OLDS* soy BEANS 
(Sow 120 pounds to an acre.) 
„ t . ,, WHY GROW SOY BEANS? 
First. They yield large amounts of high protein forage, rich in feeding value. 
They not only make splendid hay, but are wonderful for silage, grown with corn. 
mv. C - 0 !j * mi ^ ,v contain as much fertility per acre as eight loads of stable manure. 
Third. The mature beans ground into meal make wonderful high protein dairy feed. 
Fourth. Soy beans are more resistant to frost than corn and they also stand 
hot weather. 
Fifth. They are adapted to nearly all soils and are especially valuable on sandy 
soils. 
Sixth. They are the only legume crop that will grow on acid soils and build 
up the land. 
Seventh. They make a wonderful emergency crop when clover fails or when 
other crops are washed out or fail for any reason, as they can be put in late. 
„ MANCHU SOY BEANS. 
Manchu is the best known and most popular variety of Soy Beans in Wisconsin 
as well as in most other central west states. It is medium early in season, early 
enough to fully mature dry beans under ordinary conditions in southern Wisconsin 
and northern Illinois and large enough to be of real value. The dry beans mature 
in about 100 days. 
Prices, by freight: V 2 pk., 40c; pk., 65c; bu. (60 lbs.), $2.30; 100 lbs., $3.75; 
500 lbs. or over at $3.70. Sacks free. 
ILLINI SOY BEANS. 
Illini was developed at the Illinois Experiment Station from the old A. K. We 
sell nearly as many Illini as Manchu. It seems to grow a little taller than Manchu, 
giving a heavier yield while in season it is hardly any later. Some think it is even 
earlier. Just as desirable in every other way and we would say better for hay in 
Wisconsin than Manchu. Our stocks are very fine of both varieties. 
Prices, by freight: y 2 pk., 35c; pk., 60c; bu., $2.25; 100 lbs., $3.70; 500 lbs. 
or over at $3.65. 
Use Nitragin or Nodogen on this Crop. 
OLDS* SUDAN GRASS 
(Sow 35 pounds to an acre.) 
Sudan Grass is proving a mighty valuable crop 
for Wisconsin. Last year many fields were planted 
with Sudan Grass as an emergency hay crop and it 
proved very satisfactory. No crop quite equals 
Sudan Grass for a late pasture and hay crop. 
Here are five reasons why Sudan Grass is of such 
great value: 
First—Yield. It makes a heavy yield of hay, 
outranking all the millets in yield per acre. Yields 
of two to four tons of cured hay per acre from 
one cutting are common in Wisconsin. Two cuttings 
a season can often be made. 
Second—Quality. It makes a better quality hay 
than millet. It makes wonderful hay grown with 
soy beans and helps to cure them. 
Third—Late Sowing. It can be sown late, after 
you are through with your corn, or when corn 
fails. Sow any time from May 20 th to June 20th, 
or even a little later. Do not sow too early. It is 
strictly a warm weather crop and if put in too 
early the seed will rot. Sow not less than 35 pounds 
of seed per acre and a drill is better than a seeder 
for putting it in. 
Fourth—Drought Resistant. It withstands long 
periods of drought continuing to grow when most 
everything else is dried up. 
Fifth—Quack Killer. It is valuable as a smother 
crop, especially for quack and Canada thistle. 
In addition to all the above five good qualities 
and most important of all Sudan Grass can be pas¬ 
tured. After the hay crop is taken off it makes a 
fine late pasture as it grows up again quickly. Or, 
it can be pastured all the season instead of being 
cut for hay. It is also great for late pasture. Sown 
the last of May or first of June it is ready the 
middle of July when the blue grass pasture is 
dried up. 
We recommend Sudan Grass most highly. It grows 
quickly, produces enormously and is an easy crop 
to handle. It is strictly an annual, dying at the 
end of the season. 
Prices, by freight: 5 lbs., 45c; 10 lbs., 75c; 100 
lbs., $5.75; 500 lbs. or over at $5.50 per 100 lbs. 
Sacks included. 
OLDS* MILLET 
GERMAN MILLET. 
Most popular of all the millets. A tall growing 
variety with large stout stems, leaves broad and 
stiff. Seed of a yellow or golden color. For seed 
sow at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds and for hay 
sow about 30 to 40 pounds per acre. Millet may 
be sown from May 15th to July 1st. 
Prices, by freight: 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 80c; 100 
lbs., $6.00; 500 lbs. at $5.75. 
JAPANESE MILLET (Billion Dollar Grass). 
A very large millet adapted to all sections. Spe¬ 
cially fine for low ground. Makes more hay than 
German Millet and requires less seed per acre. Sow 
in May or June, 20 to 25 pounds per acre. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 60c; 100 lbs., $4.25; 
500 lbs. or over at $4.00. 
COMMON MILLET. 
A little earlier in season than German Millet. 
Leaves are rather broad and not as stiff as German, 
and seed heads are smaller. Seed is white instead 
of yellow. Some farmers prefer it to German. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 45c; 10 lbs., 75c; 100 lbs., $5.75; 
500 lbs. at $5.50. 
A Planting of Soy Beans for Hay. 
HOW TO PUT IN SOY BEANS. 
While Soy Beans in Wisconsin are mostly put in for a hay 
crop, many farmers are planting with corn for silage. Mix 
the beans with the corn, planting both at the same time, using 
fully as many beans as kernels of corn or, better yet, as many 
pounds of beans as there are pounds of corn. Where the beans 
are sown alone by drill or seeder, which is the way they are 
largely put in, use two bushels of seed per acre but then 
even a little more than that is better. On old soils rowing 
and cultivating will make friends for the crop, putting in 
either with corn planter or with drill with part of the spouts 
closed. Handled this way there will be a great saving in the 
cost of the seed as one bushel per acre is enough instead of 
two bushels. On new soils the solid planting is all right but 
on old soils weeds are apt to bother. 
Do not plant too early. Never before corn planting time, 
or even later. Often as late as June 20th is all right. Shallow 
covering is best and above all, inoculate the seed before plant¬ 
ing. 
THE BEST MILLET. 
White Wonder is the best of all the 
millets in our judgment. 
First. It produces more tons of hay 
per acre than any other millet. 
Second. In spite of _ the very large 
growth the foliage is thick, with numer¬ 
ous broad leaves so that it furnishes a high 
grade of millet hay. 
Third. White Wonder is earlier than 
either German or Common Millet and is 
well adapted to the North. 
Fourth. It outyields any other millet 
as a seed crop. C. L. Newhouse, of Rock 
County, Wisconsin, threshed 75 bushels 
per acre. 
Our stock is very fine—clean, plump and 
bright. 
Prices, by freight: 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 
80c; 100 lbs., $6.00; 500 lbs. at $5.75. 
(One pound, any variety of millet, by 
mail, 20c; 3 lbs., 40c. 
PROSO OR HOG MILLET. 
Makes inferior hay, unless cut very young, but yields 
enormous quantities of large, plump seed, vei-y valuable for 
poultry. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 40C; 10 lbs., 60c; 100 lbs., $4.25; 500 lbs. 
at $4.00.
