SPRING WHEAT 
Spring wheat can be raised anywhere in the northeastern states as well 
as in the West. Sow as early as possible. 
Marquis. A very early beardless wheat that succeeds well in the East, 
producing larger yields than any other kind. This is due to its earliness 
and freedom from rust.

soy 
Soy Beans should he grown more extensively. 
They are not only a valuable plant for stock feeding on account of the 
high protein content of the beans and plant, but being a legume they actu¬ 
ally improve the soil by adding nitrogen thereto, whether they are grown 
for feed and cut or plowed under as a cover crop. Cows give more milk and 
sheep fatten better on Soy bean hay than any other kind. The vines can 
be cut and used as hay or they may be left until the beans are ripe and fed 
without threshing. Will yield 3 to 4 tons of hay and 20 bu. of grain per acre. 
For Grain drill in rows about 28 inches apart and cultivate two or 
three times, or they can be drilled with a grain drill in 7" rows and dragged 
over with a rotary hoe when the beans are about 5" high. It is important 
to kill the weeds when the plants are still young. Use about one bushel 
per acre. 
WINTER WHEAT 
HONOR. Considered the best white winter wheat now grown. The heads 
are of good size, smooth chaff, and well filled with kernels of medium 
hardness and are very plump. The milling qualities are very good. 
The yield is much higher than common kinds. 
We will have certified seed of Honor Wheat to offer in August. 
Lowest prices will be quoted after harvest. 
BEANS 
For Seed it is better to cut with a grain binder when the leaves fall mak¬ 
ing the bundles small, altho some farmers use a mower with swather 
attached to cutting bar successfully. 
For the Silo. Soy beans grown with corn make ensilage, far superior to 
corn alone. Use about 11 qts. of Soy beans and 9 qts. of corn per acre. 
Sow the corn and beans together keeping them well mixed in the planter 
box. They can be harvested with the corn in one operation. 
For Plowing Under. A crop of Soy beans plowed under in the fall adds 
a large amount of nitrogen and humus to the soil. Use 2 bushels of seed 
per acre in drills 7" apart. 
For Hay. Soy beans make excellent hay. They should be sowed in 
solid drills at the rate of about 2 bushels per acre. Cut with a mower and 
handle like alfalfa. 
EARLY MICHIGAN. An Outstanding Variety for the North. To 
grow Soy beans for the grain profitable here in the North it is necessary 
to have a variety that will not only grow a plant with good foliage, 
but one that is early enough to produce good crops of beans year in and 
year out. This the Early Michigan will do. It has been bred in the 
northern part of Michigan for a number of years and will produce a good 
crop of beans each year without fail. We have found that Early Michi¬ 
gan is well adapted to conditions here in New York State, being much 
more than three weeks earlier than the Wilson and at least 10 days 
earlier than Manchu and about a week later than the new Cayuga. 
The plant grows upright and is about 2}/^ to 3 feet high with a medium 
stem and well covered with leaves. The plants are literally covered with 
pods, each containing four dark brown beans. 
2 Lbs. (Qt.) 40c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. 85c; Bu. $2.75; 
Sack (2 Bu.) $5.25. 
CERTIFIED CAYUGA. (New.) This new variety has been developed at 
the New York State Collegeof Agriculture and has proved an exceptionally 
valuable kind for grain here in the North where the later varieties do 
not usually mature large crops of ripe seed. It is early maturing and 
ripens seed regularly in practically all parts of New York State. It is 
upright in growth and when sown at the recommended rates, on good 
soil the plants reach a height of two to three feet. The seed is nearly 
black and about the size and shape of good pea beans. This is a heavy 
yielding variety, many farms reporting 20 to 25 bu. of seed per acre and 
in some cases as high as 35 bu. per acre have been reported. 
Some dairymen cut the crop just before the leaves fall, allow it to dry 
in the field and grind it in hammer mills. This furnishes a dairy feed of 
high nutrition value.

Early Michigan Soy Beans 
Noting the large number of pods on the crop at Moreton Farm. 
Manchu Soy Beans. This variety is better suited to the northern 
states for hay and ensilage than for seed. The plants are 3 feet tall, 
upright, with few branches near the ground. The foliage is heavy and the 
yield of hay above most other kinds. Ten days later than Early Michi¬ 
gan and cannot be depended on to ripen seed in this climate. Its fine 
stems make hay of high quality. 
2 Lbs. (Qt.) 35c transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. (Pk.) 75c; 
60 Lbs. (Bu.) $2.50; Bag of 2 Bu. $4.75. 
FOR SOY BEANS. More than with any other crop 
it is important that Soy Beans be inoculated with 
nitrogen fixing bacteria. Lack of proper inoculation 
may reduce the crop as much as 50%.

Seeds of FORAGE CROPS, COVER CROPS, Etc. 
There are many plants suitable for forage and soiling that should be Prices quoted here are subject to market changes and to our stocks being 
better known than they are. They are of great value both for stock feeding unsold. Purchaser pays transportation, except where quoted “ Trans- 
and improving worn-out soil. portation paid.” We will quote lowest prices on any seed required. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
Grown principally for the vines which make hay, equal to the best clover 
hay. Sow with oats and cut when the oats head out, but before the grain is 
ripe. This makes excellent hay for sheep, horses and cows. It is as easily 
cured as clover and will yield large crops. Sow bu. of peas and 1 bu. of 
oats per acre. 
Pk. $1.10; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $3.75; Bag (2 Bu.) $7.50. Price for larger 
lots will be quoted by letter at any time. 
Sudan Grass 
COW PEAS 
WHIPPOORWILL. This is the most popular variety. This is really a 
bean and is used for both hay and plowing under. It grows very rapidly 
and matures early so is valuable for the North. The upright vines are 
not coarse so make excellent hay. Sow in June and the crop can be cut in 
August. Use about 1 bushel of seed per acre in drills 28 inches apart. 
For hay or plowing under, broadcast bushels per acre. 
Qt. (2 Lbs.) 30c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. $1.00; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $3.35; 2 Bu. or more at $3.25 per Bu. Subject to market changes. 
SUDAN GRASS 
A Wonderful Forage Plant. Sudan grass succeeds well on dry soil where 
other millets would not amount to anything. Immense yields of excel¬ 
lent hay are obtained, especially when the seed is sown quite early and 
two cuttings are made. If left to mature it grows 5 to 6 ft. tall and makes 
excellent ensilage. Cows, horses and sheep eat it readily and eat it up 
clean. Sow broadcast or drill in rows 20 to 24 inches apart about the 
time corn is planted in your locality and cultivate two or three times. 
It can be sown as late as July but it will only give one cutting. 
Lb. 20c; 5 Lbs. 75c transportation paid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. $1.65; 
100 Lbs. $6.00; 50 Lbs. or more will be supplied at the 100 Lb. price.
