Grow More Feed Grain 
WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES: A later variety 
than Cornell 11. Produces more tons of green weight 
but cannot be depended upon to fully ripen under 
most New York State conditions. Sweepstakes is 
adapted for silage in this state. The ears are 10 to 
12 inches long, bearing 12 to 14 rows of large kernels. 
Most of the kernels are red. However, this variety 
always produces a few ears with yellow kernels. 
1 peck $1.50; % bu. $2.50; bu. $4.00; 2 bu. $7.75. 
IMPROVED LEAMING: A popular silage corn. Too 
late to ripen in most sections of New York State 
except under very favorable conditions. Stalk is tall, 
ears large, kernels yellow. 1 peck 90 cts.; % bu. 
$1.75; bu. $3.00; 2 bu. $5.75. 
JONES EARLY YELLOW FLINT: A new very 
early eight-rowed flint that has been developed over 
a period of thirty years by H. L. Jones of Oswego, 
New York. Stalks 7 to 8 feet high; very leafy. 
Many stalks produce two ears. Ears 8 to 10 inches 
long. Cob very small. Kernels medium wide, 
attractive amber yellow color. Shells very heavy. 
Matures in 80 to 90 days from planting. Very uni- 
form in ripening. 1 peck $1.50; 1% bu. $2.50; bu. 
$4.00; 2 bu. $7.75.

“On the farm of George W. Bargabos located on the Collamer- 
Bridgeport Road, Onondaga County, N. Y., corn is King. This 
past fall he had 55 acres of 29-3 hybrid field corn.” (From Nov. 
4th issue of Better Farms.) Mr. Bargobas has for years been one 
of our valued customers. We are pleased to feel that our efforts 
in seed production have helped him to make an enviable record. 
CERTIFIED LENROC 
OATS 
A new heavy yielding white oat. This new variety 
was introduced by Cornell University Agricultural 
Experiment Station in 1935 and originated from a 
cross made in 1918. 
Lenroc is slightly taller than Cornellian, with white 
kernels which are similar in shape to Cornellian but 
somewhat larger and more plump. The hull is a little 
heavier but the percentage of meat nearly the same. 
It has proved equal or better in production than 
Cornellian and is superior in color because of the 
white kernels. Certified Seed: 1 to 15 bu. $1.40 
per bu.; 15 bu. or more $1.35 per bu., Not pre- 
paid. 



This past summer at the last cultivation we seeded 80 acres of 
sweet corn with Domestic Rye Grass. To do this with the least 
amount of labor we rigged up a grass seed box, taken from an old 
grain drill, on the back of the tractor cultivator. This was all new 
to us and we had to do some experimenting on the rate of seeding. 
We put on different applications from 15 to 25 pounds per acre. 
20 pounds per acre seems to be about the right seeding. 
The Rye Grass came up but made little growth until the corn was 
mature. From then on the growth was rapid. It seems to grow 
in cold weather better than any cover crop we have used. The 
above picture was taken in early November. 
As a cover crop the Rye Grass prevents erosion, holds nitrogen and 
provides humus. We believe dairymen could profit by sowing 
Domestic Rye grass at the last cultivation of silage corn for 
late fall and early winter pasture. We expect to increase the use 
of Rye Grass on our farms in 1943. 
Domestic Rye Grass Seed: 10 to 20 lbs., 15 cts. per lb.; 20 to 100 
lbs., 14 cts. per lb., prepaid; 100 lbs. or over, 12 cts. per lb., not 
prepaid. 
CERTIFIED ALPHA 
BARLEY 
2 to 2% bu. will sow | acre 
The most popular two-rowed variety in the East. 
Alpha is a heavy producing large kerneled barley 
with fairly stiff straw. Ripens a little later than the 
six row varieties; heads do not crinkle and break off. 
This makes it especially desirable for sowing with 
oats or harvesting with combine. Certified Seed: 
1 to 10 bu. $1.85 per bu.; 10 bu. or more $1.80 per 
bu., Not prepaid.
