Millet 
HAY MILLETS 
Sow from 20 to 30 lbs. per acre broadcast 
Drill 10-12 lbs. per acre 
X-L GERMAN —This is one of the best varieties for hay and 
fodder. Grows 4 to 5 feet high. Is of rather coarse appear¬ 
ance and should be cut for hay before it is in full bloom. 
At this stage the hay is of the best quality and so tender 
it can be fed to hogs. Like other millets it has a very low 
water requirement and is an excellent dry land crop. 
X-L SIBERIAN —We consider this the best millet for dry 
sections. Extremely hardy, drought resistant and about two 
weeks earlier than German. It stools heavily, is very leafy, 
and yields enormous quantities of fine quality hay. 
A splendid stand of 
Siberian Millet 
raised by Mike Bog- 
don near Great Falls 
on s u b-irrigated 
land. Note height 
and thickness which 
made a wonderful 
hay crop. 
PROSO MILLETS 
X-L EARLY FORTUNE —One of the surest crops in the 
northwest. Especially valuable for late planting. The seed 
is of a shiny reddish brown and is recommended for mixture 
in poultry feeds. 
X-L HOG OR BROOM CORN —The hay is of a coarse qual¬ 
ity except when cut very young. Feed is of high food value 
especially for poultry and hogs. It is yellow-white in color. 
Hog Millet is very early and drought resistant and yields 
enormous quantities of feed, often 60 to 70 bushels per acre. 
SPELTZ OR EMMER 
The kernels resemble wheat in appearance. Very h'avy 
yielding and an excellent feed for cattle. Same culture as 
used for oats or barley. 
Oats 
X-L VICTORY —This variety is highly recommended by our 
State Experiment Station because of its consistently high 
yield performance on both dry and irrigated land. It is a 
heavy yielding variety of thin hulled, plump, white oats. 
Our seed weighs over 40 lbs. per bushel and is free of 
wild oats. 
X-L SWEDISH SELECT —The straw is coarse, noted for its 
stiffness and power to withstand lodging. This variety 
originated in Sweden and has proven one of the most de¬ 
pendable varieties for the Northwest. Our stock for this year 
is exceptionally fine, well matured, plump, free of wild oats 
and of high germination. 
SEED WHEAT 
X-L MARQUIS —Grown and selected for us from pure stock 
and was produced from a pure, high yielding, early matur¬ 
ing strain. Chief characteristic is it is beardless, has good 
straw and fine milling qualities. 
SPRING RYE 
Sow 40 to 50 lbs. per acre. Spring rye should be sown 
more extensively. Can be grown on light and sandy soil; 
on land too poor for wheat, and does equally well on acid 
and non-acid soils. Produces a crop that can be relied upon 
regardless of drought, wet, cold or excessive heat condi¬ 
tions. Makes excellent hay when cut early, and if allowed 
to mature, produces one of the best fattening grains foi 
hogs. 
WINTER OR FALL RYE 
Serves a very useful purpose for pasture and hay. May 
be sown in the spring and summer as well as in the fall. 
When Winter Rye is sown after frost it goes into the follow¬ 
ing season before maturing, thus making it a biennial. 
Fall Rye planted in the spring on either dry or irrigated 
land for pasture purposes gives satisfactory results. Makes 
an early abundant pasture due to the stooling characteristics 
emphasized by the spring conditions. 
Barley 
Sow 50 to 70 lbs. per acre 
X-L TREBI —A bearded six-rowed variety which has 
proven to be one of the highest yielders. Rapidly displacing 
all other varieties in the irrigated sections of Montana. An 
excellent performer under dry land conditions. Grain is 
large, plump, and white, with a very thin hull. 
X-L HORN —A two-rowed variety which has proven to be 
the outstanding heavy yielder under dry land conditions. 
Grows taller and is a greater yielder than Hannchen. 
X-L WHITE HULLESS AND BEARDLESS— Earlier than the 
bearded varieties and six-rowed. When grown for hay it 
should be cut before it is ripe while the straw is still green. 
One of the best hog fatteners we know of. It is a heavy 
yielder and can be given to the hogs in bundles and they 
will eat every kernel of it. 
Flax 
X-L BISON —This variety has proven to be the most pop¬ 
ular for several reasons. It is both wilt and rust resistant, 
large seeded and heavy yielding; very .tall and bushy. 
Produces sturdy plants with stiff, strong, and generous root 
system. Able to withstand adverse weather conditions as 
well as attacks of insects. 
Soybean 
X-L MANCHU —This variety takes the lead among soy¬ 
beans for the middle west. It is outstanding for all purposes. 
Will fully mature under ordinary conditions and grows large 
enough to produce excellent yields of hay or a large crop 
of beans. An average crop will produce 20 to 25 bushels of 
beans per acre. 
Blac\ Amber Cane 
It is the earliest strain grown. Very hardy and of fine 
quality. We offer an improved strain which has been care¬ 
fully bred for size, sugar content, and palatability. Foi 
fodder sow 50 to 60 lbs. broadcast, or 15 to 20 lbs. in drills. 
A few acres will insure a good roughage that will help milk 
production. May be put in pit silos. 
Field Beans 
X-L GREAT NORTHERN— This va¬ 
riety is especially adapted to Mon¬ 
tana soil and climate conditions. 
Beans may be matured for feed or 
resale purposes, and the vines 
make excellent fodder. Sow 16 to 24 
lbs. per acre. 
Field Peas 
X-L CANADIAN FIELD PEAS— Sow 60 to 75 lbs. per acre 
in drills; 100 to 120 lbs. broadcast. Few farmers know the 
value of field peas as a hay crop and fertilizer. They fit 
into crop rotation well and are better suited to conditions of 
the Northwest than any other annual legume for building 
up worn out soils. Field peas contain more digestible protein 
and fat than alfalfa and corn. A good pasture and hay 
mixture is 50 lbs. field peas and 50 lbs. oats. 
Rape 
Sow 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills; 5 lbs. broadcast. Foi 
quick pasture nothing equals Rape. Provides excellent 
pasture for all kinds of livestock, cattle, hogs, and sheep. 
Can be sown at any time during spring or summer so a 
good pasture can be had whenever it is needed. Rape will 
prepare sheep and hogs for market better and in less time 
than any other forage plant. It is a mild succulent feed foi 
cattle and will not flavor the milk after cattle are pastured 
properly.
