Sudan Slate 
In many parts of the country, 1938 was dry and hot. Between the 
lack of moisture and damage by grasshoppers, corn was a failure— 
pastures were gone—but Sudan kept right on growing, and made good 
pasture and a lot of hay. 
Don't Take Chances on Another Dry Year 
PLANT SUDAN GRASS 
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 cut¬ 
tings 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 pasture for the 
cows in the summer when pastures are poor and the milk 
flow is low. 
Sudan Grass should not be planted until the ground has 
warmed up thoroughly after corn planting season. 
Our seed is of extra good quality, well cleaned, plump, 
and of good germination. Our price is very low for this 
fine quality seed. Plant 25 pounds per acre. 
1 lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 65c; 25 lbs., $1.25; 
50 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., $3.75. 
hay soy beans 
FOR 
GRAIN 
More Soy Beans are planted each year, and this is proof that Soy Beans are a 
profitable crop. Soy Beans are the best nitrogen gatherers of the Legumes. They 
thrive on acid soil, and as they are annuals will work into any system of crop rotation. 
They yield large and profitable crops of grain and hay, which is equal to alfalfa 
in feeding value. 
Soy Beans can be planted as late as June 15th, and even if they do not get ripe, 
will make a good hay crop. 
We recommend planting Soy Beans in rows 1 V 2 inches deep; 40 to 50 pounds per 
acre. 
★ MUKDEN 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 easily as other varieties and you do not lose so 
many beans when threshing. Yields about as piuch 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; 5 lbs., 35c; J4 bu., 60c; y 2 bu., 90c; 1 bu., (60 lbs.), $1.45; 100 lbs., 
$2.40. 
★ MANCHU SOY BEANS 
Manchu is the best known and most popular variety of soy beans in the North¬ 
west. 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. Iowa 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 concaves. 
1 lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 35c; J4 bu., 60c; y 2 bu., 90c; 1 bu., (60 lbs.), $1.45; 100 lbs., 
$2.40. 
★ ILLINI SOY BEANS 
This variety was developed at the Illinois Ex¬ 
periment 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 excellent 
hay for dairy cattle. 
1 lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 35c; 'A bu., 60c; y 2 bu., 90c; 
1 bu., (60 lbs.), $1.45; 100 lbs., $2.40. 
NITRAGIN INOCULATION 
FOR SOY BEANS 
Inoculation may double your yield. 
1 bu., 30c; 2 bu., 50c; 5 bu., $1.00; 10 
bu., $1.60; 25 bu., $3.00 Postpaid. 
★ DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Rape is one of the best pasture crops, and much more of it 
should be planted. 
In the spring, sow it with your Small Grain for pasture after 
harvest. Sow it with Fall Rye in the Spring for Summer Pas¬ 
ture. Most important of all, sow it with' your last cultivation 
of corn. This is the most profitable place to sow Rape seed. 
If you are hogging the corn down, the hogs will clean the Rape 
as well as the corn. Dwarf Essex Rape is the only variety that 
is valuable. 
1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 65c; 10 lbs., $1.10; 25 lbs., $2.40; 50 lbs., 
$4.40; 100 lbs., $8.25. 
FOR MILLET HAY 
★ GERMAN MILLET 
It grows from 3 to 6 feet tall, and makes excellent hay for dairy cattle. The seed 
is very good chicken feed. Few grasses or plants will make the enormous yields of 
hay and seed produced by German Millet. Four or five tons of hay and 60 or 70 
bushels of seed per acre have been reported. It may be planted as late as July 1st 
and still mature. Plant 25 pounds per acre. 
10 lbs., 55c; 25 lbs., 95c; 50 lbs., (1 bu.), $1.50; 100 lbs., $2.95. 
★ SIBERIAN MILLET 
A wonderfully productive hay millet. It never grows as coarse as the German, 
making a better quality hay. It grows about 3 feet tall and is the earliest of the 
millets. Plant 30 pounds per acre. 
10 lbs., 55c; 25 lbs., 90c; 50 lbs., (1 bu.), $1.40; 100 lbs., $2.75. 
★ JAPANESE MILLET OR BILLION DOLLAR GRASS 
You can get two good cuttings of leafy, nutritious hay from Japanese Millet. Even 
if it is not cut until it is 6 or 7 feet tall, the hay will not be very coarse, and is superior 
to corn fodder. It does fairly well on high land but is best on lower land where the 
moisture is plentiful. The seed is of very little value for feed. Plant 20 pounds per acre. 
10 lbs., 65c; 25 lbs., $1.10; 35 lbs., (1 bu.), $1.40; 50 lbs., $1.85; 100 lbs., $3.45. 
FOR GRAIN AND HAY 
★ PROFESSOR HANSEN’S WHITE SIBERIAN PROSO 
It will yield well on the driest upland in all our Western States. For feeding 
livestock and poultry, Proso is equal to wheat. 
Proso forms the principal article of diet for millions of people in Russia and 
China, and can now be purchased in many stores in America. Its greatest value is 
as a catch crop, one that can be planted as late as July 15th and still mature a crop 
of grain and hay. Height 2 to 3 feet. Plant 20 pounds per acre. 
1 lb., 15c; 10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., 80c; 50 lbs., (1 bu.), $1.20; 100 lbs., $2.35. 
★ EARLY FORTUNE —RED HOG OR RED PROSO 
This extra early Red Proso is a very heavy yielder of grain, which ripens while 
the leaves are still green. You can harvest your grain crop and still have good qual¬ 
ity hay. Plant at the rate of 20 pounds per acre as late as July 15th. 
10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., 80c; 50 lbs., (1 bu.), $1.15; 100 lbs., $2.20. 
BE SURE TO INOCULATE ALL SOY BEAN SEED WITH NITRAGIN BEFORE PLANTING
