Forage Seeds, Grain, Etc 
(Continued) 
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 
support. 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 V 2 bush¬ 
el 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. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any locality, and one of the most satis¬ 
factory quick-growing crops, especially for sheep. As a fattening food for sheep, cattle, 
calves or pigs, it is without a rival in point of cheapness, is hardy, withstands drought, 
and will produce a crop in any soil. The seed may be sown from May to July, 10 to 12 
pounds per acre. 
SPECIAL MIXTURES FOR PUTTING GREEN AND FAIRWAY 
We carry a stock of grass seeds for Golf Links that will give excellent results. Write 
for prices on special formulas, giving quantity desired. 
PASTURE SEED 
A Special Grass Mixture for Permanent Pastures. This is a special mixture of grasses 
that produce a heavier, thicker and longer continued growth of grasses than when only 
one or two kinds are sown. It also makes a much heavier and thicker sod. 
If unable to harrow into the soil, the seed should be sown just as soon as the snow 
leaves in the spring, while the ground is cool and moist. We recommend using 1 to 114 
bushels of seed per acre. Write for prices.
