Sorghums 
Sorghums are used both for fodder and pasture. As a fodder crop they yield a large quantity of high quality feed. 
As a pasture for sheep or hogs it is unequaled; when grazed down it will quickly start up again, thus affording a large 
amount of pasture during the summer months. Our seed is Northern Grown, selected stock.

amount of rainfall and hot weather. Produces an abundance 
of fine hay that ranks in food value with Timothy. Should 
be sown about the same time corn is planted.

Field Peas 
Peas are a very profitable crop, 
and will also build up the land 
by returning the much needed 
nitrogen to the soil. The clovers 
alone rank higher than peas in 
their enriching properties. The 
vines can be used for hay, or the peas threshed and used 
for feed. Next to corn, peas have a higher feeding value 
than any other grain. Sow 100 to 120 pounds per acre. 
All our peas are Northern grown, selected stock.

Seed Grain 
BEARDLESS SPRING RYE. Spring Rye is a very im¬ 
portant and profitable crop. It is used for replacing winter 
grain that has failed, or planted as a grain crop. Beardless 
Spring Rye is very hardly, yields heavily, and is pre¬ 
ferred for stock feeding, as the usual beards (about 1 inch 
long) mostly break off in handling. 
100 lbs. $2.25; Less than 100 lbs. 3c per lb. 
ROSEN RYE. A fall and winter rye introduced from 
Russia. The grain is much larger than the common variety 
and the yield almost double. Also used extensively for 
spring planting for pasture. 
100 lbs. $2.00; Less than 100 lbs. 2Vac per lb. 
HULLESS or BALD BARLEY. A rapid-growing variety 
of barley which is grown successfully in our Western 
country, and is one of the best crops for green feed. Gan 
be used for hay, but must be harvested in the milk stage. 
Will make excellent grain if allowed to mature, and when 
ground is very good feed for stock. Will make a large 
crop of grain in dry seasons wheni others fail. It has no 
beards and threshes out the same as wheat. Recleaned, 
selected stock.

Sunflowers for Silage 
In the last few years Sunflowers have been grown ex¬ 
tensively for ensilage. The yield varies from 10 tons on 
dry land to 40 tons on rich bottom land under irrigation. 
In feeding value it ranks close to corn ensilage. The 
variety giving best results in this district is the Mam¬ 
moth Russian.

Soy Beans can be grown in any 
section where corn can he raised. 
The Extension Department of the 
University of Idaho have been 
running a large number of field 
tests for the last two years, using 
all the popular varieties. From these tests they have 
selected the following varieties. Minsoy (Early), Ito San 
(Medium), Manchu (Late). 
High altitudes, for hay and pasture, Minsoy variety. 
For 1500 feet to 2000 feet altitude, for hay and pasture, 
all three varieties. 
For seed production, Minsoy and Ito San. 
Under 1500 feet, all three varieties. 
Seed bed should be well prepared and soil warm before 
planting. Do not plant over 2 inches deep. 
Inoculation is necessary; it promotes growth and hastens 
maturity. 
Oease cultivation when blooms appear. 
Amount of seed required per acre for seed purposes : 
Rows 3 feet apart, hills 20 inches apart—Minsoy 5 lbs.; 
Ito San, 5 lbs.; Manchu, 8 lbs. 
For hay and pasture: Stop every other hole in grain 
drill, seeding about one seed per square foot, which will 
require approximately—Minsoy, 12 lbs.; Ito San, 14 lbs.; 
Manchu, 19 lbs.

BEARDLESS BARLEY. Is as easily grown and handled 
as either oats or wheat, and is a very desirable crop on 
account of its earliness and adaptability to almost any 
kind of soil. Beardless Barley is a splendid feed for all 
farm stock, and cattle, sheep, horses and hogs will thrive 
and fatten on it. Is one of the best grains for hay. 
especially for horses, and is used extensively by the stock 
men in this district. There is a short crop this season and 
suggest you order early. Recleaned, selected stock. 
100 lbs. $2.00; Less than 100 lbs. 2V2C per lb. 
Western Flax Seed 
There should be more flax sown, as it is one of the 
most dependable crops in the West Matures very quickly, 
and can be planted as late as the middle of June, and 
therefore is desirable as a catch crop. Can also be used 
as a nurse crop. Flax takes less moisture and fertility 
from the soil than other grains, and under favorable 
conditions will yield 15 to 20 bushels per acre. 
100 lbs. $6.50; Less than 100 lbs. 8c per lb.
