Flax 
X-L BISON 
This variety has proven to be the most popular for several 
reasons. It is both wilt and rust resistant, large seeded and 
heavy yielding; very tall and bushy. Produces sturdy plants 
with stiff, strong, and generous root system. Able to with¬ 
stand adverse weather conditions as well as attacks of 
Insects. 
Soybean 
^ Valuable for silage, hay, "hog- 
g ging off,” and as soil improver. Re- 
M quire about the same treatment as 
B corn and will grow on almost any 
Bkind of soil. DO NOT PLANT SOY¬ 
BEAN TOO EARLY. About corn planting time is right. For 
hay it is valuable as an emergency crop where clover has 
been winter-killed. Equal to clover in feeding value. Soy¬ 
beans may be planted in rows 30, 36 and 42 inches apart 
and cultivated, using about 40 lbs. per acre. For hay plant 
in 12-inch rows, using a grain drill and plugging up every 
other drill. Use 60 to 90 lbs. per acre. 
X-L MANCHU 
This variety takes the lead among soybeans for the middle 
west. It is outstanding for all purposes. Will fully mature 
under ordinary conditions and grows large enough to 
produce excellent yields of hay or a large crop of beans. An 
average crop will produce 20 to 25 bushels of beans per 
acre. 
Early Amber Cane 
It is the earliest strain grown. Very hardy and of fine 
quality. Early Amber Cane and fodder com are often planted 
together and produce immense yields. We offer an improved 
strain which has been carefully bred for size, sugar content, 
and palatability. For fodder sow 50 ot 60 lbs. broadcast, 
or 15 to 20 lbs. in drills. A few acres will insure a good 
roughage that will help milk production. May be put in pit 
silos. 
Field Beans 
X-L GREAT NORTHERN 
This variety is especially adapted 
to Montana soil and climate condi¬ 
tions. Beans may be matured for 
feed or resale purposes, and the 
vines make excellent fodder. Sow 16 to 24 lbs. per acre. 
Field Peas 
X-L CANADIAN FIELD PEAS 
Sow 60 to 75 lbs. per acre in drills; 100 to 120 lbs. broad¬ 
cast. Few farmers know the value of field peas as a hay 
crop and fertilizer. They fit into crop rotation well and are 
better suited to conditions of the Northwest than any other 
annual legume for building up worn out soils. Field peas 
contains more digestible protein and fat than alfalfa and 
corn. A good pasture and hay mixture is 50 lbs. field peas 
and 50 lbs. oats. 
Bape 
Sow 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills; 5 lbs. broadcast. For 
quick pasture nothing equals Rape. Provides excellent 
pasture for all kinds of livestock, cattle, hogs, and sheep. 
Can be sown at any time during spring or summer so a 
good pasture can be had whenever it is needed. Rape will 
prepare sheep and hogs for market better and in less time 
than any other forage plant. It is a mild succulent feed for 
cattle and will not flavor the milk after cattle are pastured 
properly. 
ADVANTAGES IN USING RAPE 
1. Grows wherever corn or turnips grow. 
2. Provides pasture in six to eight weeks time. 
3. The best forage plant for dry seasons because of its 
strong tap root system. 
4. Plant alone or with grain, Soybeans, Sudan Grass, or 
Cane. 
5. Adds humus matter to the soil when plowed under. 
6 . Its cheapness Sow 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian 
The production of Sunflower for ensilage and fodder is 
now advocated by many experiment stations. This is fairly 
profitable where the seasons are too short to grow other 
forage plants, sorghums, etc 
We do recommend Sunflower as a highly important and 
profitable crop for poultry breeders and farmers, for fatten¬ 
ing hens or producing eggs. Single flower heads measure 
12 to 22 inches across, containing a large quantity of seed. 
DOES YOUR SOIL NEED PHOSPHATE? 
Most Montana soils do need phosphate. A soil survey 
reported in Bulletin No. 259 of the Montana State College 
Experiment Station shows 60.9 percent of Montana soils to 
be definitely deficient in AVAILABLE phosphate. In 1933 
over 3,000 tons of Anaconda Phosphate was used by Mon¬ 
tand farmers. Profitable cropping cannot be maintained 
over a period of years without replacing the plant-foods in 
the soil. 
Try Anaconda Phosphate on your fields this year and 
SEE THE DIFFERENCE for yourself on your own fields. 
For All Crops—Alfalfa, Grain, Orchards, Potatoes and 
all truck crops. 
TREBLE SUPERPHOSPHATE 
Forty-five per cent available. Use at the rate of one bag 
or 125 lbs. per acre broadcasting or with a fertilizer at- 
tachrhent on the drill. Per 125 lb. bag, $3.25. 
Not sold in less than bag lots. Write for prices in larger 
lots, also free booklet.
