MISCELLANEOUS FARM SEEDS 
OATS 
CULTURE—For spring planting sow 1% to 2% bushels per acre on a well pre- 
pared seed bed as soon as possible after danger of hard freeze. In fall sow in 
poet Rg de later in the lower South, 11% to 2% bushels per acre. Cover about 
nohes. 
1276—COLUMBIA SPRING OATS—A very desirable, extremely early 
Jam oat, very similar, but, in our opinion, superior to the long popular 
rly Burt variety. Even when planted a little late, will mature before 
hot weather. Produces large, heavy, well filled heads of plump grain on 
stiff, strong stems which do not blow down easily. Sown alone or with 
rape on rich land will furnish more pasture in less time than any other 
spring crop. : 
1275—FERGUSON 922—THE BEST STRAIN OF RED RUST RESISTANT 
OATS. Planted in spring or fall. When planted in fall this oat heads the 
list in average yield per acre in a ten year test at the Rice Branch Experi- 
ment Station tests, Stuttgart, Ark. Also an excellent oat for early spring 
planting to cut when beginning to head for hay or harvesting when mature 
for grain. Rust and smut resistant; furnishing much grazing when planted 

early in fall. 


resistant to smut and rust. 
-. Heads very long, borne on stiff, storm resistant straw. Matures in the same length 
— of time as Ferguson, planted either spring or fall. 
Withstands cold and sudden changes unusually well. 
_ 1278—STANTON OATS—A new oat which has already established itself in production 
- and cold resistance. The grain is very compact, heavy, carrying little husk; very 
Stools freely, making it excellent for winter grazing. 
1274—VICTORGRAIN OATS—This oat is similar but far superior to the long popular 
Fulgrain because it is much more resistant to cold and consistently produces a much heavier 
yield of grain per acre. This has been proven in tests over the entire cotton belt. It is earlier 
maturing than red oat strains, rust and smut resistant. Straw very stiff, medium height, mak- 
' ing it one of the most storm resistant oats. The grain is plump, has low per cent of hulls, 
- therefore, has a high feeding value. Plant either fall or spring. 
+ 1277—NEW NORTEX OATS—An improved strain of the long popular Red Rust Resistant Oat, 
- which has stood right at the top in yield of grain per acre, for a number oui years in tests over 
. the entire South. An excellent oat for either Spring or Fall planting, however, if sown in the 
Spring early planting is advisable. Very winter hardy and resistant to rust and smut. They 
stool heavily furnishing an excellent spring pasture over a longer period than some of the 
earlier maturing oats. 
VETCH AND AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS 
1176-—SAND OR HAIRY VETCH—A very desirable winter 
legume used principally for soil building. Well adapted to 
all types of soil except extremely poor. Plant in cotton or 
corn middles, 20 pounds per acre, before November 1 either 
with a vetch planter or by sowing broadcast and covering 
with small harrow or middle buster. Can be turned under 
the next spring in time to plant cotton, corn, etc. Never win- 
ter kills when properly planted, and frequently doubles the 
yield of the succeeding crop if properly inoculated. A fair 
grazing and hay crop when planted with oats, beardless 
arley, etc. 
1250—AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS—Plant just as described for 
Hairy Vetch above, except use 30 to 35 pounds per acre. Like 
Vetch, it adds nitrogen equal to about 500 pounds Nitrate of 
Soda per acre when turned under at the proper time. Will 
grow on poorer soil than Vetch, but is not as winter hardy. 
Will be ready to turn under about two weeks earlier than” 
Vetch. Makes a very nutritious hay when sown with oats. 
RYE 
1265—ABRUZZI RYE—If sown on good land in late August 
or early September it will be ready for grazing in about six 
weeks, and will furnish abundant grazing for several months 
if not grazed too close. Unless wanted for grazing, do not 
sow before late September, as it may go to seed during the 
fall; late October or early November is early enough to 
sow for a grain crop. 
1267—COMMON RYE-—lIt is cheaper in price and can be 
sown from August 15 to December 15 for grazing and erosion 
control. Can be sown with no preparation in corn and other 
row crops in late August for winter and spring grazing. 
1268—-MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER 
Every Southern farm should plant some of this large headed 
variety of Sunflower for their poultry. Will produce more 
grain on medium to thin land than corn. Sow 10 Ibs. per 
acre in drills 3 feet apart and cultivate as you would corn. 
Postpaid—Pkt., 4% Ib., 15c; 1 Ib., 45c; 5 Ibs., $1.15; 10 Ibs., $2.00 
FOR QUANTITY PRICES—NOT PREPAID—See Yellow Sheet in Center of Catalozrue 
BARLEY 
1263—BEARDLESS BARLEY—It makes a quick growing, ex- 
cellent fall and winter pasture, controlling erosion unusually 
well. Also a heavy yielding grain crop especially desirable 
for hogging off since it has no beards. Barley is almost ex- 
actly equal to corn in food value and will give practically 
the same yields of grain as corn on any medium to good soil. 
Sow 1% to 2 bushels per acre. 
1262—TENN. 52 BEARDED BARLEY—An unusually heavy 
stooling and high grain yielding variety of Barley. More 
winter hardy than the Beardless varieties, therefore more 
desirable for grain production. This desirable strain of 
Bearded Barley will be very profitable to any stock raisers. 
All Barley can be sown with Crimson Clover and both will 
make almost a normal yield of seed. Can be harvested at 
same time since they ripen together and the seed are easily 
separated. 
_1264—WINTEX BEARDED BARLEY—A comparatively new 
selection which has consistently yielded more grain and 
grazing than any other barley since it was released to the 
public in 1939. Exceptionally desirable for grazing since its 
winter growth is more upright; has very large leaves and 
stools heavily. Mature plants are medium tall with very 
strong straw, large heads and the grain is noticeably large 
and very heavy. 
WHEAT 
1257—HARDIRED WHEAT—Results of tests over most of 
the South show this to be the highest producing wheat yet 
introduced in this area. This is due to its early maturity 
and resistance to rust and smut. 
1259—-COKER RED HART—A very early maturing wheat 
developed in the South for grazing and grain production. In 
many tests over the Central South this heavy stooling variety 
has consistently been the leading grain producer. Has long, 
heavy compact heads with plump grains, excellent for milling.
