NORTHERN GROWN 
Great Drouth Resister. Practically Rust and Smut 
Proof. A Good Producer. Dandy Feeding Grain 
This grain is one of the oldest grains known to mankind, It was apparently grown in prehis- 
toric times. German-Russian immigrants introduced it to the United States. ; 
It is a remarkable spring grain crop. Really a type of wheat. Shucks cling to the grain. Gen- 
erally two grains in a shuck and somewhat softer than wheat. Makes a nutritious feed. The 
kernels with the hulls removed have about the same composition as wheat. Best as ground feed. 
Highly resistant against rust and seldom injured by smut. Also an excellent drought resistant 
grain. A good producer and under drought or rust conditions it is especially a desirable crop. 
Matures early. Makes a good nurse crop. Grown from Canada_tvu Texas. Iowa, Minnesota, 
Wisconsin, Michigan and other states are growing it as well as Western States where drought

Creme No ae this year and show your neighbors what this drought and disease resistant 
grain can do. Sow in the spring. It is an ideal nurse crop. Sow 2% bu. per acre. Set drill for

THATCHER TYPE 
Exceptionally Rust Resistant 
Thatcher is a beardless rust resistant spring 
wheat first released to growers in 1934. Devel- 
oped by the Minnesota Experiment Station. Has

when stem rust was damaging. Reports during the
