Heavyweight Sure Crop 
ATTENTION, FARMERS! Here is just the type of corn you’ve 
been wanting for years. A type which combines all the good quali¬ 
ties of both our Yellow Dent and Sure Crop varieties, and eliminates 
the poor qualities of each. This corn, developed in the eastern 
section of our rich Garden Spot County, has increased rapidly in 
demand among local farmers, and now after several very successful 
years of growth we are assured it is just the type a great many 
farmers are seeking. 
It matures about as early as our famous Lancaster County Sure 
Crop and grows just about as tall. It ears very close to the ground, 
a factor which holds it erect throughout the season, and frequently 
one stalk will produce two large ears. It produces a very close 
grained, compact, full ear, ofttimes reaching 12 inches in length and 
from 2 to 2inches in diameter with but a very thin cob. The 
grains are deep and broad and have a light cap, giving the ear a 
light yellow color. 
With these qualities combined there is not another variety grown 
that will give you as much good, solid corn as this newest of all 
varieties. Be sure to try several acres this year and you will never 
want anything else. See price list. 
Millets 
GOLDEN MILLET, also known as German Millet, is the best for 
hay or fodder. When cut in full bloom the quality is exceptionally 
good and all kinds of stock relish it. On good soil a yield as high as five 
tons per acre may be expected. Sow 35 pounds per acre. See price list. 
Sand or Hardy Vetch 
__JAlso known as Winter Vetch. It is a rapid grower 
and thrives on little moisture. It is a winter annual 
and can be sown Spring or Fall. Stays green all winter 
furnishing an abundance of pasture until early Springto 
late in Fall. It is a tremendous yielder, producing 15 to 
20 tons green forage per acre. As a fertilizer it has few 
equals, as it grows on poor soils exceedingly well, and a 
crop of vetch plowed under is claimed to be equal to 320 
to 340 worth of Commercial Fertilizer. Sow about 40 
pounds Vetch and about one-half bushel of Oats or 
Barley. The grain sown with Vetch will act as a sup¬ 
port for the vines. Vetch should be inoculated with 
Stimugerm for best results. See price list. 
Buckwheat 
Buckwheat can be planted from June 1st to middle 
of July and is used much by farmers having vacant 
land upon which they were unable to get planted an 
earlier crop, or upon land where another crop has 
failed. Buckwheat does well on poor soil and makes 
one of the best fertilizer crops to turn under. A small 
patch planted near the poultry yard can be harvested 
by the chickens. Sow one bushel per acre. 
JAPANESE. This is the standard and most popular 
variety of Buckwheat, and ripens a week earlier 
than the Silver Hull. It is the most productive and 
prolific variety in cultivation. It resists drought and 
blight well. See price list. 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan Grass is a tall grass, which grows from 
four to seven feet high. The stems are small and 
leafy. It is like the Sorghum or Millets, and must 
be started each Spring. It is easily cured for hay 
and stock will eat it readily. May be cut from two 
to four times in one year. The crop should be cut for 
hay as soon as the grass is full headed, and early 
cutting is advised when the crop is to be used for hay. 
See price list. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
This plant is a valuable forage crop. One acre of it will 
pasture more hogs, sheep and cattle than four acres of 
Clovers or other grasses. As a healthy fattening pasture 
food it has no equal. It is an annual, producing large 
leaves, and can be sown any time from early Spring until 
September, and is ready for pasture 6 to 8 weeks after 
sowing. It stands out without a rival for cheapness and 
effectiveness. Sow four to five pounds per acre, broad¬ 
cast. See price list. 
JAPANESE MILLET {Billion Dollar Grass). The 
best soil on which to grow this Millet is that which is in 
fair condition of fertility and inclined to be wet rather 
than dry. Japanese Millet is adapted to all seasons. It 
will grow six to eight feet high. It is excellent for silage. 
It is fully equal to the best corn fodder as a food for 
milch cows. The seed may be sown broadcast at the rate 
of 20 to 25 pounds per acre. This variety stools remark¬ 
ably and should not be sown too thick. See price list.

Ida Rankles of Mt. Airy, Md. writes us that she finds the New Century Beet very tender and fine for 
canning. Better order some for yourself. You’ll like them, too.
