Rue Grass Will Produce the Best Quich Pusture, 
ORLANDO SOVBODA, MORSE BLUFF, NEBRASKA, says: Kelly’s hybrids 
were the easiest picking and highest yielding corn out of several planted in the same 
field. Very dry but made 70 bushels per acre. 

Above is a reproduction of a photograph of a field of rape (sent us by one of our grow- 
ers), which was planted last April. He states some of the stocks are % of an inch thick. Such 
a field should produce 1,000 pounds of seed per acre. Rape is usually seeded in the summer, 
but this year this grower seeded in April and -will be harvested about the 10th of August the 
following year. For this year’s seeding we offer at the following prices:

RYE GRASS 
Rye grass makes the quickest pasture of anything we have to offer and should be used 
in all grass mixtures. In many European countries rye grass is the principal pasture grass.

SOY BEANS 
For many years we have handled large quantities of Soybeans, starting about 30 years ago 
when we sold our first soybeans at $10.00 per bushel. For the last ten years we haye aver- 
aged around 100,000 bushels of beans a year for seed. At the time we usually harvest soy- 
beans it looked as though there would be no seed beans, but to most everybody’s surprise, 
these soybeans came through in better condition than most people expected. While only a 
small part of the crop is fit for seed, we have some very good beans which show about average 
germination. In some sections there are very few beans fit for seed, in fact we understand in | 
some parts of Iowa where a good many beans are now produced, very few are fit for seeding , 
purposes. 
For several years Illinois has produced more than 50% of-all the soybeans in the United 
States. We have two houses in the producing section and in a position to furnish you good 
beans at as low a price as anyone in the United States. Soybeans is a very important crop 
in central Illinois and the cash income with some farmers equals their corn crop. 
With the increased demand for oil and meal, there should be a greatly increased demand 
for seed beans and we are just wondering where all these seed beans are going to come from. 
Many of the beans which look as though fit for seed, were combined too wet, carrying from 
14 to 20% moisture. No doubt most of these beans will be unfit for seed as it is almost impos- 
sible to keep beans in good condition if they have over 14% moisture. 
CHIEF 
A new bean developed by Dr. Woodworth of the Illinois Agriculture Station, the man who 
developed the Illini soybean. This is a yellow bean similar in many respects to the Illini, but 
a better bean. Stands up better, yields better, pops out less than any other bean we know of. 
Also stands wet weather better. Grows a little taller than Illini and three or four days later. 
Most outstanding is the added yields. We only have about 4,000 bushels of these Chief beans, 
a large percentage of which is already sold. For prices see price list enclosed. : 
This is a picture of a 75-acre field of 
Chief beans taken on Thanksgiving Day. 
Sixty days previous to this time these beans 
stood weeks and weeks of rain totaling 
about 17 inches, also several strong winds. — 
Note how they still stand up in excellent 
shape and the beans showed little effect of 
all this moisture and wind. | — .
