OLDS’ SPRING WHEAT 
PROGRESS WHEAT 
(Wisconsin Pedigree No. 1611. 
Progress is one of the best varieties of 
spring wheat for Wisconsin. The outstanding 
feature about it is that it does not rust. It 
is a bearded, hard red spring wheat, and 
is one of the highest yielders. It was de- 
veloped at the Marshfield Branch Experiment 
Station in 1915, a selection from Harly Java. 
The specific object in view was to get a 
wheat that would have a strong resistance 
to rust and this strain is outstanding in 
that respect.

WINTER WHEAT 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 2 
Hardiest and best winter wheat. 
prices in August. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Sow buckwheat from June 10 to July 10, one 
bushel per acre. 
Buckwheat yields heaviest on well drained 
sandy loam soils, but will also give fair results 
on soils too poor for most other crops. It 
matures in about seventy days and ripens best 
in the cool weather of early fall. Therefore, 
June and July plantings in the North are most 
satisfactory. The Japanese type of buckwheat 
is more vigorous, withstands more drought, and 
produces better yields than the Silver Hull.

JAPANESE. Large, of dark brown color. 
Higher in market than Silver Hull.

SILVER HULL. Silver Hull has a rather 
small grain, light gray in color, nearly round 
in shape. LHarlier than Japanese according to 
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

FLAX 
(Sow 50 to 75 pounds to the acre.) 
Flax is a cool weather crop grown in the 
northern states. It is used mostly for its fibre 
and also for its seed which is ground and in- 
cluded in feed. When grown for fibre, moist or 
under-drained and fairly rich loam is required. 
When produced for seed less fertile soil and 
moisture are required. Plant Bison Flax on wilt 
soils. 
BISON FLAX. The best of the wilt-resistant 
varieties of Flax introduced by the Minnesota 
Experiment Station. Very large seeded and an 
unusually heavy yielder.

WHITE CANADA FIELD PEAS 
White Canada is the best known and most 
popular variety of field peas. Sow 1 to 1% 
bushels per acre broadcast with the same amount 
of oats. Another good mixture recommended by 
leading county agents is % bushel each of Field 
Peas, State’s Pride Oats, Barbless Barley and 
Progress Wheat.

Thatcher Wheat. 
THATCHER WHEAT 
This is a rust-resistant wheat introduced by 
the Minnesota Experiment Station. It is proving 
very popular throughout the Northwest states 
and northwestern Wisconsin. It is a beardless, 
light colored, hard red milling Spring Wheat, 
and one of the highest yielding varieties espe- 
cially under unfavorable weather conditions. 
The most rust-resistant variety of milling wheat.

SPRING RYE 
(Sow 70 to 98 pounds to the acre.) 
Spring Rye is a valuable crop. It should be 
more largely sown. Here are some of its good 
qualities: 
First. It can be sown late in the spring, later 
than other spring grain. 
Second. It is a splendid nurse crop for clover, 
as the crop is harvested early. 
Third, It does well on nearly all soils and can 
be grown on very poor land. 
Fourth. It is a sure cropper, producing or- 
dinarily 80 to 40 bushels per acre.

WHITE WINTER RYE 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 6. 
A new strain of winter rye recently released 
by the Wisconsin Experiment Station. Its strong 
feature is its very light color, almost pure white. 
The Pedigreed White Rye was the result of an 
effort to get a nicer appearing rye than we had 
in the old Pedigree Schlanstedt and meet the 
expectations of millers and bakers who prefer 
lighter colored ryes. 
This new rye is just as good a yielder if not 
better than the old Wisconsin Pedigree and it 
has a big advantage in quality. It is also short- 
er in straw. We recommend it as the best in 
rye.

Wisconsin Common. 
One of the best fall nurse and cover crops. 
Often planted in the fall for plowing under in 
the spring as a green manure crop. Write for

STURGEON WHEAT

A new wheat for Wisconsin which will out-

Marquis or Progress. From 
the bread-making standpoint Sturgeon is equal 
to any wheat offered today. Sturgeon Wheat 
originated by a cross made between Progress 
and Marquis at the Peninsula Branch Experi- 
ment Station at Sturgeon Bay. Progress was 
used because of its resistance to stem rust and 
than either 
Marquis for its bread-making value. Several 
hundred crosses were made at Ashland and 
Sturgeon Bay Stations and thousands were 
selected and tested for their yields and finally 
tested for breadmaking. With the exception of 
the new Sturgeon, all crosses were discarded. 
According to results of five years’ trials, Stur- 
geon is fully as good producing as Progress. 
Milling and baking tests for four consecutive 
years proved it to be a consistent, good bread- 
wheat, equal to Marquis in that im- 
The outstanding qualities of 
Sturgeon Wheat are ‘heavier yield, earlier ma- 
turity, and better baking. It is also resistant 
to stem rust.

RED DURUM WHEAT

not a milling wheat. It is a heavy yielding rust- — 
proof Durum Wheat and is excellent for poultry. 
A very early variety that will ripen with oats 
making it excellent for succotash.

SPELTZ OR EMMER 
(Sow 100 to 125 pounds of seed to an acre.) 
Farmers ought to sow more Speltz. It makes 
splendid feed and lots of it. Excellent balanced 
ground feed for horses, cattle or hogs. Its large 
hull gives it the lightness of Oats while the dou- 
ble kernels furnish a rich meal much like ground 
Rye feed. It is adapted to dry regions, is hardy, 
yields more per acre than Oats, stands up better 
than Oats and Barley. 
Sow the same as barley, about 2% 
per acre. It ripens about with oats.

MAMMOTH RUSSIAN 
SUNFLOWER 
A great feed for poultry and hogs. Also grown 
quite largely now for silage. Also for sheep 
pasture. It makes a much larger amount of feed 
than ensilage corn. Prof. E. J. Delwiche of the 
Ashland Experiment Station, reported that Sun- 
flower greatly outyielded corn, yielding 14.4 
tons of silage per acre, corn only 4.22 tons.
