Heavyweight Sure Crop 
ATTENTION, FARMERS! Here is just the type of corn 
you’ve been wanting for years. A type which combines all the 
good qualities of both our Yellow Dent and Sure Crop varie¬ 
ties, and eliminates the poor qualities of each. This corn, 
developed in the eastern section of our rich Garden Spot 
County, has increased rapidly in demand among local farmers, 
and now after several very successful years of growth we are 
assured it is just the type a great many farmers are seeking. 
It matures about as early as our famous Lancaster County 
Sure Crop and grows just about as tall. It ears very close to 
the ground, a factor which holds it erect throughout the sea¬ 
son, and frequently one stalk will produce two large ears. It 
produces a very close grained, compact, full ear, ofttimes 
reaching 12 inches in length and from 2 to 2% inches in diam¬ 
eter with but a very thin cob. The grains are deep and broad 
and have a light cap, giving the ear a light yellow color. 
With these qualities combined there is not another variety 
grown that will give you as much good, solid corn as this new¬ 
est of all varieties. Be sure to try several acres this year and 
you will never want anything else. See price list. 
Millets 
Golden Millet 
Also known as German Millet, is the best for hay or fodder. 
When cut in full bloom the quality is exceptionally good and 
all kinds of stock relish it. On good soil a yield as high as five 
tons per acre may be expected. Sow 35 pounds per acre. See 
price list. 
Japanese Millet (Billion Dollar Grass) 
The best soil on which to grow this Millet is that which is in 
fair condition of fertility and inclined to be wet rather than 
dry. Japanese Millet is adapted to all seasons. It will grow six 
to eight feet high. It is excellent for silage. It is fully equal 
to the best corn fodder as a food for milch cows. The seed may 
be sown broadcast at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre. This 
variety stools remarkably and should not be sown too thick. 
See price list. 
HEAVYWEIGHT SURE CROP 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
This plant is a valuable forage crop. One acre of 
it will pasture more hogs, sheep and cattle than four 
acres of Clovers or other grasses. As a healthy fat¬ 
tening pasture food it has no equal. It is an annual, 
producing large leaves, and can be sown any time 
from early Spring until September, and is ready for 
pasture 6 to 8 weeks after sowing. It stands out 
without a rival for cheapness and effectiveness. 
Sow four to five pounds per acre, broadcast. See 
price list. 
Marquis Spring Wheat 
Marquis Spring Wheat is undoubtedly the heav¬ 
iest yielding type in existence today, and anyone 
needing Spring Wheat will certainly do well to or¬ 
der this splendid variety. Remarkably early, pro¬ 
ductive, unexcelled in milling qualities. 
pounds Vetch and about one-half bushel of Oats or 
Barley. The grain sown with Vetch will act as a 
support for the vines. Vetch should be inoculated 
with Stimugerm for best results. See price list. 
Buckwheat 
Buckwheat can be planted from June 1st to middle 
of July and is used much by farmers having vacant 
land upon which they were unable to get planted an 
earlier crop, or upon land where another crop has 
failed. Buckwheat does well on poor soil and makes 
one of the best fertilizer crops to turn under. A 
small patch planted near the poultry yard can be 
harvested by the chickens. Sow one bushel per acre. 
Japanese 
This is the standard and most popular variety of 
Buckwheat, and ripens a week earier than the Silver 
Hull It is the most productive and prolific variety 
in cultivation. It resists drought and blight well. 
Sandy or Hardy Vetch 
Also known as Winter Vetch. It is a rapid grower 
and thrives on little moisture. It is a winter annual 
and can be sown Spring or Fall. Stays green all 
winter furnishing an abundance of Pasture until 
early Spring to late in Fall. It is a tremendou 
yielder, P produc?ng 15 to 20 tons green forage per 
acre. As a fertilizer it has few equals, as B Sjows 
on poor soils exceedingly well, and a 
plowed under is claimed to be equal to ?20 to $4t 
worth of Commercial Fertilizer. Sow about 40 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan Grass is a tall grass, which grows from 
four to seven feet high. The stems are small and 
leafy. It is like the Sorghum or Millets, and must 
be started each Spring. It is easily cured for hay 
and stock will eat it readily. May be cut from two 
to four times in one year. The crop should be cut 
for hay as soon as the grass is full headed, and early 
cutting is advised when the crop is to be used for 
hay. See price list.
