WINTER WHEAT and RYE 
DIBBLE’S SOY BEANS 
Soy-Bean culture is steadily increasing in America. From 
scores of varieties introduced from China, Korea, and Japan, 
only a few, on account of their earliness, are adapted to the 
climatic conditions of the Middle and New England States. 
From the few adaptable varieties, we unhesitatingly recom¬ 
mend MANCHU, an extra-early variety, maturing in from 
100 to 110 days, with large, upright, bushy vines, extremely 
productive. Soy Beans are rich in protein, and are very 
valuable to the dairy farmer or stockman for a supplementary 
hay-crop, pasture, to plow under for green manure, or to mix 
equal parts with corn when sowing for ensilage to improve 
the feeding quality of the silage. Soy Beans make an emer¬ 
gency hay-crop, having a feeding-value similar to alfalfa. 
Dibble’s Barley 
On request we will send you, about August 1, a price-list 
quoting seasonable seeds for August and September sowing. 
We will have available Honor and Forward Wheat, the best 
two varieties of Winter Wheat for eastern conditions. 
NOD-O-GEN 
Soil and crop experts agree that for best growth, and to put atmos¬ 
pheric nitrogen in the soil, it will pay all farmers to inoculate all legumes, 
even where they are at present successfully grown. The cost is trivial 
when compared with the profit it will bring you. Legumes are clovers, 
peas and beans, alfalfa, soy beans, vetches, and other plants that grow 
their seeds in a pod. Their roots are the home of bacteria that draw 
fertility-building nitrogen from the air and store it in swellings on the 
roots, called nodules. These nodules 
not only feed nitrogen to the crop 
they are on, but rot away in the 
ground and supply valuable nitrogen 
to the soil for future bumper crops 
of corn, wheat, oats, beans, potatoes, 
etc. 
Economical, Easy to Use 
The 50-cent size will inoculate 60 
pounds or less of seed, and the 30- 
cent size will inoculate 30 pounds or 
less of seed. It is a very simple and 
easy matter to mix the Nod-O-Gen 
with the seed, and will take but a 
few minutes of your time. Complete 
directions are printed on each bottle. 
This is infinitely easier, safer and 
better than the old laborious soil- 
transfer method. 
When ordering be sure to specify 
the kind of seed you wish to in¬ 
oculate. 
We recommend that you use Nod- 
O-Gen. All prices postpaid. See 
special price-list. 
* DIBBLE’S ALPHA BARLEY ♦ 
Alpha Barley originated from a cross of the Manchuria, a 
six-row Barley, and the Champion of Vermont, a two-row sort. 
It is a medium tall, stiff-strawed, two-row variety maturing 
somewhat later than standard six-row types. These character¬ 
istics make it especially desirable for sowing with oats for 
growing a mixed grain crop. This Barley has been a consistently 
high-yielding variety at the Cornell Experimen t Station for the 
past seventeen years. It is now the leading variety in New 
York State. The kernels are large, plump, and heavy, and the 
yield of the grain excellent. Alpha Barley has yielded 70 
bushels per acre on our own farms. 
Barley for Malting Purposes 
Great care must be used in the handling, binning, and threshing of all 
Barley for malting purposes, and for this reason malting Barley commands 
a premium over the basic price of feed-type Barley. 
Alpha Barley is not desirable for malting purposes. 
The maltsters want a 6-rowed Barley, and for those farmers who wish 
to attempt the growing of malting Barley we recommend Dibble’s Oder- 
brucker Barley. 
ODERBRUCKER 
A new, six-rowed Barley from Wisconsin, our best Barley state. 
Disseminated by the Wisconsin Experiment Station, and pronounced 
the best Barley ever sent out by the Wisconsin Station. Samples free.
