The Dryland Wonder Crain! 
The Beat Catch Crop For the Northwes<t—Matures In 60 Days 
Can Be Planted Later And Will Stand More Dry Weather Than Any Other Grain 
Hansen Proso was introduced from Siberia by Prof. N. E. Hansen. It has been selected 
for larjrest white kernels, and greatest productiveness. 
Because of its extreme drouth resistance, Hansen Proso is extremely valuable as a 
catch crop, for it will mature in 60 days and may be sown after' other crops lare planted 
or after they show signs of failure. Though it does best when planted in June, it may be 
sown late in July and still mature a good crop of grain- Often yielda 300 to 500 fold of 
good clean gnain, weighing 60 to 64 pounds per bushel. 
The seed is round and several times the size of millet, growing in at sprapgley head, 
resembling oats. Hansen Pioso is valuable when fed whole or ground, as a fattening grain 
for hogs or a good general feed for cattle, horses, and chickens. Chickens prefer it to 
corn or wheat. The U. S. I>ept. of Agric. in their “Prt)so Bulletin” give mapy valuable 
statistics in this regard. 
Proso straw, which usually remains somewhat green even though the grain is ripe, 
makes a good hay for winter feeding. When hulled and ground, Proso grain may be u^ed 
as a breakfast cereal, similar to wheat or rice, and as a flour. 
This year we have some new advanced selections to offer of the grain grown from the 
larger and better kernels of whitest color, and they should not be confused with the common 
run quality offered on the market.

CRESTED WHEAT CRASS 
Crested Wheat is fast becoming the leading forage 
grass in dry areas thruout our central and northwest 
States for it will establish a permanent pasture for 
good forage in our driest seasons. 
SCv.'- offered here is from the original strain first 
imported into America by Prof. N. E. Hansen, of 
South Dakota State College, and is from a farther 
north and drier region than some of the later 
importations.

A New Forage Crass That Defies Drouth 
Introduced by Prox. N. E. Hansen of South Dakota State college, 
from one of the driest spots of Siberia. 
The leaves are quite wide, somewhat resembling a marsh hay. It 
will grow to a height of 8 to 10 feet in a season with even less than 
8 inches annual rainfall on an almost pure alkali soil. Something 
in its nature rtiakes it like what we might consider a poor type of 
soil, though this does not in any way effect its feed value or growth 
on good soil. On ordinary soil it grows with equal vigor though not 
quite as tall but more bushy. It makes excellent hay if cut two or 
three times, though it gets rather tough if left uncut all season. 
It may be pastured, but will produce more forage if grown and 
cut for hay. It is perennial, and will last for years after once being 
started. It is established best by the plant method as root stolons 
soon make a solid field of it, though it is readily plowed under when 
the field is to be put into other crops. 
We offer plants only, as the seed is very light and does not ger¬ 
minate well. We recommend .setting the plants about 6 to 12 inches 
apart and in rows 12 inches to 3 feet apart. With one year’s cxiltivat- 
ing like corn, the result will be a much greater growth the following 
season, soon making a solid field.
