PH ALAR IS OR REED 
CANARY GRASS 
A magnificent grass for wet, low-lying, poorly 
drained soils,—in fact, the only grass we know of for 
reclaiming waste, marshy lands. On many farms are 
to be found low wet situations where neither Red 
Top, Alsike, nor anything else will grow, and for 
these situations, Phalaris or Reed Canary Grass is 
the thing to plant. 
Phalaris is very hardy and as the seed shatters so 
easily, coupled with the flowing and receding of the 
water, it spreads rapidly. 
The hay is a little coarse, especially if it is left to 
grow too long, but it is nutritious and tasty and all 
stock like it and relish it. It contains about 10.5% 
crude protein (15% moisture basis) compared with 
12.3% crude protein in red clover hay (14.3% 
moisture basis). It must be remembered however 
that this hay is coming from heretofore purely waste 
land. Thie leaves are quite broad and the plant 
flourishes, often growing 5 to 7 feet high. Under¬ 
ground stems rapidly form a tough sod and hold hay 
machinery without difficulty. Yields of 4.57 tons 
of hay per acre from two cuttings, have been re¬ 
ported. Cut the first crop for hay as soon as the 
heads or panicles appear. Two cuttings can be made 
and then some fall pasture may be had or 3 cuttings 
may be made. If you have any wet or swampy land, 
Phalaris is the grass to plant. 
Broadcast 5 to 6 pounds per acre or drill in % in. deep, 
at the rate of 2 to 3 pounds in 18 in. rows. If the land 
is well drained so you can prepare a seed bed, do so. If 
covered with water, wait till the water recedes and then 
sow. If there is difficulty in getting on the field in 
spring, the seed may be sown in October, and where 
water is constantly on the area, and cannot be drained, 
sods 3x3 inches should be cut from old Phalaris stands 
and planted 2 feet apart. The seed may also be sown on 
the surface of the water but this method is not very cer¬ 
tain. As the seed shatters so easily, it is expensive but 
it is an investment. Phalaris may even be sown on the 
ground and snow in January, leaving it to settle with 
the weather.

SPRING SPELTZ, OR EMMER 
Let Salzer’s Speltz help you cut down your feed bills. 
It will grow any place on earth where grain can be 
raised and it grows where wheat, oats and barley would 
be a failure; it is the most profitable hay and grain 
food on earth; it ripens early and neither rusts, blights, 
nor lodges; it is relished by all classes of stock; it is 
splendid for hay and fattens in the green state. 
Sow on ground prepared as you would for barley, 
wheat or oats, either broadcast or drill, at the rate of 60 
to 80 lbs. Frost will not damage early planting. Cut 
the grain when it is a little past the milk stage, when 
it will make a splendid grain and lots of straw. 4097—

RAPE 
It may be sown in the following ways: 1. In the early 
spring for sheep and hogs’ pasture, 5 to 10 pounds per acre. 
2. Alone in June or July, on newly plowed land. 3. With corn 
just before the last cultivation. 4. With rye, in August or 
September, for late pasture. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE ““May be sown any time from 
early spring until August and is a success on nearly every 
soil in the United States and Canada. It thrives splendidly in 
cool weather. Sixty bushel of oats and 18 ton of rape per 
acre have been grown, without interfering" with the harvest¬ 
ing of the oats, and the rape afterwards producing 18 ton 
of forage. Salzer’s Dwarf Essex is genuine Holland grown.

Progress or Wisconsin Pedigree No. 1611 
The wheat that does not rust! Progress Wheat is the best 
bearded spring wheat for Wisconsin ami is proving just as 
valuable in other states. Progress is a high yielding, rust re¬ 
sistant, bearded, white glumed, spring wheat and has a dark 
red hard kernel of superior milling quality. Straw is short 
and very stiff, heads compact and bearded, grain large, plump 
and beautiful. Over a five year test at the Marshfield Station, 
it outyielded every other wheat by 7^ bu. per acre. It was 
developed at the Marshfield Station from a selection of the 
Early Java. Its value is thoroughly established and it is one 
of the highest yielders, with grain of superior quality.

MARQUIS “"It outyields any other Bald Spring Wheat 
grown under the same conditions. This variety holds the 
World’s Championship for the best appearing and best mill¬ 
ing wheat. Originally introduced from Canada. Kernels are 
beautiful dark red, hard, of large size, attractive shape and 
color. Heads are exceptionally large, beardless and prac¬ 
tically rust proof. Smooth, yellow chaff which hugs kernel 
closely, thus resisting frost. Does not thresh out in the wind. 
Straw medium in height and very stiff. Marquis kernels usu¬ 
ally retain their plumpness—hence its high milling value.

SUNFLOWER—For the Silo 
Produces an enormous tonnage of from 20 to 30-tons per 
acre. Fed to dairy cattle, it is found to be satisfactory in 
every way. The cows relish it and produce practically as 
much milk as when fed on the other ensilage. Sow any¬ 
time before the middle of July, in rows far enough apart 
to permit cultivation. Use 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. Cultivate 
and harvest the same as corn.

SALZER’S SPRING RYE 
Rye produces a crop that can be relied 
upon regardless of drought, wet, cold, or 
excessive heat conditions and many weed- 
infested farms have been cleared by grow¬ 
ing this grain. As a fertilizer it is a won¬ 
der; it can be grown on thinner land than 
other cereals; as a feed for growing pigs, 
you cannot beat rye. If you have any thin 
clay points on your farm, there is the place 
to plant rye. It is much used as a forage 
crop and grown together with vetches and 
oats at the rate of % bu. per acre and is 
also often used as a catch crop. 56 pounds 
IT one bushel. Sow 1 V 2 bu. per acre.
