HONEOYE FALLS, N. Y. 
Dear Friend: 
February 23, 1942 
Millions of human beings are miserably starving to death to-day. Much of the world’s food producing land has been 
devastated by war and much more will be put out of production. 
Other areas have been stripped of their workers and re- 
sources and cannot produce food. Inevitably more millions of human beings will suffer and die for want of food — just food 
of which you and I have plenty. It is the obvious duty of every farmer in this blessed Country — his duty to all humanity 
and the Nation to produce food to the limit of his resources and, if necessary, without promise of price. Huge food reserves 
should be accumulated, ready for immediate forwarding to starving people anywhere, the minute a way has been cleared. 
Food as well as munitions is necessary to win this war and will be still more necessary to insure peace instead of chaos and 
anarchy after the victory. 
Let’s forget petty things and produce with patriotism for humanity’s sake. 
Ernestly, 
K. C. Livermore. 
We are located 3 miles north of Honeoye Falls, on Clover Road, at the intersection of routes 65 and 251, half way between Rush and Mendon. 

Oats, Barley, Peas and Mixtures 
; Too many farmers still believe that short chunky oats weigh- 
ing 40 lbs. or more per bushel yield best. Consequently thousands of 
bushels of unadapted oats from the West are machined to these speci- 
fications and sold for seed in the Northeastern States. But experi- 
ment station tests show that every acre so planted produces. $2. to 
$10. less value than it would if planted to any of the test proven 
varieties described below. Actual performance records and not ap- 
pearances are the only reliable guides in choosing oat or barley var- 
ieties. The agricultural colleges have tested all the old and new 
ualeues available. Their yielding abilities for different localities are 
nown. 
The oats and barleys here offered are test proven high yielders 
for the Northeastern States. Our seed is thoroughly recleaned and 
well graded with modern equipment by experienced operators. It is 
free from weed seeds and was grown from treated seed. Germination 
on all lots is 90% or better, mostly from 96% to 99%. Prices page 5. 
LENROC OAT - Best for the Northeastern States. It has averaged 
2 to 5 bushels more than other station developed varieties and usually 
5 to 15 bushels more than the attractive Swedish type and Victory oats 
from the West, of which thousands of bushels annually are sold here 
under various names. 
Lenroc, bred from Cornellian, the leader for nearly twenty years, 
yields more, has stronger straw. larger, whiter kernels and should 
replace Cornellian as well as other varieties. It is a tree type oat 
and usually outyields side oats by 10 to 15 bushels. 
Most oat growers in New York and near-by will do best with 
Lenrocs (in certain cases Uprights) and no better seed is available 
than that from Quaker Hill Farm. Prices page 5. 
UPRIGHT OAT - Outstands all others. Safest and most profitable 
on rich or low land where other varieties might lodge. Many custom- 
ers report large yields of this oat safely harvested on fields where 
they had never before grown oats without heavy losses from lodging. 
On lighter or poorer soils Upright yields about 5 bushels less 
than Lenroe. On rich ground Upright is safer and better than Lenroc 
or any other oat available. 
Upright’s kernel is white, larger, but percentage of meats is lower 
than in Lenroc. Its straw is taller as well as much stronger. Upright 
leads in yield of straw, green feed or oat hay. 
If your oats usually lodge, Upright will solve the problem. Prices 
age 5. 
ALPHA BARLEY - Two row hybrid, wide adaptation, excellent 
straw, large kernels, one of the highest yielders in Northeastern 
States. Ripens with Lenroc oats. Best for mixtures with oats. Best 
for milk production but not for beer. Stands better after ripening 
than other kinds. Best for combining. Threshes cleaner. Its beards 
are barbed but not uncomfortably so. Suffers less from late planting 
or unfavorable weather. 
WISCONSIN 38 BARLEY - Highest yielding, smooth bearded, 6 
rowed hybrid, later than Alpha. Straw weaker. Not so good for 
mixed sowing. Better for beer. ae 
WHITE CANADIAN FIELD PEAS - One of the best in yield 
of grain and vine growth. Grown in Idaho to escape blight infection. 
They are 100% disease free. Blight infected seed is unsafe. 
GRAIN MIXTURES - We offer Lenroc oats and Alpha barley, 
with or without field peas, in proper proportions. These high yield- 
ers, ripening together. make the cheapest home grown feed. 
GREEN FEED OR HAY MIXTURES - Oats and peas make a 
very nutritious green feed or hay that cattle relish. A patch handy 
to the lane or pasture is worth a lot when pastures dry up. Our mix- 
ture of Upright oats and disease free peas yields considerably more 
forage than other varieties. Prices page 5. 
Field Corn 
Repeated tests in various places in the Northeastern States show 
that the following field corns supply the silage and grain needs of 
most of this area more economically than other corns. From them 
you can choose those best suited to your needs and climate. 
All are from strains developed by painstaking efforts. Germina- 
tions range from 90% to 98%. Each lot of seed is mechanically 
separated by shape and size into four grades, — Large Flat, Medium 
Flat, Large Round, Medium Round. This permits more accurate 
planting with less waste of seed and better yields. Corn planters, 
with the plates usually furnished handle flat kernels better than round 
but plates for the round kernels are available. . Hand planters and 
grain drills handle both shapes. The different grades produce equally 
well, provided the seed is properly spaced. 
YATES FLINT - A very early high yielding corn of hybrid origin, 
90 days here. Stalks 6 ft. to 7 ft. Ears large, yellow to red, mostly 
amber, 12-rowed. Kernels small. Ideal for feeding whole to poultry. 
SHEFFIELD - Eight row flint developed in Berkshire Mts. Very 
early. Good yielder. Ears medium size, dark yellow. Stalks medium. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW FLINT - A later, 100 to 110 day, larger 
eared, 8 to 12 rowed, yellow flint corn with 7’ to 9’ stalks. 
The flint corns are wilt susceptible and should not be used in wilt 
areas. They are recommended for most of New York and New Eng- 
land. Prices page 5. 
CORNELL No. 11 - Highest yielding 100 to 110 day yellow dent 
corn for this area. Averaged nearly 70 bu. shelled in N. Y. tests. 
About 18T. easy to handle silage with 1144 T. grain per acre. Better 
than large corns where seasons are short. Our Quaker Hill strain 
is medium early and a wonderful yielder of fine type yellow corn. 
CORNELL 29-3 HYBRID - This new corn is recommended for 
silage wherever West Branch Sweepstakes or corn of similar maturity 
has been used and for grain wherever Cornell No. 11 matures, in 
other words a large part of the Northeastern States. Station and 
farm tests have proven its merits. 
It matures here in 110 to 115 days, a little after Cornell No. 11. 
In silage tests at Ithaca and in other parts of the State, it has equalled 
Sweepstakes in green weight, exceeded it in dry weight by 15% to 
20% and in grain by 10% to 50%. In actual food value it generally 
yields 25% more than West Branch Sweepstakes, when grown for 
silage in New York. It grows more rapidly and more uniformly. It 
is leafy, ears heavily and matures just right for silage in most of New 
York and parts of adjacent states. The risk of weather damage is 
less than with later varieties. 
It can be grown for grain wherever Cornell No. 11 succeeds and 
usually yields 15% to 30% more shelled corn than Cornell No. 11, 
occasionally as much as 50% more. The ears show variations in the 
directions of all four parents, but mostly they are medium sized ears 
of dent or semi-flint type, reddish, yellowish or whitish in color. 
Compared with most of the corn: varieties now in use in New 
York for silage or grain, Cornell 29-3 usually produces $10.00 to $15.00 
more value per acre. The extra cost of the seed is less than $.75 per 
acre. Using Cornell 29-3 means more profit and better feed. 
WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES - A later and, under favor- 
able conditions, larger corn than the preceding. When seasons are long 
enough and fertility high, Sweepstakes gives a larger tonnage of sil- 
age per acre. The actual feeding value may be no higher but some- 
times tonnage of succulent feed is the primary consideration. Sweep- 
stakes has leafy, 9’ to 11’ stalks. large ears of various shades of red 
and variable type. Matures in 1380 days.
