SOJA BEANS MISCELLANEOUS 
One of the most valuable and important for¬ 
age and soil-improving crops. When cut to¬ 
gether with Corn for the silo, they greatly im¬ 
prove the quality of the feed. 
Manchu. Matures early and is an exceptional 
yielder. Very suitable for Northern New Eng¬ 
land. 
Wilson. A rank-growing variety, branching 
high. Leaves large; both pods and leaves remain 
on vines after cutting. 
Barley (6 Rowed). Valuable for hay and for 
its grain. In drills, sow 1% to 2 bushels to an 
acre. 
Buckwheat (Japanese). A splendid crop to im¬ 
prove impoverished land. Excellent for bees and 
production of flour. Sow in June or July one 
bushel per acre broadcast. 
Canada Field Peas. They are used largely with 
oats for the production of fodder and hay. Sow 
early in spring. Use 1% to 2 bushels per acre to 
produce forage hay late in June. 
MILLETS 
Hungarian. A popular annual plant used for 
hay and forage, yielding two to three tons per 
acre. Sow 1 bushel to the acre. Weight 48 
pounds per bushel. 
Japanese Millet. A forage plant of excellent

ing 10 to 15 tons per acre. Sow 20 lbs. per acre

SEED OATS 
Winter Rye (Rosen). Rosen Rye produces a 
strong, vigorous straw and stools to a remarkable 
degree. The grain is large, plump, heavy and 
beautiful color. 
Vetch, Spring (Vicia sativa). Valuable as a 
green manure crop and also for spring hay when 
planted with oats. Sow 2-3 bushels broadcast or

called Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. A great soil 
improver, and a nutritious green fodder or hay 
crop. For Fall sowing. Sow 1 bushel per acre, 
with 1 bushel of rye. 
Swedish Select. Native to northern Europe, 
this is a splendid variety for all sections, and par¬ 
ticularly so to our New England States. A very 
productive sort; the straw is heavy and stifT and 
the grains plump and attractive in appearance. 
Spring Wheat, Marquis. (Beardless). An early 
and productive variety. The kernel is flinty,
