We Are Practical Farmers and Have Some Ideas As What Is Best to Sow 
COW PEAS 
We are near one of the largest producing sec¬ 
tions for cow peas, the western part of Mason 
County along the Illinois River where tens 
of thousands bushels of peas were produced this 
year. Cow Peas thrive on sandy soil where most 
other crops do but little. Wheat following a crop 
of cow peas often makes exceptionally good 
yields for poor sandy soils. The quality and yield 
SEEP 
Our seed oats are all very fine quality this 
year, bright, well cleaned, plump with high ger¬ 
mination. Most of them being thrashed without 
of peas was good this year. We are unable to 
quote on any straight varieties as there are very 
few straight'peas of any kind grown in this sec¬ 
tion, many farmers claiming they do better 
where they grow mixed varieties than pure sin¬ 
gle varieties. Approximate price, subject to mar¬ 
ket change $1.50 per bushel. See price list for 
latest quotation. 
OATS 
a drop of rain. Weight 3 2 to 3 7 pounds per 
bushel. Bagged in heavy burlap bags holding 
four bushel for which we charge 10c each. 
Thrashing on one of the Kelly farms. We own 
our own thrashing machine and have enough 
men without having to hire extras for thrash¬ 
ing. We only thrash our own grain, so do not get 
it mixed with other varieties. 
Wisconsin State Pride No. 7 Certified 
This we consider out best oat. What we are offering is our own 
growing. Certified by the Illinois Crop Improvement Association, 
showing a crop purity of 99.50, produces a goodly amount of straw 
which is a very stiff straw, stands up well and on account of the 
hard straw is affected less by chinch bugs than any oats we have. 
Medium early maturing, usually around the 15th of July. We 
bought the seed of these oats four years ago direct from the Wis¬ 
consin Agricultural College. For best results sow 2 y 2 bushels per 
acre. Price, small lots, 55c per I>u.; 25 to 100 bu., 50c per bu., all 
subject to market change. 
Columbia Certified Oats 
An oat which has proven to be one of the best. A very high yield¬ 
ing oat which stands up well, matures early, usually about July 8, 
ahead of the dry hot weather which so often ruins oats. We do not 
offer any late varieties of oats as we think you make a mistake 
by sowing late oats, especially where there is any danger of chinch 
bugs. They are also often ruined by hot weather, and if there' are 
any chinch bugs (and looks as though there will be plenty in 1938) 
they go from wheat into these late oats and often ruin them be¬ 
fore they are ripe. Price, small lots, 55c per bu.; 25 to 100 bu., 50c. 
Bags holding four bushel charged at 15c each. 
KANOTA. Very large grain oats. Best for mill or feed purposes, 
often weighing 40 lbs. per bushel. This oat, like spring wheat in 
one respect, must be seeded early in order to produce a good crop. 
Produces medium heavy straw as well as high yielder of grain. 
Small lots, 50c; 25 to 100 bu., 45c. 
GOPHER. One of the highest yielding of all varieties. Medium 
early maturing. Medium straw which is very stiff. Stands up 
when other oats go flat. One of the best varieties to grow. Price, 
small lots, 50c bu.; 25 bu. or more, 45c bu. A white oat. 
IOWAR. A good variety of white oats. Stands up well. Pro¬ 
duces a fair amount of straw. Usually ripens in this section about 
the 7th of July. Price, small lots, 50c bu.; 25 bu. or more, 45c bu. 
Bagged four bushels to a bag for which we charge 10 cents each. 
Wisconsin State Pride No. 7 
Grown by Kelly Seed Co. 5 loot high 
and notice how they stand up. 
HOLLAND DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Holland grown black Dwarf Essex Rape is by 
far the best to sow. While we import both from 
Holland and Japan we bought 90% of our supply 
from Holland this year, early in the season at har¬ 
vest time at a price but little more then the price 
of the Japanese grown seed. Holland Rape has a 
broad leaf and makes a much heavier growth than 
the Japanese. Few farmers realize that rape seed 
has almost the same proportion of food value as 
alfalfa. 
HULKWHEAT 
60 days. Chinch bugs will not bother buckwheat 
which is almost a sure crop. Yields 20 to 35 bu. per 
acre, usually sells for about the same price as 
wheat. Seed buckwheat is very low in price this 
year on account of large crop being produced in 
our section. 
SILVER HULL. Best variety. Has a grain of 
silver color hull. Earliest and best producer. Price, 
small lots, $1.30; 25 to 100 bu., $1.25. 
JAPANESE. A larger berry, black color hull. 
Some late maturing. Price, small lots, $1.25; 25 to 
10O bushels, $1.20. 
The last two years we have sold a lot of Buck¬ 
wheat for seed which has proven to be a good 
emergency crop. Buckwheat can be seeded the lat¬ 
est of any crop and still mature, making a crop in 
MIXED BUCKWHEAT. Very hard to get pure 
seed but there is not much difference in the yield 
and price. Price, small lots, $1.20; 25 to 100 bushels, 
$1.25.
