Two of The World's Greatest Farm Crops 8 
1305 Condon's 
Silo King 
The Greatest Ensilage 
Corn Ever Grown 
40 Tons Per Acre Common Yield— 
70 Tons Have Actually Been 
Produced 
A fine strain of ensilage 
corn, selected by ourselves, 
which has proved to be one of 
the most valuable and largest 
yielding ensilage corns in cul¬ 
tivation. It grows very tall, at¬ 
taining a height of 16 to 20 
feet; is prolific in its nature, 
having from two to six ears to 
the stalk, makes a heavy thick 
growth of fodder, and is alto¬ 
gether, in our opinion and in 
the opinion of those who have 
tested it, the best and most 
productive of ensilage corns.

Gentlemen: Please send one and one-half bushels Condon’s “Silo King” 
Seed Corn. We have used this corn the past two years with very good 
results. We find it an exceptionally good ensilage crop as it grows tall 
and large and produces large ears. Last year we put up 165 tons silage 
from seven acres, while before this we always used 15 to 20 acres and 
even then we have failed to fill the silos. 
CRYSTAL SPRINGS DAIRY, C. L. Burch, Neosho, Missouri. 
I cannot help but write you regarding my silage which was produced from 
your Silo King Corn. It is simply marvelous. The extra large ears and 
leafy stalks made the most wonderful silage I have ever grown. I will buy 
your Silo King Corn every year. Stalks grew very tall producing better 
than 40 tons per acre and the most wonderful silage one could wish for. 
This certainly is a big profitable cropper and I will recommend it to my 
neighbors. OSCAR A. NOREEN, Reed City, Mich.

1402 mini Soy Beans (105 Day Bean) 
Illini was developed at the Illinois Experiment 
Station. It has been constantly increasing in 
popularity. It seems to grow a little taller than 
Manchu, giving a heavier yield while in season it 
is a few days earlier. Just as desirable in every 
other way and we would say better for hay in 
Northern Illinois, Michigan or Wisconsin. Post¬

First. They yield large amounts of high protein forage, rich in feeding value. They not only 
make splendid hay, but are wonderful for silage grown with corn. 
Second. They contain as much fertility per acre as eight loads of stable manure. 
Third. The mature beans ground into meal make wonderfully high protein dairy feed. 
Fourth. Soy Beans are more resistant to frost than corn and they also stand hot weather. 
Fifth. They are adapted to all soils and especially valuable on soils too poor for other legumes. 
Sixth. They are the only legume crop that will grow on acid soils and build up the land. 
Seventh. They make a wonderful emergency crop when clover fails or when other crops are 
washed out or fail for any reason, as they can be put in late. 
CULTURE. If planted with corn 3 beans in each hill of corn is about right and this requires 3 
to 5 pounds per acre. If planted alone, for hay or seed, in rows with corn planter or drill, a half 
bushel or a bushel of seed per acre may be profitably used, the beans about one inch apart in the 
row. Rowing and cultivating, however, is not necessary. Thousands of farmers now are planting 
in solid drill, using a harrow and caring for large fields at small expense. Do not plant too early. 
Never before corn planting time. Always inoculate the seed before planting. See page 80. 
1403 Manchu Soy Beans (HO Day Bean) 
This is by far the most popular Soy Bean in the 
middle west. It is a medium early variety, and it 
matures dry beans in about 110 days. The Man¬ 
chu is almost unanimously considered to be the 
best of all Soy Beans for any purpose until the 
introduction of Illini. Seeds are yellow with a 
peculiar black seed scar. We recommend this 
variety for hay and silage, and as being one ot 
the best to plant with corn for silage. Postpaid,
