enormous amount of green forage for early spring cutting. 
Sheep, hogs or cattle are very fond of this Vetch and if pastured before 
the plants become woody the vetch will continue to grow throughout 
the summer especially if the season is cool and moist. If cut before the 
seed begins to form the roots will send out new shoots and produce even 
a larger crop than the first cutting. A good stand plowed in will add 
to the soil as much Nitrogen taken from the air as would be supplied in 
one ton per acre of any fertilizer containing 6% nitrogen. Hairy Vetch 
will produce a large crop in time to plow under for either corn or potatoes.
