80 MICHELL’S SELECTED HAND PICKED FIELD CORN 
Plant 8 to 10 qts. per acre in hills for shelled 
corn or for silo, or sow lj/£ to 2 bushels 
broadcast for fodder. 
Our strains of corn are not the common 
kinds usually found in abundance on the 
market; we give very careful attention to 
selected stock, in all lines of farm seeds. This 
is particularly true of field corn where re-selec¬ 
tion means the limit of crop with little or no 
increase in cost. Our stock is selected for size of 
ear and fodder, uniformity of kernel and the 
careful finish of the tip and butt, all of which 
means a considerable increase in production. 
Field Corn weighs 56 lbs. per bushel. 
Champion White Pearl. An immense yielder, 
maturing in about 115 days; kernels deep set 
and snowy white. 
Early Canada Flint (Eight Rowed). A medium 
broad grained variety, perfectly smooth on 
the end and very hard. Makes a desirable 
sort for late planting. Excellent for pigeon 
and poultry feed. 
Eureka White Ensilage. A popular White 
Dent variety among dairymen; very produc¬ 
tive of both foliage and ears. A great favorite 
for filling silos. 
Golden Beauty. Broad, massive golden yel¬ 
low dented grains on gigantic ears. Fodder 
is enormous, often growing 12 feet high; 
matures late, but yields wonderful crops; 
desirable for silo and ensilage purposes. 
Improved Golden Dent. A high yielding 
variety of yellow dent noted for heavy pro¬ 
duction of both grain and silage. A hardy, 
resistant corn, producing a good ear on every stalk, with few 
nubbins. Ears large, rows straight, butts and tips well filled. 
Grains square cut, moderate in depth, with uniform dimpled 
dent, easily distinguishing it from other varieties. Fodder heavy 
and leafy, 10 to 12 feet tall; on fertile soil capable of yielding 90 
bushels shelled corn or 20 tons silage per acre. 
Lancaster County Sure Crop. One of the best all-around 
general purpose varieties and has proved to be a most reliable 
and profitable corn for either husking or ensilage purposes. 
Grows tall; a sure cropper, producing a big ear on every stalk, 
very few nubbins; will yield good crops on land that is not so 
fertile; ears long, cob thin; top of grain rich yellow, when shelled 
the grain has a reddish yellow cast; matures early. 
Learning Early Dent. Long ears of deep, uniform kernels. The 
cob when shelled is very small. The stalks grow about 7 feet 
high, very leafy, excellent for fodder and on the average will 
produce two ears to the stalk; ripens in 90 days and occasionally 
crops 100 bushels to the acre. 
Reid’s Yellow Dent. A splendid late variety with an average 
record of 100 bushels per acre; small cob, deep yellow grain.

BROOM CORN 
Sow in May, about ten pounds per acre, in drills 3 feet apart. 
Plants should be thinned out to stand 3 inches apart in the row. 
Evergreen. Produces extremely straight brush retaining its 
green color well after ripening, thus commanding the highest 
market prices. Yields 1000 lbs. of salable brush per acre. 
50 lbs. per bu. 30c. per lb. (by P. P., 40c.). 
STANLEY’S CROW REPELLANT 
Protects your corn during the period when it is most easily 
damaged, by ridding your crop of Crows, Pheasants, Black¬ 
birds and other corn pulling birds and animal pests; also 
protects seed from rotting in the ground; insures larger yields; 
is non-poisonous. Per pt., 60c.; $1.00 per pt.; qt., $1.75. 
One pint is sufficient for two bushels of seed corn. 
Price for any of the above varieties of Field Corn 20c. per 
qt. (by P. P., 30c.). 
BARLEY 
The straw is good for green feed or when cured as hay. The 
grain in the hull is excellent poultry feed. If wanted for hay it 
should be cut while the grain-head is in a soft or milky condition. 
Sow broadcast 1L£ to 2 bushels per acre from May 15th to July 1st. 
48 lbs. per bushel. Makes an ideal nurse crop for Spring sown 
Alfalfa, frequently yields 50 bushels per acre. 20c. per quart 
(by P. P„ 30c.). 
BEANS, SOJA OR SOY 
This valuable plant enriches the ground in which it is planted 
by the free nitrogen gathered from the air and which is deposited 
in the ground by the roots. Fodder is relished in either green or 
dry form by cattle. Sow 1bushels per acre alone, or bushel 
Soja Beans with one bushel Cow Peas. Sow in drills 2)^ feet 
apart, any time from the first to the last of May. If wanted for 
silo it will be ready for harvest about the first of September, when 
the pods will be well filled; yields as high as 20 tons of green food 
per acre. 60 lbs. per bushel. 
Mammoth Yellow (Late). 20c. per qt. (by P. P., 35c.).

poultry food. Buckwheat frequently yields as much as 80 
bushels to the acre. 48 lbs. per bu. 15c. per qt. (by P. P., 25c.). 
CORN, WHITE KAFFIR (For Seed)
