OATS 
WHITE GROSS OR WISCONSIN PEDIGREE No. 19— This 
wonderful early white oat, in fact the earliest of all oats, was awarded 
first premium at the Wisconsin State Pair. 
Prof. B. D. Leith, Associate Agronomist at the Wisconsin College of 
Agriculture, bred this new oat after years of work. The object was to 
produce a high yielding early white oat, with a taller straw and a larger 
kernel than is usually found in early oats. The large kernel and white 
color make it attractive, and the tall straw is particularly desirable in 
localities where the soil is light. Has a branching habit and is a good 
rust-resister. It has a tendency to lodge on rich soils, but is especially 
well adapted to sandy soils. 4625 —See prices above. 
STATE’S PRIDE OR WISCONSIN PEDIGREE No. 7— 
Elarliest yellow oat. Prof. B. D. Leith, University of Wisconsin, points out 
that in spite of unfavorable weather. State’s Pride yielded 75.7 bushels per 
acre. Earliest of all yellow oats and best because it is an excellent nurse 
crop and escapes rust, because of its earliness. Does not lodge easily, but 
fills ,out the kernels if it does, making it especially desirable for rich 
soils. Has a very short, stiff straw. It is a yellow oat, bright, shining, 
thin hulled, meaty and is about the best oat. 4623 —See prices above. 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE No. 1 — Wisconsin Wonder. This fine 
white variety originated at the Wisconsin Experimental Station, and is 
one of the most sought after of all oats. It stands up better than any 
other oat, on rich river bottom land where other varieties usually lodge. 
Its coarse, stiff straw permits it to stand up well on rich manured land. 
Especially recommended for following cultivated- crops. The kernels 
are white, rather long, with a medium hull. Heavy yielder. Early. 
4620 —See prices above. 
SALZER’S WHITE KHERSON— (Iowa 103)—A grand oat which 
has twice carried off sweepstakes at the International Dry Farming Con¬ 
gress. An early variety; splendid nurse crop; permits early harvesting 
and late sowing of other crops. Kernels are slender, plump, white, and 
thin-hulled. Heavy yielder. 4622 —See prices above. 
60-DAY, JULY OR KHERSON— it is a small, yellowish oat 
with a very thin hull and practically all meat, and with short, stiff straw. 
Does not lodge easily. Sixty Day Oats are extremely early and are espe¬ 
cially fine in a dry season. They usually yield 70 to 80 bushels per acre, 
at least. It adapts itself readily to the different soils. Can be harvested 
with your barley. Mature in about 80 days, rather than 60 as the name 
would indicate. 46 I 6 —See prices above. 
SWEDISH SELECT OR WIS. PEDIGREE No. 5— a splendid 
late white oat for upland soils and poor land. The kernel is large and 
plump. Straw grows tall and rank and the panicles are large and well 
filled. It is a late maturing variety. Rust resistant and not easily sus¬ 
ceptible to smut. Adapted to the lighter soils which are less liable to 
cause lodging. 462 1 —See prices above. 
SALZER’S SILVERMINE

heavy yields and is a fine second 
early white oat, very robust and 
vigorous and seldom lodges. The 
heads are borne low on strong, 
stiff straw which is unusually 
bright and clean. The kernels are 
white, plump, heavy and thin 
hulled. Endures extremes of dry, 
wet, hot and cold weather. 4615—

PH ALAR IS OR 
REED’S CANARY GRASS 
A magnificent grass for wet, low-lying, poorly drained soils—in 
fact, the only grass we know of for reclaiming waste, marshy lands. 
On many farms are to be found low wet situations where neither Red 
Top Alsike, nor anything else will grow, and for these situations, 
Phalaris or Reed Canary Grass is tlie thing to plant. Phalaris is 
very hardy and as the seed shatters so easily it spreads rapidly. 
The hay is a little coarse, especially if it is left to grow too long, 
but it is nutritious and tasty and all stock like it and relish it. The 
leaves are quite broad and the plant flourishes, often growing 5 to 7 
feet high. Underground stems rapidly form a tough sod and hold 
haw machinerj' without difficulty. Yields of 4.57 tons of hay per 
acre from two cuttings, have been reported. Cut the first crop for 
hay as soon as the heads or panicles appear. Two cuttings can be 
made and then fall pasture may be had or 3 cuttings may be made. 
Broadcast 6 to 6 pounds per acre or drill in % in. deep, at the rate 
' 3 to 3 pounds in 18 in. rows. If the land is well drained so you 
in prepare a seed bed, do so. If covered with water, wait tiU the 
ater recedes and then sow. May also be sown on the ground and 
LOW in January, leaving it to settle with the weather 451 I-—
