Miscellaneous 
FIELD SEEDS 
Mammoth Russian 
Sunflower 
Single heads measure 15 to 20 inches 
in diameter and contain an immense 
amount of seed. The best egg-produc¬ 
ing food known for poultry, and can 
be raised cheaper than corn. Three 
pounds of seed will plant an acre. 
Sand Vetch 
(Vicia Villosa) Sometimes called 
Hairy Vetch or Winter Vetch. Valu¬ 
able for forage and fertilizing pur¬ 
poses. Makes good hay, ensilage and 
pasture, and the yield of green fodder 
is immense. 
SPRING TETCHES or TARES. Simi¬ 
lar in growth to Sand Vetch, but for 
spring planting only. 
Kanota Oats 
(Kansas Fulghum.) Especially valu¬ 
able for its earliness and ability to 
yield large crops. 
Buckwheat 
MiUet 
WHITE WONDER MILLET. The heads of this variety 
will run from 8 to 18 inches and a single head will have 
as many as 15,000 seeds. Foliage is very heavy. 
makes first class hay, 
hardy, withstands drought. 
MILLET. Enormous heads, heavy yield of seed 
and fodder. 
SILVER-HULLED. Blooms longer, matures sooner, and 
yields double the amount per acre over the old common 
variety. Sow 30 to 50 pounds per acre. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. It is early and very produc¬ 
tive, with kernels twice the size of any other variety. 
Field Peas 
Sow GO to 90 pounds per acre. 
Barley 
WHITE HULLESS. Used mainly for food and is one of 
the best hog fatteners that we know of. Yields about 50 
bushels per acre. 
SIX-ROW ED. Sown in the spring, and can be grown far¬ 
ther north than any other grain. Sow 2 to 2ii bushels 
per acre. 
Speltz or Emmer 
Not inclined to rust. Thrives on poor land and in 
stony ground, but does best in dry prairie regions 
with hot summers. Sow 70 to 80 pounds per acre. 
Flax Seed 
Largely grown in Kansas for seed. Sow one-half 
to three-quarters bushel to the acre. 
Canary Seed 
As easily grown as wheat. Requires similar culture, 
20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
Field Peas deserve more general cultivation. They are 
equal to corn in fattening hogs and are ready for feed 
several weeks earlier. White seeded. 
Cowpeas 
Easily planted, easily grown, make good pasture, can 
be fed green, make fine hay and excellent ensilage, es¬ 
pecially when planted with corn. 
Field Beans 
WHITE NAVY. Standard variety of white beans. Me¬ 
dium size. Sow 30 pounds to the acre. For table use. 
Castor Beans 
Should be planted in rows so that they can be culti¬ 
vated. One bushel to 15 acres. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Excellent pasture for cattle, sheep, hogs and chickens. 
Endures cold weather and lasts after ordinary pasture 
is gone. 
PEANUTS 
Very popular for dry land farm¬ 
ing and are now grown as far 
north as Iowa with success. Good 
feed for forcing cows to a high 
yield of milk and for rapidly fat¬ 
tening cattle and hogs, especially 
when combined with Milo. A peck 
and a half of shelled peanuts will 
plant an acre. 
WHITE JUMBO. Standard varie¬ 
ty for roasting. Three times as 
large as the Spanish. 
SPANISH. Very early, pods small but remarkably well 
filled, and yield is very large. 
TENNESSEE RED. Best yielder. Pods contain four or 
five nuts. 
INOCULATED PEANUTS MAKE A LARGER YIELD.
