GURNEY’S PEDIGREED SEED GRAIN 
Many acres of land go to waste each year because seed grains are sown without much thought as to purity and quality. Fields infested with Mustard 
represent the result obtained from careless handling and purchase of poor quality seed. When uncleaned or impure seed grain is used for seed, noxious 
weeds are planted in a few hours which it takes years of effort to get rid of. Assure yourself of greater production by buying Gurney’s Pedigreed Seed.

Cedar Falls, Iowa 
The House of Gurney, Aug. 5, 1935 
Yankton, S. D. 
Gentlemen: 
This is just a letter to tell you how 
pleased we are with the results of our early 
Iogold seed oats we purchased from you last 
spring.We have just finished our threshing. 
YVe had two fields almost side by side, the 
one from your seed oats went 67 bushels to 
the acre, machine measure; and our own, 
Early Champion went 37. Each field was 
cared for the same way. Yours truly, 
Mr. & Mrs. Lester H. Ford 
Cedar Falls, Iowa Route 3

wheat will not grow. 50 lbs., $1.45; 100 lbs.,

SOY BEANS INCREASE PROFITS 
Soy Bean oil has come to the front in the past 
few years as a valuable oil in the manufacture of 
paints. However, soy beans have a number *of 
other important uses. It makes an excellent hay 
and * s wonderful for silage when grown with 
corn. Soy beans are more resistant to frost than 
corn and they also stand hot weather. They are 
adapted to nearly all soils and do especially well 
in sandy soils. They are the only legume crop 
• MANCHU 
Manchu is the best known and most popular 
variety of soy beans in the Northwest. It is 
medium early in season, early enough to fully 
mature dry beans under ordinary conditions and 
lar^e enough to be of real value. Furthermore, 
tl}£.beans have but little tendency to split, mak¬ 
ing threshing an easier task. The dry beans ma¬ 
ture in about 100 days. Iowa farmers report as 
high as 38 bu. per acre yield. They can be cut 
with a grain binder and threshed with an 
ordinary threshing machine by reducing the 
spbed of the cylinder to one-half and taking out 
paft of the concave. Broadcast 80 to 90 pounds 
to the acre and drill 40 pounds. 1 lb., 20c; 10 
lbs. 1 , 70c; 25 lbs., $1.10; 50 lbs., $1.85; 100 lbs., 
$3.25; 500 lbs., $15.25. 
Manchu soy beans raised at Yankton. 
that will take root in acid soils and build up the 
land. Furthermore, they make a wonderful 
emergency crop, for when clover fields or any 
other crops are washed out or are devastated, 
soy beans can be put in late. 
Soy beans should be planted at corn planting 
time or even later — as late as the 20th of June 
and give an excellent soy bean crop. They do 
best with shallow covering; and be sure to in¬ 
oculate the seed with Nitragin before planting. 
• ILLINr 
This new variety was developed at the Illinois 
Experiment Station. It seems to grow a little 
taller than Manchu, giving a heavier yield and 
is nearly as early. Almost as desirable as Manchu 
in every way and probably better for hay pur¬ 
poses. Manchu or Illini are equally good for fod¬ 
der. For silage, plant the beans with corn using 
an equal number of pounds of beans and corn. 
When planting alone with a drill or seeder, use 
80 lbs. per acre. When drilled in with a corn 
planter, use 40 lbs. Soy beans as a hay crop are 
higher in protein content than alfalfa hay or 
field peas. An excellent hay for dairy cattle. 
1 lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 70c; 25 lbs., $1.10; 50 lbs., 
$1.85; 100 lbs., $3.25; 500 lbs., $15.25.
