Richland Oats.

We bought two carloads of these soy beans from one big 
¥ grower about 90 miles from Chicago. He harvested between 
a. 5000 and 6000 bushels last fall. They averaged about 30 
af bushels per acre. Mr. Kelly, who owned this farm, had been 
erowing Richlands for 4 years. On this big farm_ he had 
srown Dunfield, Wlini and Manchu. He said he would rather 
have Richland Soy Beans if the seed cost $1.00 bushel more 
than other varieties. They are the surest and best: crop. 
Are Early Lodge Resistant 
The Richland was developed by the Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station at Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. They are 
about the same size as the Illini or Manchu. The oil con-

on any kind of soil. Not quite as tall as the Marion Oats. 
These Oats do not run out. Use the Oats you, grow for seed 
next year and they will last for a number of years if you will 
grade your seed and sow good heayy seed. In normal years 
will weigh recleaned 35 to 37 Ibs. Pretty heavy for early oats. 
At the Iowa State Experiment Stations at Ames and, Kanawha, 
Iowa, during a five year period, the Tama Oats. outyielded 
other new well Known varieties. Beat one variety that has an 
official record in Illinois of over 100 bu. per acre. It doesn’t 
take any more land and very little extra labor to grow Tama 
Oats that will outyield some of the old varieties 10 to 20 bu, 
per acre. The extra yield will pay for the seed and then some.

quite as tall as other yellow beans, 
they were easier to combine. 
Early Maturing 
They are one of the earliest maturing. About 6 to 9 days 
earlier than other yellow beans. In 1942, when there was bad 
weather in the fall, the Richland Soy Beans were about the 
only beans that matured. You can combine the Richland a 
week earlier. In the past year there has been an enormous 
demand for the Richland. Farmers, are turning to Richland 
and they will move fast. The quality is fine. Price: 1 bu, 
$3.20; 5 bu, $3.15 bu.; 15 bu, $3.10 bu.

Several farmers told us 

Here is a Hybrid with a real pedigree. It is quite 
evident other Hybrid Corn companies have been mar- 
keting this fine Hybrid under different names or num- 
bers. Its true pedigree is (WF9 x Hy) (A x 4 by) _and 
it is a dandy Hybrid. It has stiff stalks, medium height, 
disease resistance to common organisms. Among Hy- 
; brids of similar maturity, Indiana 608 is among the 
top of all Hybrids grown in some locations In that 
state. It yields 100.9 bu. per acre in northern Indiana 
state test. When Hybrid gets an official test that high, 
it has to be a dandy. 
Where Adapted 
The last few years Indiana 608 has been very popu- 
lar in Towa, especially in central Iowa and north cen- 
tral part of that state. For Illinois, plant in the north- 
ern half anywhere within 40 miles of the Wisconsin 
line. Indiana anywhere in central and northern part 
of the state, except in northern tier of counties. Any- 
where in Ohio south of line 40 miles from northern part 
of state. Good for most of Pennsylvania, West Vir- 
ginia and on East.’ Does well on medium poor soil. 
This Indiana 608 was produced under expert super- 
vision and has what it takes to produce a real corn 
crop. Price: Flat grains, $7.00 Bu.; Round grains, 
$5.50 Bu.
