FIELD SEEDS 
MILLETS 
VETCH 
Japanese Barnyard Millet. This millet is exceedingly palatable 
and is the best of summer green feeds for the cool coast sec¬ 
tions. Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
German or Golden (Chactochloa italica). Will grow on any 
good land and yields heavily when irrigated. Yields from 30 
to 40 bushels of seed per acre, and is excellent food for stock 
and poultry. Also a good green fodder and hay plant. 
Hog or Puoso. The seed is large. Feeding value almost equal 
to corn. The name “hog millet” is used to emphasize the use 
for which it is intended. It is a valuable feed for hogs and 
cattle as well as for birds and poultry. Both German and Hog 
millet are often used as catch crops where other crops fail in 
irrigated or humid sections. 
OATS 
Sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre. 
Victory. This oat originated a number of years ago in Sweden, 
and since its introduction in this country has become more 
popular each year. It is similar to Swedish Select in season. 
Grain of medium size, short, plump, white, thin hull, nearly 
beardless. A heavy yielder. The straw is very stiff and firm. 
Swedish Select. Kernel is white, large and plump, hull thin, 
and straw is stiff and strong. Does not lodge. A remarkable 
root development makes the Swedish Select oat a good 
drought-resister, and especially suited to high land. It is the 
earliest of the heavy yielding sorts. 
Gray Winter Oats. Usually hardy. Seeded in winter, fall or 
early winter. May be sown in the spring for hay in coast sec¬ 
tions. 
White Side or Tree Oats, is a white side oat adapted to irri¬ 
gated and humid conditions. This variety is a good forage 
and seed yielder. 
FIELD PEAS 
Austrian Winter Peas. Here is the ideal forage legume for 
hay, ensilage or for pasture. Austrian Winter Peas under 
many conditions will outyield vetches. The vines and pods are 
almost as large and heavy as garden peas. The vines are rel¬ 
ished by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best results. 
Will not winter-kill. Does well under irrigation and in rela¬ 
tively humid sections. Very hardy. Grown extensively for seed 
and cover crop. Sow 30 to 35 pounds per acre. 
Canadian. This legume has the distinct advantage of being 
suited to late planting. Canadian Field Peas produce excellent 
forage. May be used for summer green manure crop. Requires 
considerable moisture. Sow 120 to 150 pounds per acre. 
RAPE 
Dwarf Essex. This crop is very highly recommended for pas¬ 
turage for sheep, cattle, and hogs. It also makes splendid 
green feed for poultry. Plant 10 lbs. per acre, in early spring. 
Develops rapidly and is often ready to pasture in 6 to 8 
weeks after seeding. Requires fertile, moist soil. 
RYE 
Sow 85 to 115 pounds per acre. 
Spring Rye makes a successful growth in rather poor soils 
where other grains would fail. It is useful as a cleaning crop 
for the purpose of eradicating wild oats. Makes early pasture 
and may be cut and cured for hay. 
Winter or Fall Rye serves a very useful purpose for pasture 
and hay. May be sown in the spring and summer as well as 
in the fall. When Winter Rye is sown after frost it goes into 
the following season before maturing. 
Rosen or Petkuser Rye. A Winter Rye of recent introduction 
and is becoming very popular among growers of Winter Rye. 
It is said to yield more grain, stools more, and is hardier than 
the older types of Winter Rye. 
SOYBEANS 
Soybeans are annual legumes widely adapted to various soils 
and not difficult to grow on the warmer more fertile soils, are 
excellent as a summer catch crop and splendid soil builders. 
Soybeans hay is one of the best roughages and when mixed 
with corn they make splendid ensilage. When harvested for 
seed, they should not be cut until pods are fully matured and 
the beans hard. 
Sow 40 to 60 pounds per acre. 
Common Vetch. Resembles peas and valuable for forage and 
green manure. As a hay crop it is generally sown with oats or 
wheat to afford support for the vines. Usually sown in the 
fall. Best adapted to sections west of Cascade Mountains. 
Hairy Vetch (Vicia Villosa). Thrives on sandy soils that may 
be somewhat low in fertility, and makes a better growth dur¬ 
ing the cold season than the other varieties. Has very wide 
adaptability. 
Hungarian. Finer stemmed and leafier than most forage 
vetches. Suitable to various types of soils. Resistant to aphid 
attacks. 
WHEAT 
Sow 75 to 90 pounds per acre. 
Marquis Spring Wheat is the standard, hard, red, spring wheat 
for irrigated sections of the West. It is early maturing and 
high yielding. Is beardless, short, stiff strawed. We will be 
able to supply both registered and non-registered seed. 
Turkey Red Winter Wheat. A standard red bearded wheat 
with a strong straw. It is early ripening. Kernels are large, 
red and hard. It is in good demq,pd by millers. 
Thompson Club or White Russian Wheat. The most widely 
used Spring wheat planted in the irrigated districts of Eastern 
Washington and Oregon. It is a beardless, soft white variety 
which outyields all other common varieties. 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian. Heavy producer of forage and seed. Of 
value for silage and seed production. Plant 10 pounds per acre.
