BARLEY — 
Wisconsin No. 38 (Barbless) 
A smooth awned barley developed by the Wisconsin sta- 
tion. Resistant to barley stripe. Has a large head and 
plump kernel, and stands the heat and dry weather better 
than other varieties. Many yields of 40 to 50 bushels 
are reported. A fine malting variety. Sow at the rate 
of two bushels to the acre. See special yellow list for 
ee FIELD PEAS 
Are not only profitable as a dry shelled crop, but may 
also be used for hay, pasture, or soiling with excellent 
results. 
Peas are second only to clover in their soil enriching 
properties and can be grown under almost any condition 
of soil or climate. 
Canada Yellow Field Peas 
The standard field pea of the Northwest, and needs no 
description. It is always in demand either as a dry pea 
for cooking, or for pigeons. Prices given on special 
field seed price list. 5 
Marrowfat Fancy 
Vines grow 4 to 5 feet high bearing long, round pods 
with 5 to 7 large round peas. Yields abundantly. See 
special price list for latest quotations. 
Inoculate peas and beans with Nitragin before plant- 
ing. See page 45 for prices. 
SOY BEANS 
Soy beans are one of the most valuable crops one can 
raise. As a hay crop, Soy beans are higher in protein 
content than clover and equal to alfalfa hay. Are excel- 
lent for silage grown with corn. Do not plant too early; 
about corn planting time or later. Inoculate seed with 
Nitragin before planting. Cover seed lightly. 
CULTURE. For silage, the usual amount of corn is 
planted and soy beans added at the rate of 10 pounds 
per acre. Seed may be mixed in the planter box and 
stirred at each row end or planted from separate boxes. 
The two crops may be grown separately and mixed in 
the silo cutter two parts of corn to one of soy beans. 
The beans should be almost ripe when cut. 
For hay, plant 60 to 90 pounds per acre in rows 20 to 36 
inches apart. Harvest when pods are well filled and 
leaves commence to turn. Allow to wilt in swath, then 
rake up and place in small cocks. Curing sometimes 
requires several days and should be thorough. Soy beans 
drop their leaves quite easily and should be cut before 
any number have fallen. They should be handled as little 
as possible to retain the most leaves. 
For hogging off, plant 30 to 60 pounds per acre in rows 
20 to 42 inches apart. Twenty-inch rows can be made 
by straddling every other row with the corn planter. As 
soon as the beans are matured, turn in the hogs to har- 
vest the crop. 
Richland 
This year the government will be very anxious for farm- 
ers to plant soy beans to get more oil, and the soy bean 
answer is, every farmer that can should cooperate by 
planting the best variety obtainable. We recommend your 
planting a new variety called ‘“‘Richland.” This variety 
is about ten days earlier than most of the standard 
varieties and is of very high oil content, stands straight, 
pods very heavily, and is an especially desirable bean 
for good ground. It is suited for growing for seed pro- 
duction in southern and south central corn zones, and 
for hay production in southern, south central and central 
corn zones. The height is 30 to 35 inches. Color is light 
yellow with brown hilum. Sheds leaves earlier than other 
varieties. Stands well where others lodge, and outyields 
most other varieties from 1 to 5 bushels per acre. Prices 
given on special yellow list. 
Manchu 
This popular variety is especially recommended for the 
Northwest for hay, dry beans, as well as planting with 
corn for silage. Beans are yellow, of medium size and 
mature medium early. Yields of beans will average 
around 25 bushels to the acre. See special yellow list 
a SPELTZ 
While not quite equal to oats, it makes a fair horse feed. 
It yields more than wheat or barley and even the straw 
if cut slightly green has a good amount of feeding value. 
Prices are given on special field seed price list. 
SORGHUM 
As a soiling crop, sorghum will always prove of great 
value, since at least two crops can be obtained from one 
sowing. Milch cows are exceptionally fond of sorghum. 
It is excellent for milk production and a given area fur- 
nishes a large quantity of succulent food. Sorghum 
outyields fodder corn, producing a richer and more nu- 
via feed of greater value. Prices given on special 
list.

FIELD CORN 
Seed corn is without a doubt the most particular seed 
crop to be handled of any farm seeds. And it is very 
important that it receive the care and attention that it 
should have. Should a man take a chance on planting 
inferior seed corn and be obliged to replant a second 
time, his labor would be worth more than the original 
cost of reliable seed corn. 
Hybrid Corn 
Hybrid seed corn is a first generation cross between 
inbred strains. Inbred strains are developed by continual 
inbreeding of selected plants for several generations over 
a period of better than 10 years. Yields of hybrid planted 
seed corn will average from 7 to_11 bushels per acre 
higher than the regular varieties. Hybrids possess great- 
er resistance to lodging, greater resistance to drought 
and considerable higher shelling percentages. 
Kingscrost Hybrid Minn. 100 Day Seed Corn 
This remarkable hybrid improvement represents eight 
years of extensive research aimed at a superior develop- 
ment for the 100 to 105 maturity zone. In maturity it 
compares favorably with standard strains of the variety 
Minnesota 18. Kingscrost KS attained the seemingly 
impossible by combining into one hybrid a rare stalk 
breakage resistance, high yield, and earliness of matur- 
ity. No longer is it necessary for northern corn belt 
farmers to risk the hazards of growing later hybrids 
for the increased yield. Kingscrost KS developed on an 
entirely new hybridizing principle has demonstrated in 
official state trials that it can yield and surpass in stand- 
ability leading hybrids which are aS much as ten days 
later in maturity. Prices given on special yellow list. 
Gould’s Reliable Yellow Dent 
Gould’s Reliable Yellow Dent is an improved strain of 
Minnesota No. 13, having been selected for several years 
before it was offered for sale, with the result that it is 
larger and earlier than the Minnesota No. 13. Prices are 
given on special list. 
Minnesota No. 13 
Is so well known that it is unnecessary to devote any 
space to its description. It is the standard yellow dent 
for Minnesota, produces a nice uniform ear of fairly good 
size and maturing about September ist. See special field 
seed list for prices. 
Hybrid Silo 107 days 
Here is a corn for silage that will give you a maximum 
of yield. The quality of the ear corn and foliage is un- 
surpassed, and of the highest feeding value. Prices listed 
on yellow price list. 
Gould’s Reliable Red Cob Fodder 
Is a tall growing southern corn that will produce an 
abundance of feed per acre. The kernel is white and 
grows on a red cob, thus deriving its name. Prices given 
on special field seed price list. 
N. K. & Co.’s Elephant Fodder 
Of the yellow dent type, but grows taller and more leafy 
than the average yellow dent corn, therefore producing 
a very heavy yield. See yellow price list for prices. 
RAPE 
Dwarf Essex 
Rape is one of the surest crops for late pasturing. Is 
relished by hogs, sheep and cattle. It may be sown as 
late as July ist, and produce a very fine fall pasture. 
Prices given on special field seed price list. 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian 
Are especially useful in the poultry run, as the large 
leaves furnish shade for young chicks; also, the seeds 
make a good addition to the poultry ration. They are 
very rich in oil and protein and are splendid to feed 
during the moult and winter months. They are also 
valuable for hogs. Prices given on yellow price list. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Buckwheat can be sown as late as July and still pro- 
duce a crop, or it may also be plowed under for soiling. 
Sow % to 1 bushel per acre, as late as possible, and 
still have crop well developed before severe frosts occur. 
Light, well-drained soils are best for this crop. 
Japanese 
Will produce a larger growth and will stand dry weather 
better than any other variety. The kernel is large, dark 
brown and matures very early. Refer to field seed price 
list for prices.
