Soy Beans 
They can be grown wherever corn can be grown; they furnish good for¬ 
age and improve the soil. They will grow on soil too acid for clover 
and fit readily into any crop rotation. They furnish an excellent qual¬ 
ity of feed, either as grain, hay or green forage. The best time for 
seeding is about corn planting time, or when the ground has become 
thoroughly warm. Soy Beans should not be sown too deeply, as poor 
stands frequently result from too deep covering. They can be planted 
with corn, or they may be planted alone either for hay or grain, fol¬ 
lowed the next year with corn and wheat. Corn and Soy Beans grown 
together can be hogged down with profit. Soy Beans are a legume, 
fine for soil improvement. They should be inoculated for best results. 
Good seed is essential to success. When grown for seed it requires 
2% pecks drilled or 5 pecks sown solid; for hay, 6 pecks per acre 
solid; or for silage, 4 to 6 lbs. per acre when sown with corn; for silo, 
plant 1 bushel Soy Beans to 15 lbs. Sudan. 60 lbs. per bushel. 
MANCHU. A medium early (105 days) with erect and bushy plant, good 
for hay or pasture, or hogging off with early corn. Write for price list. 
WILSON. (Early Black Wilson). A medium late (120 days) variety 
which does well on the poorer types of soil. Plant tall and slender, 
tending to twine. Probably the best known all-around sort for silage 
and hay. Write for price list. 
Seed Oats 
WAYNE. A new, medium early white Oats, developed by the Ohio Ag¬ 
ricultural Experiment Station, first distributed for increase in 1930. 
This variety has led all others in yield trials at Wooster over a long 
period of years, and is now recommended especially for northern and 
northeastern Ohio. Mr. C. Thompson, of Hancock County, Ohio, pro¬ 
duced 100 bushels per acre. We grew these Oats on our own farm this 
past season and it out-yielded all other sorts. Has stiff straw. We are 
headquarters for Certified Seed. Write for price list. 
MIAMI. This Oats, originated by the Ohio Experiment Station, has made 
a remarkable record throughout the northern half of Ohio, and is 
rapidly forging ahead in that section. It is an excellent branching or 
tree sort. The grain is large, white and plump. It is a strong grower 
and a good yielder, is early and ripens evenly. Straw fairly stiff. Does 
well on medium light soil. Write for price list. 
FRANKLIN. This new early Oats originated from a plant selection 
made in 1922 from Fulghum by the Department of Farm Crops of the 
Ohio State University. As compared with Fulghum, Franklin has long¬ 
er and stiller straw, matures slightly later, has full-type head, white 
chaff and reddish kernel. It is adapted to the southern half of the 
state but will probably give superior yields in all sections where Ful¬ 
ghum has been found to be adapted. Our seed is certified. Write for 
price list. 
Canada Field Peas 
One of the best hay and soiling crops. Usually sown with oats, which 
makes a rich, nutritious hay. Splendid to cut and feed green. Sow 90 
pounds of Peas to 48 pounds of oats early in the spring. Best mixture 
all around. 60 lbs., per bushel. Write for price list. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Furnishes pasture of high carrying capacity for hogs and sheep. It can 
be seeded from early April to the last of July and produces pasture 
in 7 to 10 weeks from seeding date. Rape is ready to pasture when » 
to 12 inches high. Rape may be sown broadcast 7 lbs. per acre, or in 
rows 5 lbs. per acre. A light harrowing to cover the seed should fol¬ 
low broadcasting. Frequently sown in mixture of Canadian Peas and 
Oats, also in the corn field at the last working (5 lbs. seed). It responds 
well to applications of lime and fertilizer, 4 to 5 lbs. of sweet clover 
seed may be mixed with the rape with good results. The fields sown 
to Rape should be divided into fractional parts by temporary fences 
so as to alternate the animals. One division may be recovering while 
the other is being pastured. 50 lbs. per bu. Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., 
$1.10, postpaid. Write for price list on larger quantities. 
field PUMPKINS. (See page 27). 
Velvet Barley 
This new six-row variety produced by the Minnesota Experiment Sta¬ 
tion is a heavy yielder producing as much or more grain than other 
sorts per acre. It has a very stiff straw and is more disease-resistant 
than other varieties. The great advantage of Velvet Barley over others 
lies in the fact that it is smooth-awned having no barbs on the beards. 
Therefore much more easily handled than any other Barley. In 6-year 
average comparative tests at the Ohio Experiment Station it yielded 
40 bushels per acre. Drill 2 bushels per acre. 48 lbs. per bu. Write 
for Farm Seed price list.
