Another dry year has just passed, and 
again we have seen the great value of 
Sudan Grass. While driving through the 
country last fall, a field of green Sudan

Sudan Grass is unquestionably the 
best forage crop that can be raised in the 
North. It should be cut when about 
3 feet high. Handled this way you will 
always get two cuttings a year and 
generally three, yielding from 4 to 6 tons 
of dry hay per acre. Even if left to grow 
8 or 9 feet high the stalks will seldom be 
any thicker than a lead pencil. The 
greatest value of Sudan is in green pas- 
the burned up pastures was a sight that 
should make every stock raiser resolve 
to plant Sudan Grass every year as a 
safeguard against a feed shortage caused 
by hot, dry weather.

pastures are poor and the milk flow is 
low. 
Sudan Grass should not be planted 
until the ground has warmed up thor¬ 
oughly after corn planting season. Plant 
25 pounds per acre.

Be Sure to Inoculate All Soy Bean Seed 
With Nitragin Before Planting. 
Soy Beans Are the Only Legume Crop 
That Will Thrive on Acid Soil. 
Every year the farmers of the Northwest plant more Soy Beans. Some of 
these are planted for hay, some for a grain or seed crop, and the returns from 
the acreage planted to Soy Beans, have been equal to that from other farm 
crops. Besides this immediate cash return, you will receive dividends for 
■several years in the form of better crops on the land that has been in Soy 
. Beans. They are one of the best nitrogen gatherers of any of the Legumes, 
and being an annual work into any system of crop rotation. 
Soy Beans grown with corn make the finest quality ensilage. 
We recommend planting Soy Beans in rows with a corn planter and 
cultivating. Plant seed about one and one-half inches deep, at the rate of 
40 to 50 pounds per acre. 
Soy Beans can be planted as late as June 15th, and even if they do not 
get ripe, you will get a good crop of hay, equal to alfalfa in feeding value. 
• MUKDEN SOY BEANS 
«ILLINI SOY BEANS 
This variety is earlier than either Manchu or Illini, maturing seed in 
about 100 days. The stout, bushy plants grow about 36 inches tall 
, and are literally covered with pods. It does not 
’ shatter as eaisly as other varieties and you do 
not lose so many beans when threshing. Yields 
about as much as the later varieties and on ac¬ 
count of its short growing season should be 
planted in the Northern part of the Soy Bean 
territory. 1 lb. 15c; 10 lbs. 60c; 25 lbs., $1.15; 
60 lbs. (1 bu.), $2.25; 100 lbs., $3.60; 500 lbs., 
$17.50. 
9 MANCHU SOY BEANS 
Manchu is the best known and most popular 
variety of soy beans in the Northwest. It is 
medium early in season, early enough to fully 
.mature dry beans under ordinary conditions and 
large enough to be of real value. The dry beans 
mature in about 105 days. Iovva farmers report as 
high as 38 bu. per acre yield. They can be cut 
with a grain binder and threshed with an 
ordinary threshing machine by reducing the 
speed of the cylinder to one-half and taking out 
part of the concave. Broadcast 80 to 90 pounds 
to the acre and drill 40 to 50 pounds. 1 lb., 15c; 
10 lbs., 60c; 25 lbs., $1.05; 60 lbs.,(l bu.) $1.95; 
100 lbs., $3.25; 500 lbs., $15.75.

Grounds at Yankton 
This variety was developed at the Illinois Experiment Station. It 
grows a little taller than Manchu (about 40 inches) giving a heavier yield 
and is nearly as early, maturing a seed crop in 
about 110 days. 
Soy beans as a hay crop are higher in protein 
content than alfalfa hay or field peas. An ex¬ 
cellent hay for dairy cattle. 
1 lb., 15c; 10 lbs., 60c; 25 lbs., $1.05; 60 lbs., 
(1 bu.) $1.95; 100 lbs., $3.25; 500 lbs., $15.75.

Gentlemen: 
We got one bushel of Cossack Alfalfa last 
spring, and this was the hottest and driest 
summer Wisconsin has ever known, and our 
stand of alfalfa could not have been better 
than it was this fall—just a perfect field of 
alfalfa. Other kinds around here are patchy 
looking. 
Very sincerely,
