Dwarf Essex Rape. Especially desirable for green 
manuring and pasture; also of considerable com¬ 
mercial value as a forage for stock and poultry; 
for sheep and swine it is a particularly fine feed. 
Seed may be sown in May for Summer crops and 
in June and July for Fall feeding. The war has 
shortened the supply of Rape and it is very scarce. 
Sow|23^ to 3 lbs. per acre in drills; 5 lbs. per acre 
broadcast. (Bushel, 60 lbs.) 
Buckwheat, Japanese. This variety is of stronger 
growth and produces larger grain than the 
common Buckwheat. (Bushel, 48 lbs.) 
Barley. Select, recleaned and dependable seed; 
sown extensively in New England for fodder. 
(Bushel, 48 lbs.) 
Rye, Spring. Used for early feed, but it is more 
valuable as a catch crop where Winter grain has 
failed. (Bushel, 56 lbs.) 
Rye, Winter. Grown for hay by dairymen, but 
principally for grain, is also sown extensively with 
vetch, the combination makes an excellent fodder. 
There is such a heavy demand for wheat to send 
abroad. Rye should be grown extensively to help 
out the supply of flour. (Bushel, 56 lbs.) 
Rye and Vetch Mixture. We list this as a result 
of experiments spread over a number of years. 
After the last cultivation we have sown among our 
crops a mixture of Rye and Vetch for a Winter 
covering and to plow under in Spring, and it has 
proven an entirely satisfactory crop, preventing 
the land from washing, and greatly improving and 
enriching the soil. Sow any time between August 
Rye, Winter.
