SOY BEANS 
CAYUGA: 100 days. A new soy bean introduced by 
the N. Y. State College of Agriculture and the only 
variety we can recommend for grain production in 
this state. Cayuga has an upright habit of growth 
with few branches, to 3 ft. high. The stiff stalk 
bears a profusion of pods containing two or three 
small black beans. 
We have found that under our conditions the most 
economical way to grow Cayuga Soy Beans is to drill 
them about June 10th on a clean piece of ground us¬ 
ing all the runs in the grain drill and seeding at the 
rate of IJ^ bu. per acre. If weeds are a problem 
when the bean plants are 3 to 4 inches high a weeder 
or spike tooth drag should be used. When ripe they 
can be cut with a Combine or grain binder and 
threshed. 
Cayugas do not shell from ordinary handling and 
will yield from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. They con¬ 
tain 37 percent protein and 17 percent fat. Ground 
with home grown grain they make an ideal high pro¬ 
tein dairy feed. Certified Seed yi bu. $1.50; 1 to 4 
bu. $2.40; 4 bu. or more $2.25 per bu. Nor pre¬ 
paid. 
MANCHU: 110 days. A tall, late, stiff strawed va¬ 
riety that is suitable for hay or green manure. It is 
also adapted to planting with corn for silage. We 
believe that with the shortage of clover seed, soy 
beans will be used extensively for hay. We do not 
feel that Manchu is suitable for grain in the North 
Eastern States as it requires too long a season to 
mature. % bu. $1.25; 1 to 4 bu. $2.25; 4 bu. or 
more $2.10. Not prepaid.

SEMESAN Jr. New Improved. A new less expensive 
form for the dry dust disinfection of both field and 
sweet corn seeds. 
Its use protects the seed from rotting in the ground 
and makes possible earlier planting which generally 
results in higher prices and increased yields. The cost 
is so little that we believe growers cannot afford to 
plant corn that has not been treated. 2 oz. treats 
1 bu. seed. 4 oz. 30 cts.; 1 lb. 75 cts.; transporta¬ 
tion paid. Not paid: 5 lbs. $3.25. 
New Improved CERESAN 
New Improved Ceresan generally controls 
covered smut, black loose smut and stripe of bar¬ 
ley; and loose and covered smuts of oats. 
One-Half Ounce Treats a Bushel 
Only one-half ounce of New Improved Ceresan 
is needed to treat a bushel of seed. New Im¬ 
proved Ceresan is quickly and easily applied as a 
dust by means of a rotary seed treater or by the 
shovel method. After treating, the seed should 
be stored in a pile or sacks for 24 hours before
