SPRING GRAINS Northern-Grown . . . Good Cropping Strains 
SPRING WHEAT 
Makes good flour. Mostly sown in higher 
portions of Pennsylvania and in states north. 
"Marquis” variety—early and not often sub¬ 
ject to rust and disease. Grain is smaller 
than winter wheat. Clean, hardy seed. 
SPRING RYE 
Sown to produce grain, also for spring 
pastures and soiling purposes—and for 
nurse crops. Should be sown early, same as 
oats. Spring Rye is not as plump as Winter 
Rye. Doesn’t grow as tall. 
SPELTZ 
Adapted to a wide range of soil and 
climate. Eaten by cows—horses—cattle— 
hogs. Often mixed with bran shorts. 
Resists drought. Ripens early. Does not 
rust or smut like other grains. Not readily 
damaged by rains. Grows on poor land. 
Sow two bushels per acre—handle like oats. 
BUCKWHEAT SEED 
Valuable on farms where soil is thin or 
where other crops have failed. 
May be seeded all of June and early July. 
Sow one bushel per acre. 
Buckwheat middlings have high protein 
content and are valuable for dairy feed. 
Likewise, the grain is important as a poultry 
feed. Buckwheat blossoms are fine for bees. 
lapaaew Beetles 
F©f Japanese beetle grubs in 
you? lawn or turf, use 10 lbs. 
iriioat® of lead per 1,000 
square feet. Apply preferably 
in August. The grubs hatch in 
September. Mix the arsenate 
of lead with 75 lbs. sand for 
better distribution. 
“I planted only 6 rows of 
your Hybrid in the middle 
of the field, alternating two 
rows Hybrid with Reid’s Yel¬ 
low Dent. My opinion of 
this Hybrid Corn is: 1. Hy¬ 
brid came up about a day 
ahead of Reid; 2. Hybrid 
was most resistant to wind 
storm; 3. Hybrid stood a 
hard storm (practically a 
hurricane) the latter part of 
July much better; 4. Hybrid 
outyielded 13 to 18 bush¬ 
els per acre .”—Byron P.
