Seed Treatment Pays 
Columbia — An oat developed by the 
Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station 
as a selection from Fulghum. It is stiff 
strawed and is classed as an early oat. A 
high yielder in Central and South Central 
Illinois. Our seed is certified by the Illinois 
Crop Improvement Association. 
lowar —Originated from Kherson in 1910 
at Ames, Iowa. Similar to Iowa 103, but its 
straw is a little coarser and taller. A high 
yielder. Certified Seed Is Available. 
Gopher — A selection from Sixty-day, 
made and developed by the Minnesota 
Agricultural Experiment Station. A good 
variety for Central and Northern Illinois. 
Famous for its stiff straw. 
Rustless 444 — A rust resistant selection 
made at Ames, Iowa. Judged to be about 
85% resistant to rust. Very stiff straw. 
About same maturity as lowar. 
Spring Wheat — Progress — The best va¬ 
riety for Northern and Central Illinois. A 
higher yielder than Marquis. Rapidly re¬ 
placing Illinois No. 1 Seed stocks limited. 
Rosen Rye — Seed in early spring for 
pasture. Rosen is winter rye and will not 
make grain when spring seeded, but will 
make excellent forage. Timothy or Rye 
Grass seeded with it will greatly extend , 
the grazing period. A good place to seed - 
pasture mixture.

SOYBEANS 
Use Inoculation 
Twenty-five years ago only a few hun¬ 
dred acres of soybeans were being grownl 
Now there are several million acres grown 
each year for hay and grain. They are a 
profitable cash crop; a valuable nutritious 
legume hay; they grow on sour soil; they 
are drought resistant; they have few insect 
pests;—in short, they have proved their 
usefulness and are here to stay. 
Soybeans have been called soil robbers. 
If properly inoculated, this is far from true. 
When harvested for grain, the straw left 
on the land, soybeans add nitrogen to the 
soil. See table on page 23.

SOYBEAN HAY MIXTURE 
This mixture of Ebony, Wilson, Virginia 
and early maturing yellow varieties has a 
twenty year record of satisfactory perform¬ 
ance as an abundant haymaker — often 
four tons or more per acre. 
Hay is of excellent quality. Early yellow 
varieties have a few small beans in pod 
while late maturing hay varieties furnish 
high quality roughage. Early yellow va¬ 
rieties also help to prevent lodging and aid 
In curing the hay. 
Drill two bushels per acre in May after 
ground is good and warm. No other crop 
will make such a tremendous tonnage of 
prime quality legume hay the same season 
it is seeded. 
Mr. E. D. Funk in the feed lot. As this goes to press, there are over 1,200 head of cattle on Mr. Funk's 
own farm and several thousand head on other Funk Farms. Funk Soybean Oil Meal, Funk Minrol-Soy 
and Funk Hybrid Corn are fed to the livestock on the Funk Farms with profitable results.
