SEED OATS 
SWEDISH TYPE WHITE AND PU1GHUM 
Our Oats are carefully selected stock and well re¬ 
cleaned. Do not confuse them with ordinary peed Oats. 
WINTER TURF OATS 
For fall and spring sowing. 4 to 5 feet high; straw 
is very palatable for stock. 1% to 2 bu. per acre. 
VETCH - Hairy or Sand - Vicia villosa 
Winter annual, adapted to sandy soil and will do 
much to build up any soil especially when inoculated. 
Withstands cold weather. Should be sown from late 
August to middle of September. Can be sown with 
Rye. 
SPRING VETCH - Vicia sativa 
Used with oats for producing spring hay. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
Grown with oats will make a fodder or hay which 
doubles the production of milk. 
Should be sown in March or early April, two bu. of 
peas and two bu. of oats to the acre.The peas should 
be sown first and plowed under about 4 inches deep; 
the oats then sowed and harrowed in. They will be 
ready for cutting about the end of June, when oats are 
in milk and the pods formed on peas. Write for prices. 
SUNFLOWER, Mammoth Russian 
The best variety for the farmer. Drill in seed at 
about 8 to 10 lbs. to acre. It is much relished by 
poultry and horses. Current prices on request. 
BROOM CORN, 
Tall. Standard Evergreen. 
Dwarf. Evergreen Dwarf and Scarborough Dwarf. 
These varieties are known to produce the finest 
quality straw, and command the highest prices. 
Sow 4 to 5 lbs. per acre in drills, rows 3 feet apart. 
Thin out the stalks to about 70 to the rod. Cultivate 
same as corn. Cut when seed is in the milk. 
SOY BEANS 
Soy Beans are becoming more popular each year as 
a general purpose crop, being valuable not only for 
hay and forage, but also for soil improvement, follow¬ 
ing or preceding other crops. They are a valuable pas¬ 
ture crop for hogs as well as other stock, and can be 
sown by themselves for this purpose; or in the corn 
rows and the hogs turned in to feed on them after the 
corn is harvested. 
The value of Soy Beans as a grain crop makes it 
particularly adapted to systems of rotation. Dike 
other legumes, Soy Beans are able to utilize the nitro¬ 
gen of the air, adding it to the soil. Soy Beans should 
therefore be inoculated. Actual experiments have 
shown that legumes not inoculated rob the soil; inocu¬ 
lated they feed the soil. Sow 1% to 2 bushels per acre 
broadcast, in drills 45 pounds, after danger of frost is 
past. 
We carry the following varieties in stock. Write 
for full description and current prices. 
Best for Hay Crop 
Wilson Black Ebony 
Laredo Virginia 
Other Varieties 
Manchu Midwest 
Hollybrook Illini 
Black Eyebrow Itosan 
Dunfield Mammoth Yellow 
Use Nitragin Inoculator. 
COW PEAS 
The Great Soil Improving Crop 
Grow best on light or sandy soils. Have a high 
feeding value. Belonging to the bean family, they are 
nitrogen gathering plants and if inoculated will im¬ 
prove the productiveness of the soil. 
We carry the following varieties: 
New Eras, Whippoorwill, Mixed varieties. New Eras 
are usually preferred in this section. 
Sow iy 2 bushels per acre after danger of frost. 
Use Nitragin Inoculator. 
“ACME” BEST MILLET 
TRUE TENNESSEE CULTIVATED GERMAN 
(Round Seed.) This Millet withstands drought 
better than all other varieties. It is used as a sum¬ 
mer hay crop and particularly adapted to rich or hot- 
tom soils. It should be sown thickly and cut when the 
heads are in bloom, never allowing it to get old or 
seed to form as this causes a great drain on the soil 
besides materially injuring the quality of hay. Very 
useful for cleaning rich, foul lands of weeds as its 
quick, abundant, luxuriant growth smothers most 
weeds. Sow one bushel per acre in May, June or July. 
Two crops can be seeded on the same land in one sea¬ 
son, if desired. 
WHITE WONDER MILLET 
Produces a very large head similar to the Tennes¬ 
see Millet. Under certain growing conditions it is 
quite difficult to distinguish it from the cultivated 
millet. The heads will run from six to eight inches. A 
very desirable feature is its earliness; the foliage is 
also very heavy and the leaves broad, resembling 
Golden Millet. It produces an immense amount of ex¬ 
cellent fodder which cures very readily. 
HUNGARIAN 
Specially adapted to rich or alluvial soil. It makes a 
finer quality of hay than Millet on very rich soil as 
it does not grow so coarse. Cut at the right time, 
which is in bloom, and cured properly, it makes a nu¬ 
tritious hay; is especially popular with dairymen. 
Sow from % to 1 bushel per acre in May, June or 
July. Current prices on request. 
BUCKWHEAT 
A splendid crop for poor land. Largely used for bees. 
Culture —Sow in June, July or August at rate of % 
bu. to 1 bu. per acre broadcast, covering with a 
smoothing harrow. It does not mature grain until the 
cool nights—hence, too early sowing is not desirable. 
JAPANESE. This produces the largest yield of finest 
and largest kernel buckwheat. Superior to all other 
sorts. Current prices on request. 
SILVER HULL. Much improved over the common 
Buckwheat. Grains, however, smaller than Japanese 
but yielding abundantly. Current prices on request. 
KAFFIR CORN 
Foliage and stalks do not contain saccharine mat¬ 
ter, hence are not so valuable for feeding, but the 
enormous yield of grain makes it very profitable. The 
grain is very largely used for poultry and stock feed¬ 
ing, containing a high percentage of starch. Current 
prices on request. 
RYE 
NORTHERN ROSEN - HOME GROWN 
Our Rye is carefully selected stock and well re¬ 
cleaned. Do not confuse it with ordinary milling Rye. 
BARLEY 
Barley needs a rich land and lighter than that 
adapted to wheat. It should be cut before fully ripe, 
if for hay, as it is then of better quality, and less 
liable to shell. Sow 1 y 2 to 2 bushels if drilled; 2 to 
2 y 2 bushels broadcast. (48 lbs. per bushel.) 
We usually carry the following spring varieties: 
Oderbrucker Bearded. Yields heavily and most com¬ 
monly used in this section. 
Spartan Bearded, but has smooth barbless beards. 
Velvet or Barbless Barley, a bearded variety. 
Also for fall sowing we offer: 
Winter or Pall Bearded Barley. Description and 
prices on request. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Rape makes excellent pasture for both sheep and 
hogs and is a fine conditioner for all live stock, except 
milk cows. Best results are obtained by planting in 
two separate fields; pasturing alternately 10 days 
each. Plant any time, early spring to midsummer. 
Sow 3 pounds per acre in drills; 6 pounds broadcast. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Sudan Grass produces an immense yield of nutri¬ 
tious hay. It can be cut twice in a season if planted 
early in the season but after frost danger. Grows 3 
to 5 feet high. It is adapted to growing in all kinds of 
soil but produces the largest yield in warm, temper¬ 
ate latitude. After first cutting it stools enormously 
and then furnishes exceptionally fine pasture for all 
stock, except milk cows. It is killed by the first frost. 
8 to 12 pounds in drills 2 y 2 to 3 ft. apart or broad¬ 
cast 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
SORGHUM OR CANE 
EARLY AMBER - EARLY ORANGE 
These two varieties are favorites north of the Ohio 
river, growing 10 to 12 ft. high. It makes an excel¬ 
lent fodder and it is also fine for silage.
