SAND VETCH 
The Great Soil Reclaimer and Drought Resister 
Often called Hairy Vetch because of its downy or hairy stems 
and also called Winter Vetch, as when sown in the fall, it lives 
through the severest winters and completes its growth the follow¬ 
ing spring. Planted in spring, however, it makes its full growth 
lo the same year, and then does not winter through. 
Sand Vetch is a heavy carrier of root tubercles which makes 
it one of the very best soil builders! It will do well on poor land, 
end eepeclally on sand.v land, enriching it nrore than any other 
crop. Onoe established, it resists almost any summer heat or 
drought. Sand Vetch will supply abundant green forage from early 
spring until fall! It is a tremendous yielder, producing up to 15 
and 30 tons green forage per acre. The hay contains 19.9 % crude 
protein. If grown for hay, leave standing until the seed pods are 
about half formed: at this stage it is easily cut with a mowing 
machine or pea harvester, and quickly cured. If to be fed green, 
it should be cut when in full bloom. May be grazed in early spring 
without greatly reducing the hay crop, or it will give some pasture 
after cutting. It gives one cutting a season. 
Inoculate before planting. Sow 46 to 60 pounds with one bushel 
Crain, preferably Oats, Barley or Kye. Drill in 1 to 3 in. deep. Or 
broadcast by hand or with a hand seeder and cover with a disk 
barrow. Sown with Oats or Barley, Vetch has something on which 
to climb and the grain also furnishes variety in pasture. May be 
Bown from early spring until September.

SPRING SPELTZ OR EMMER 
Jjet Salzer’s Speltz help you cut down your feed bills. It will 
grow any place on earth where gi’ain can be raised and it grows 
where wheat, oats and barley would be a failure: it is the most 
profitable hay and grain food on earth: it ripens early and neither 
rusts, blights, nor lodges: it is relished by all classes of stock: it 
is splendid for hay and fattens in the green state. 
Sew on ground prepared as you would for barley, wheat or oats, 
either broadcast or drill, at the rate of 60 to 80 lbs. Frost will 
not damage early planting. Cut the grain when it is a little past 
the milk .stage, when it will make a splendid grain and lots of 
Btraw. 4697 —Lb., 33c; 5 lbs., 68c, postpaid to 4th zone. Not

SUNFLOWER—For the Silo 
Produces an enormous tonnage of from 20 to 30 tons 
per acre. Fed to dairy cattle, it is found to be satisfac¬ 
tory in every way. The cows relish it and produce prac¬ 
tically as much milk as when fed on the other ensilage. 
Sow any time before the middle of July, in rows far 
enough apart to permit cultivation. Use 8 to 10 lbs. 
per acre. Cultivate and harvest the same as corn.

September, for late pasture. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE— May be sown any time from 
early spring until August and is a success on nearly every 
soil in the United States and Canada. It thrives splendidly in

STURGEON This new variety was bred at the Wiscon¬ 
sin Peninsular Branch Station near Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin 
and is a selection from a cross made in 1925 between Progress 
and Marquis. It is the ciiliiiination of years of work toward 
producing a spring wheat variety adapted to Wisconsin. 
Sturgeon possesses the disease resistant and good yielding 
qualities of Progress and the high baking quality of Mar¬ 
quis! In an eight year average. Sturgeon has exceeded every 
other spring wheat in yield, producing 15% bu. per acre, com¬ 
pared with 12% bu. for Progress and 9%o bu. for Marquis. 
In baking tests. Sturgeon was highest of all in the size of the 
loaf of bread test. It is of excellent milling qualities. 
This splendid bearded spring wheat is well worth a trial 
this year! We recommend it to you as the finest and most 
desirable spring wheat grown today. 4767—Lb.. 25c; peck,

PROGRESS OR WISCONSIN PEDIGREE 
NO. 1611 
The wheat that does not rust! Progress Wheat is the best 
bearded spring wheat for Wisconsin and is proving just as 
valuable in other states. Progress is a high yielding, rust re¬ 
sistant, bearded, white glumed, spring wheat and has a dark 
red hard kernel of superior milling quality. Straw is short 
and very stiff, heads compact and bearded, grain large, plump 
and beautiful. Over a five year test at the Marshfield Station, 
it outyielded every other wheat by 7% bu. per acre. It was 
developed at the Marshfield Station from a selection of the 
Early Java. Its value is thoroughly established and it is one 
of the highest yielders, with grain of superior quality.

beautiful dark red, hard, of large size, attractive shape and 
color. Heads are exceptionally large, beardless and prac¬ 
tically rust proof Smooth, yellow chaff which hugs kernel 
closely, thus resisting frost. Does not thresh out in the wind. 
Straw medium in height and very stiff. Marquis kernels usu¬ 
ally retain their plumpness—hence its high milling value.
