_ 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 Early 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.

~MARQUIS WHEAT 
Marquis is a hard, red spring  wheat,# 
grading No. 1 Northern, which brings the top ; 
price. The grains are short and thick and very & 
plump, making it very attractive in appearance, 
Tt is a strictly beardless wheat with long heads 
and it has a very stiff, strong straw of good 
length. It ripens ahead of other spring varieties,

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 Common. 
Write for 
JAPANESE. Large, of dark brown color. 
Higher in market than Common. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 80c, post- 
paid. By freight: Pk., 60c; bu. (50 lbs.), $2.00;

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- 
eluded 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. 
Prices, Fancy Northern, by mail: Lb., 30c; 5 
Ibs., $1.25, postpaid. By freight: Pk., $1.40; 
bu., $4.25; 3 bus. at $4.20. 
COMMON FLAX. Good, clean, bright seed. 
Recommended for growing on soils that have 
not previously grown a crop of Flax. 
Prices, by freight: Pk., $1.35; bu., $4.10; 3 
bus. at $4.05.

A Field of Spring Wheat. 
RIVAL WHEAT 
A popular northwestern bearded wheat devel- 
oped by the North Dakota Experiment Station. 
It is rust and smut resistant and also highly heat 
resistant. A few days later than’ Thatcher, but 
taller and a heavier yielder. Grain is large, 
plump, and fine for milling. Rival is taking the 
place of Thatcher which we formerly listed.

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 30 to 40 bushels per acre. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 20c; 5 Ibs., 75c, post- 
paid. By freight: Pk., 60c; bu., $1.85; 10 bus.

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.

WINTER 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 
prices in August. 
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 mix- 
ture recommended by leading 
county agents is % bushel each of 
Field Peas, State’s Pride Oats, 
Barbless Barley and Progress 
Wheat.

OLDS’ SPRING WHEAT 
STURGEON WHEAT 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 27-4. 
_A new wheat for Wisconsin which will out- 
yield and produce a heavier percentage of flour 
yield than either 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 
at the Peninsula Branch Experi- 
at Sturgeon Bay. Progress was 
Marquis 
Station 
and 
ment 
» used because of its resistance to stem rust and 
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 
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- 
making wheat, equal to Marquis in that im- 
portant character. 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 
This wheat is used entirely for feed and is 
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.

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.

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.
