Rape can be put to quite a num- 
ber of uses. It may be sown alone 
as a spring crop to provide early 
pasture. It may be sown with 
spring grain to provide fall pasture 
after the grain is cut. As itis a 
common practice to drag or weed 
our grain crops after they are up, 
the sowing of rape at this time can 
be easily done. Rape may also be 
sown just before the last cultiva- 
tion of corn to provide fall feed 
and increases the yield of feed per 
acre, or Rape may be sown with 
fall rye to provide fall pasture. 
This plant, which is related to the 
rutabaga family, is one of the very 
best forage plants for pasturing 
cattle, hogs or sheep, as well as 
for silo filling. Thrives best in low, 
An excellent catch crop, develops 
very rapidly. Useful either for hay 
or if allowed to mature gives an 
excellent grain crop which is much 
in demand for both poultry feeding 
and household use. 
The best variety for the North- 
west. Produces its seed earlier, re- 
sists drought, and is very depend- 
able.

SATISFACTORY FOR FOUR 
YEARS 
Dear Sirs: I have been buying 
Clover and Grass and Alfalfa seed 
from you for the past four years. 
They have given satisfaction in every 
way. I get four cuttings of Alfalfa 
a season and the yield is fine. I cut 
fifteen tons of Alfalfa hay from thir- 
teen acres the first cutting last spring. 
The Timothy and Clover was as fine 
as I ever saw. I always have a good 
word for your seed. I saved 25% to 
40% on the price of seed by ordering 
from you. H. B. HOLT,

moist soil, such as slough, lake bed 
or a coulee bottom. In such places 
it will produce a tremendous quan- 
tity of feed, growing out as fast 
as it is eaten off. 
While not quite so early as Jap- 
anese, is preferred by millers as it 
makes a whiter, better and more 
nutritious flour. A nice variety to 
sow where bees are kept. 
Very much pleased with your seed. 
They have never failed to grow.
