For Greater Profit Inoculate Legumes 
DOLLARS FOR CENTS — A GOOD SWAP 
Experiment station results indicate that inoculated Sweet Clover 
adds nitrogen to the soil in amounts that would cost $12 to $18 per acre. 
What a profit for a few cents per acre invested in inoculation! 
Alfalfa—Sweet Clover — Red Clover — Lespedeza — Soybeans, in 
fact, any inoculated legume is working for you by taking nitrogen from 
the air and changing it into a form the plants can use. It only costs 
a few cents per acre to put all your legume plants to work for you. 
Without inoculation legumes are "soil robbers." Be sure all legume 
seed you use is inoculated. Reap a richer harvest.

SOYBEAN HAY — LARGE TONNAGE — HIGH FEEDING VALUE 
FUNKS SOYBEAN HAY MIXTURE 
The only crop you can seed in the spring for high quality legume 
hay the same season. NOT INJURED BY CHINCH BUGS. Will grow 
on soil that needs limestone. We have seen our Soybean Hay Mix¬ 
ture make up to four tons of fine quality hay per acre. 
This mixture is a blend of Wilson, Ebony, Virginia, and sufficient 
early maturing yellow varieties to make a good balance of roughage 
and small beans in the pod. Early varieties also help prevent lodg¬ 
ing. Drill about two bushels per acre. 
Excellent Stand of Red Clover. Wonderful Prospect for Forage 
and Better Crops to Follow. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
RED CLOVER 
We purchased our red clover seed early and selected the bright, 
plump, choice quality lots. In addition we recleaned it over our 
special machines the same as the seed we use on the Funk Farms. 
High purity, good germination and freedom from noxious weeds — 
that's the story. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
Also called Big English and Sapling Clover. Similar to Red in its 
habits of growth but a better soil builder because it makes a heavier 
growth. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
Our alsike is rich colored pure seed of good germination. Instead 
of considering seed cost on the bushel basis figure it on the basis of 
the area seeded. Alsike seed is small and goes a long way. 
Alsike fits in where other legumes fail. It survives on more acid 
soil and is good for poorly drained areas. Fits into pasture mixtures. 
SEED GRAIN 
Treat all seed oats with New Improved Ceresan to control smut. 
Only 1/2 ounce per bushel is required. Easily and quickly applied. 
COLUMBIA — A .n oat developed by the Missouri Agricultural Ex¬ 
periment Station as a selection from Fulghum. It is stiff strawed and 
is classed as an early oat. A high yielder in Central and South Cen¬ 
tral Illinois. Our seed is certified by the Illinois Crop Improvement 
Association. 
GOPHER — A selection from Sixty-Day, made and developed by the 
Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. A good variety for Cen¬ 
tral and Northern Illinois. Famous for its stiff straw. 
IOWAR — Originated from Kherson in 1910 at Ames, Iowa. Similar to 
Iowa 103, but its straw is a little coarser and taller. A high yielder. 
SPRING WHEAT —-Illinois No. 1 is the best variety for Central Illinois. 
Yields more than Marquis. Seed stocks are limited. Order early. 
ROSEN RYE — Pasture in spring without delay. Spring seeded Rosen 
Rye will not make a grain crop but will make early pasture. By seed¬ 
ing Timothy or perennial Rye Grass grazing period will be extended. 
A good place to seed pasture mixture. 
Use Dodder Free Seed 
A legume that will grow on acid soil. Good to stop erosion. This 
annual legume makes excellent nutritious pasture. Under favorable 
conditions (not too far north) it will make seed crop or reseed itself. 
Seed 20-25 Lbs. per acre in spring. 
SWEET CLOVER 
White Blossom—Grundy County—Yellow Blossom 
These clovers require a sweet soil. A little time spent testing 
soil may save many dollars worth of seed and acres of barren weedy 
land. 
On sweet soil we think of no better crop to build up the fertility. 
Also makes abundant pasture the first fall and the spring of the 
second year. 
HUBAM (Annual Sweet Clover) 
This is an annual sweet clover. It makes seed the first fall after 
it is sown. A good green manure crop to plow under the same season 
it is seeded. A good bet for "soil conservation."
