Buckwheat 
Seed 
Here is a crop that is overlooked in many sections, 
but it shouldn’t be. It is a dependable cropper. 
Grows almost anywhere — on any kind of soil. 
Buckwheat is a good producer of grain, and also serves 
as a "catch” crop that may be sown where other crops 
have failed or where hardly anything else will grow. Valu¬ 
able for bees, too. 
May be seeded all of June and first half of July. Only 
one bushel of seed per acre is needed. Yield in grain and 
straw is heavy, even on thin soils. 
Buckwheat flour is very valuable human food. Buck¬ 
wheat middlings have high protein content and are much in 
demand for dairy feed. Buckwheat in the grain is an attrac¬ 
tive poultry feed. 
Wherever there is the possibility of other crops fail¬ 
ing, Buckwheat seed should be kept on hand ready for quick 
seeding. Besides producing heavy crops on poor soils, it 
must be remembered that Buckwheat is not hard on land. 
Altogether, Buckwheat has few rivals as a "catch” crop. 
Most folks prefer the "Japanese” variety of Buckwheat, 
a dark brown, good-sized kernel, that yields very well. See 
Price List.
