FLAX 
Flax can be sown only about once in six or seven years 
on the same ground. It is a splendid crop to grow on 
new breaking, for it not only produces a good paying 
crop but it also helps to prepare the soil for future crops, 
leaving ground in a nice mellow condition. Before sow- 
ing, it is especially important to have the ground well 
firmed. Also be sure that there are no open spaces in 
the bottom of the furrows, as these are likely to cause 
the roots to rot. Sow 25 to 30 pounds to the acre, as 
early as possible and yet avoid the last killing spring 
frost. 
Bison Flax 
A large seeded wilt and rust resistant variety, developed 
by the No. Dak. Experimental Station. Bison has prac- 
tically replaced all other older varieties. It will yield 
on an average, 20 bushels to the acre and some have 
yielded as high as 380 bushels to the acre. See Yellow 
list for prices, 
Spring Rye 
Makes an excellent crop for sowing where winter grain 
has been killed off or for soiling. It can also be grown 
for a grain crop by being seeded early in the spring and 
harvested in the same season, like wheat or oats. Does 
not grow quite so large a straw as winter rye, but 
usually yields well. Sow about 1% bushels to the acre. 
Latest prices are given on Special Field Seed list. 
Rosen Winter Rye 
Has proven itself to be far superior to any other winter 
rye. It is a heavy yielder with large, well-filled heads 
and large dark green kernels. The straw is big and 
strong and will stand the weather better than any other 
variety. Refer to Yellow list for prices.

SUDAN GRASS 
This popular hay and pasture crop is a native of tropical 
Africa and therefore it is necessary for the soil to warm 
up in the Spring before planting the seed. It may be 
sown as late as July or August but its season will then 
be quite short. It is usually big enough to pasture when 
five or six weeks old, or sooner if it gets 12 to 14 inches 
tall. It grows remarkably well during the hot dry 
weather of July® and August. As a hay crop Sudan 
should be cut from the time the heads begin to appear 
until the seeds are in the soft, dough stage. The best 
hay is from the early cutting. Sudan grass is an annual, 
lacking underground root stalks. Two cuttings can be 
obtained under favorable conditions, and may yield from 
2 to 5 tons of cured hay per acre. If for hay, sow about 
25 to 30 pounds to the acre broadcast. If wanted for 
silage, sow about 10 pounds to the acre in rows and eulti- 
vate the same as corn, or it may be sown with fodder 
corn if preferred. Sudan, if cultivated, will grow to a 
height of 8 or 10 feet. See Special Field Seed price list 
for latest quotations. 
WHEAT 
Marquis Type Wheat 
A hard red spring wheat, beardless with long heads and 
very stiff straw of medium_length. Kernels are short 
and thick and very plump. Ripens early, ahead of other 
spring varieties. Outyields nearly all spring wheats. 
See Field Seed list for prices. 
Thatcher Type Wheat 
Thatcher is the newest wheat variety introduced by the 
Minnesota Experiment Station. It is more rust resistant 
than most other varieties, beardless and is similar to 
Marquis in appearance, milling and baking qualities. It 
matures early and is a very heavy yielder. Please refer 
to Yellow List for prices. 
Winter Wheat (Minturki) 
The hardiest of hard winter wheats, with red beard and 
strong straw. Originated from a cross between Turkey 
and Odessa, the crossing being accomplished at the Min- 
nesota Agricultural Experiment Station. It has out- 
yielded other varieties of winter wheat in Minnesota 
and seems to be particularly adapted to this state. Of 
good baking quality. Prices are given on yellow field 
seed price list. 
BARLEY 
Wisconsin No. 38 (Barbless) 
A smooth awned barley developed by the Wisconsin 
station. Resistant to Barley stripe. Has a large head 
and plump kernel, and stands the heat and dry weather 
better than other varieties. Many yields of 40 to 50 
bushels are reported. A fine malting variety. Sow at 
the rate of two bushels to the acre. See special Yellow 
OATS 
CULTURE. Sow oats at the rate of 2 to 2% bushels 
to the acre, very early in the spring on a well prepared 
field with a modern grain drill. Deep seeding on heavy 
clay soil is often fatal to the crop. Two inches is deep 
enough on a fine, compact seed bed. 
Gopher Oats 
Gopher is a white, early maturing, stiff strawed variety 
especially adapted for southern Minnesota conditions. 
It has shown remarkable yielding ability in central 
Minnesota and is a good yielder on peat land. Gopher is 
an extra early variety usually maturing before the hot 
weather and rust have a chance to affect it seriously. 
Its extreme earliness, resistance to lodging and rust and 
fine quality make it one of the most desirable oats for 
this section. See Special list for prices. 
Gould's Selected Swedish Oats 
These oats we do not hesitate to place among the best 
for our northern climate. It is a heavy yielder of large, 
plump, white kernels. The straw grows quite tall, and 
does well on medium or light soil. Its habit of growth 
is so vigorous that on heavy soil it is likely to lodge. 
See Yellow Field Seed list for prices. 
Sixty-Day Oats 
Is recognized as being the quickest maturing oats on the 
market. It is a good yielder and a sure cropper, being 
very often sown after other crops have failed. It is a 
small yellowish oat that weighs about 34 pounds to the 
bushel; the hull is very thin. It is so early that it may 
be harvested with barley, and is three weeks ahead of 
most other sorts. See Special price list. 
N. K. & Co.'s Lincoln Oats 
Is another oat that has given very splendid results. 
Owing to its strong stiff straw it very seldom lodges 
and may be raised with marked success in very rich soil. 
Refer to Field Seed list for prices.
