~ CROP—SPRING SPECIAL _ 
50 Ibs. $4.15—100 Ibs. $8.25—500 Ibs. $40.75. 
It puts all other forage crops in the shade. Sudan will not back up for any crop 
grown for a summer feed. : 
When your pastures are getting short and your geed supply is getting low along 
toward the latter part of July and August, Sudan grass can be depended upon to 
pull you through. Most any kind of stock will eat it, but it is especially relished 
by horses and cattle. 
Quick Summer Profit 
It is mighty profitable to sow a patch of Sudan if it is too late to sow any other 
hay or grain crop. While it is best to sow about cornplanting time or a week later, 
Sudan can be grown with wonderful results as late as the middle of July. When 
sown during the month of May, it will produce a crop of hay running from five to 
eight tons in about six or seven weeks. A nice big crop of green hay would come 
in mighty handy about this time. It is good practice to cut as soon as the heads 
begin to appear. The second crop comes along much faster than the first and under 
ordinary conditions is ready for the second cutting in about 30 to 40 days. 
Equals Alfalfa as a Milk Producer. 
Practically all of the thousands of farmers in a radius of 150 miles of Chicago, 
who supply the milk for the two and one-half million people in the great city of 
Chicago, grow Sudan for their dairy herd. It has been proven time and again that 
Sudan grass will increase the flow of milk 25 per cent to 50 per cent. This should 
convince you that this wonderful emergency crop should be grown by you this year. 
It will increase your income. Only half crop seed in 1944. Seed scarce. Order now. 
“LINCOLN SOY BEANS” 
Genuine Certified and Tagged 
Here is that new wonderful soy bean you have been reading about in the farm 
papers. Lincoln Soy Beans are taking the country by storm. Here is the story in a 
nutshell. The Lincoln variety is a selection from a natural cross, made at Ill. Agr. 
Experiment Station. Seed is slightly larger than the Illini. Usually three seeds in 
a pod on fertile soil. Has white flowers instead of purple. Yields larger than other 
yellow varieties. In six year official tests in Iowa, Ill., Wis., Mich., Ohio, Va., Mo. 
and Nebr. in each individual year the Lincoln outyielded the Illini and Dunfield 5.2 
bushels or 18.6 percent. Lincoln has a higher oil content (21.8) than most of all well 
known varieties. It lodges less than most varieties. Is taller than Richland. Is 
earlier than Illini and Dunfield. One of my friends who lives in Indiana about 110 
miles southeast of Chicago, sold us several hundred bushels of these Certified Lincoln 
Soy Beans. He told me he planted 26 pounds per acre and obtained a yield of 36 
bushels per acre. I know him to be honest and reliable. Another farmer reported 
planting 3 pecks and a yield of 40 bushels per acre. There was a limited acreage; 
not enough to take care of the demand. We have to limit orders to not over 20 
bushels. We want to take care of more customers. PRICE—1 Bu. $5.30; 6 Bu. 
$5.20 Bu.; 12 Bu. $5.15 Bu. 
“EARLYANA SOY BEANS’ 
New Early Variety—CERTIFIED 
Matures 7 days earlier than the early Richland. Official reports show it received 
the same systematic selection and testing that is accorded all plant selections of 
known hybrid origin. Harlyana was developed by the Purdue University Agr. 
Exp. Station. 
Earlyana grows as tall as the Richland. Matures about 10 to 12 days earlier than 
the Illini and Dunfield. Is earlier than Wis. Manchu 3 and Wis. Manchu 606. The 
oil content compares favorably with Illini and Richland, but has a higher percentage 
of protein. Average yield is larger than most of the other early varieties. Is 
adapted to a wide range of soil conditions. The seed is about the same size as 
Illini. The seed has a brown speck at one end of the hilum, 
Start growing these sensational soy beans. There will be a big demand for the 
next few years. They can be sown in north central Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and 
Ohio. As far north as central Wisconsin, Michigan and southern part of New York. 
Can be sown late in the season. Our stock limited. May have to ration them before 
end of season. PRICE—1 Bu. $4.90; 6 Bu. $4.80 Bu.; 12 Bu. $4.75 Bu,
