Wilson Soy Beans 
1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.75. 
3 ozs. for each bushel of grain 
Wayne Oats 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Sorghum - Cane 
EARLY ORANGE. The choicest variety, producing an abundance of good 
forage. Also excellent for syrup. Sorghum may be cut and dried, and 
fed to all farm livestock. Does well all over Ohio and the east. Plant 
8 to 10 pounds per acre, 50 pounds per bushel. Write for prices. 
Soy Beans 
They can be grown wherever corn can be grown; they furnish good for¬ 
age and improve the soil. They will grow on soil too acid for clover 
and fit readily into any crop rotation. They furnish an excellent qual- 
ity of feed, either as grain, hay or green forage. The best time for 
seeding is about corn planting time, or when the ground has become 
thoroughly warm. Soy Beans should not be sown too deeply, as poor 
stands frequently result from too deep covering. They can be planted 
with corn, or they may be planted alone either for hay or grain, fol¬ 
lowed the next year with corn and wheat. Corn and Soy Beans grown 
together can be hogged down with profit. Soy Beans are a legume, 
fine for soil improvement. They should be inoculated for best results. 
Good seed is essential to success. When grown for seed it requires 
2^4 pecks drilled or 5 pecks sown solid; for hay, 6 pecks per acre 
solid; or for silage, 4 to 6 lbs. per acre when sown with corn; for silo, 
plant 1 bushel Soy Beans to 15 lbs. Sudan. 60 lbs. per bushel. 
MANCHU. A medium early (105 days) with erect and bushy plant, good 
for hay or pasture, or hogging off with early corn. Write for price list. 
WILSON. (Early Black Wilson). A medium late (120 days) variety 
which does well on the poorer types of soil. Plant tall and slender, 
tending to twine. Probably the best known all-around sort for silage 
and hay. Write for price list. 
Seed Oats 
This is a leader with Holmes. We grow STATE INSPECTED CERTI¬ 
FIED Seed Oats on our own farms. We have found the one big step 
toward a real Oats crop, is quality seed! Same soil preparation—same 
work . . . but GOOD SEED . . . and there you have the answer 
between ordinary Oats crops and State Inspected Certified. Good 
Seed Pays! 
WAYNE. A new, medium early white Oats, developed by the Ohio 
Agricultural Experiment Station, first distributed for increase in 1930. 
This variety has led all others in yield trials at Wooster over a long 
period of years, and is now recommended especially for northern and 
northwestern Ohio. We grew these'Oats on our own farm this past 
season and it outyielded all other sorts. Plas stiff straw. We are head¬ 
quarters for Certified Seed. Write for price list. 
FIELD PUMPKINS. (See page 27.) 
Velvet Barley 
This new six-row variety produced by the Minnesota Experiment Sta¬ 
tion is a heavy yielder producing as much or more grain than other 
sorts per acre. It has a very stiff straw and is more disease-resistant 
than other varieties. The great advantage of Velvet Barley over others 
lies in the fact that it is smooth-awned, having no barbs on the beards. 
Therefore much more easily handled than any other Barley. In 6-year 
average comparative tests at the Ohio Experiment Station it yielded 
40 bushels per acre. Drill 2 bushels per acre. 48 lbs. per bu. Write 
for Farm Seed price list. 
Hairy Vetch 
It makes good yields of green manure or hay, high in nitrogen or protein. 
It is particularly adapted to sandy soils and is only moderately sensi¬ 
tive to soil acidity. Long-continued experiments have shown that hairy 
vetch makes a good stand more reliably than any other crop when 
sown in corn at the last cultivation. Rye may be improved by adding 
Vetch for practically any situation where it is used as a cover and 
green manure crop. Vetch is also a valuable addition to rye for 
pasture. It is not recommended for wet soils. Vetch may be sown any 
time after July 1. 20 to 25 pounds of Vetch to a bushel of Rye has 
proven very satisfactory. Inoculation increases the yield. We furnish 
high-grade seed only. 60 lbs. per bushel. Write for prices. 
Winter Wheat - Rye - Barley 
We are now growing large acreage which will be ready to deliver to our 
customers after harvest time next July. Selected strains (our own 
growing), FULHIO and THORNE (developed by Ohio Agricultural 
Experiment Station), State Certified seed wheat. The hardiest va¬ 
rieties, WINTER BARLEY and ROSEN RYE, will be very carefully 
cleaned by most modern machinery and offered to you.
