Barley Is the Best Nurse Crop for Alfalfa, Clovers, etc 
Seed Grains 
There is no seed concern in the U. S. who is able to furnish you better seed grains at 
lower price than we. This may sound egotistical but if you would come to San Jose, Ill., 
where these are grown we would soon convince you of the fact. Here we have some of 
the best soil in the world for growing and maturing grains for seed. We have a rich 
black land with just a little sand in it which supplies qualities that add greatly to the 
seed. Wheat grown on this land often commands a premium on account of the high 
protein content as well as other food elements. Pillsbury Flour Mills Co. constructed a new 
mill at Springfield three years ago where all their package goods are made, such as 
pancake, cake flours, etc. We sell 85% of our wheat to these mills and they usually 
pay us a premium of lc to 2c bu. for wheat off this soil. We do not issue a fall catalog 
but if you want some good winter wheat we always have it, and would be glad to quote 
you with samples and prices. 
SPRING WHEAT 
We are not quoting any price on Spring Wheat as we did not grow any in 1933 and do 
not intend to sow any in 1934. Too many chinch bugs in Central Illinois. 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREED 38 BARLEY 
For sections in the northern part of the State where there are not so many chinch bugs, 
we recommend No. 38 as the Barley to sow. A high yielder, has a stiff straw and will 
stand up when other varieties go down badly and less susceptible to stripe than any other. 
In 1931 the University of Illinois produced 10 bushels more per acre than any other variety. 
Our seed is from Certified Wisconsin grown seed. 
Price, small lots, $1.00 bu. 40 bu. or more, 95c bu. 
A field of good Iowar Oats 
SEED OATS 
Many sections do not have oats fit for seed. Some were so light they will have no 
vitality, and not much chance of getting a crop from these light oats. We have about 
12,000 bushels of 1932 crop oats, weighing 32 to 40 lbs. to bushel, which we selected and 
saved for seed. These will be much better to sow than the light weight 1933 crop. 
STATE’S PRIDE, WISCONSIN NO. 7 CERTIFIED 
After much searching around and inquiring of different state agricultural colleges, we 
decided to try some State’s Pride and sent to the University of Wisconsin for some certified 
seed. While the oats crop in this section was not heavy, these oats made more than twice 
as much as another variety we had just across the field. 
They are a very heavy weighing oat when season is good, the oats we raise weighs 
33 lbs. to a bushel, while some of the other oats on the same farm weighed but 26 lbs. 
A white oat, stands up well. Certified by the Illinois Crop Improvement Association. 
Price 75c bu.; bugs 10c, holds 4 bu. 
GOPHER, the highest yielding of all varieties. Medium early maturing. Medium straw 
which is very stiff. Stands up when other oats go flat. One of the best varieties to grow. 
Price, 55c bu. 
IOWAR, a good variety of white oats. Stands up well. Produces a fair amount of straw. 
Usually ripens in this section about the 7th of July. Price, 50c bu. 
KANOTA, a new early and heavy yielding oat. Its rapid, early growth In the spring, 
early maturity, ability to resist or survive late spring frosts, comparative freedom from 
smut, and the high average yields secured are such as to support the belief that this 
variety will prove a valuable addition to the oat-growing sections. Price, 55c bu. 
The two characteristics which make Kanota especially valuable are its earliness and 
its ability to yield large crops. 
Bagged four bushels to a bag for which we charge 10 cents each.
