EARLY OHIO. This is the earliest and best, most 
popular potato variety grown in the Central West 
today. It is a good keeper; popular with the home 
cooks and one that you can depend on year after 
vear to give you heavy yields. Shallow eyes, 
pink’skin, white flesh, no waste in peeling. These 
mature about two weeks earlier than southern 
grown seed. 
IRISH COBBIiER. The Irish Cobbler is a white, 
smooth skinned potato, shallow eyes and is good 
for baking, cooks dry, and mealy; is a wonderful 
keeper. The plant is a thrifty, vigorous grower. 
Matures only 3 to 6 days after the Early Ohio.

Many potato raisers throughout the Farm 
Belt tried a peck or two of the Katahdin last 
year. Those who raised it were certainly im¬ 
pressed by its quality and heavy yield. 
Mrs. J. S. Hamm of Shambaugh, Iowa, had a 
fine exhibit of Katahdin Potatoes at our Hor¬ 
ticultural Show. They yielded at the rate of 350 
bushels per acre; ran very uniform in size and 
are a wonderful keeping variety. The char¬ 
acteristic of the Katahdin is its uniform, ob¬ 
long shape; very, very shallow eyes; light firm 
skin and solid, all white, mealy flesh. It is a 
real prize winner. Housewives like it because 
there is no waste in peeling. 
Stocks of genuine certified Katahdin Pota¬ 
toes are scarce. I have taken the entire output 
of one grower. Put up in 25 lb. sacks, 
with the certified tag on each sack, as * 
long as they last, I offer them at 85c w —

COSSACK ALFALFA 
Mayworth Quality 
The extra hardy Alfalfa that came from Si¬ 
beria. Equally as hardy as Grimm. I think it 
does better on higher ground than the Grimm. 
Variegated blossoms and heavy stooling crowns. 
Makes an abundance of fine leafy hay. Put up;

GROHOMA

One of the newer and better varieties of grain 
sorghum, is Grohoma. Stems are moderately 
juicy and slightly sweet. Its value is in its im¬ 
mense yields — it sometimes produces 100 
bushels of grain. It grows four to six feet tall; 
heads are 15 to 18 inches in length and makes 
it a very palatable livestock feed.

Extra Early, 
High Yielding 
Variety 
As more and more farmers try Fulghum, they 
are discarding other varieties of early oats and 
using it exclusively. A few years ago, M. A. Mc- 
Neal of Watson, Missouri, got me to try Fulghum 
and I placed Fulghum with several of my custom¬ 
ers for them to report to me what it did. The 
results were almost beyond belief. If Fulghum is 
planted early, either in February or early March, 
it will mature early and give yields as high as 
100 to 120 bushels per acre on good corn land. It 
is adapted to Northeast Kansas, Northern Mis¬ 
souri, Southern Iowa and Southeastern Nebraska. 
Try it—raise a few acres of this remarkable oat 
this year.
