FORAGE SEEDS, GRAIN, ETC. 
AT THE LOWEST MARKET RATES AND OF THE BEST QUALITY 
Barley (both two-row and six-roiv). The 
two-rowed variety has a head a little 
longer than the six-rowed varieties and 
the grain is larger, plump, extra heavy. 
On account of its attractive appearance 
and the fine quality, the grain brings 
the highest price, and is also extensively 
grown for green fodder. 
Buckwheat (Japanese). The most de¬ 
sirable variety. If sown at the same 
time as the Silver Hull it will ripen 
earlier and yield nearly double the 
amount. It is of much stronger growth 
than the common buckwheat and the 
kernels are fully twice the size. 
Millet (Japanese Barnyard). Succeeds 
in almost any ordinary soil, and may be 
sown from the middle of May to the first 
of July. Is distinct from other varieties. 
Enormous crop, and is excellent, either 
green or cured, for hay. Exceedingly 
popular as a forage plant. 
Millet (Hungarian). Probably used 
more than any other millet for fodder 
during the summer months. Remains 
green when almost all other vegetation 
has dried up. It is one of the very best 
plants for green fodder or for ensilage; 
makes hay of good quality. 
Soudan Grass. A new annual forage 
crop. Soudan grass is a drought- 
resistant hay crop of great merit. In 
dry sections it yields more forage than 
millet, and the hay is relished by stock 
of all kinds. After the ground has become 
warm, seed may be sown broadcast at 
the rate of from 16 to 24 pounds per 
acre; if planted in drills 18 to 24 inches 
apart, from 4 to 6 pounds per acre will 
be sufficient. 
Swedish Type Oats. One of the best 
varieties for home use or market. It is 
a heavy yielder, with stiff straw, thin 
hull, and stands dry weather well. 
Maine 340 Oats. This variety of oat was 
originated in the State of Maine after 
many years of careful selection and 
breeding. A heavy yielder, straw good 
height, stiff and does not lodge easily. 
Oats very heavy and of fine quality. 
Rosen Rye (Winter). Produces a strong, 
vigorous straw and stools to a remark¬ 
able degree. The grain is large, plump, 
heavy and of beautiful color, command¬ 
ing a premium on the market over other 
grains. Owing to its vigorous stooling 
property less seed is required, the prac¬ 
tice being about IV 2 bushels per acre. 
At the State Experimental Farm in 
Michigan, for a number of years the 
average yield has been 41.3 bushels per 
acre, of an exceptionally high quality of 
grain, and 46 bushels per acre is not an 
unusual yield. 
Rye (Spring). For a catch crop this is 
best for sowing in the spring, as a crop 
may be obtained by later sowing than 
any other grain, although it does not 
yield as heavily as the winter rye. 
For extra profit, treat oats, barley and 
wheat with New Improved Ceresan. Un¬ 
usually effective in controlling smut. Ap¬ 
plied by dusting on seed, only 2 oz. for 
wheat or rye, 3 oz. for barley and oats. 
Often increases yield 1 to 5 bushels per 
acre. Price: 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.00. 
Winter Vetches. Also called Sand Vetch 
or Hairy Vetch. Recommended for fall 
sowing with rye, which serves as a sup¬ 
port. It is perfectly hardy in all parts of 
the country, can be harvested or plowed 
under and the ground used for the usual 
spring crop. Sow 60 pounds of the seed 
per acre, together with % bushel of rye. 
Soja Beans. Produce an enormous crop 
of both vines and pods. Valuable as a 
forage crop, and for fertilizing the soil, 
also for pasturing, feeding as green 
fodder, and for silo purposes. Sow V 2 
bushel to the acre. 
Cow or Southern Peas. Green crops 
plowed under are one of the best and 
cheapest ways of improving the soil. 
For this purpose the Cow Peas are very 
popular. They should be sown the last of 
May or in June, at the rate of one and 
one-half bushels to the acre and plowed 
under as soon as they have attained 
their growth. Cow Peas are also valu¬ 
able as a forage crop. 
To insure a good crop of Vetch, Cow 
Peas, or Soja Beans, innoculate the seed 
with NITRAGIN.
