HOFFMAN CANADA PEAS 
For early green feed. And rich hay when ordinary 
pasture is sparse. Makes splendid feed for cattle, 
sheep and hogs. Besides being palatable, protein 
content is very high. Makes a nutritious feed read- 
ily taken to. Plant very early in spring. Growth 
is rapid, giving you a green feed when others are 
just getting started. Many farmers prefer sowing 
Canada Peas with oats. The oats support the vines, 
make an even more palatable combination than 
peas alone. As a combination, use 1% bushels of 
each per acre. First drill peas 3 to 3/2 inches deep. 
Then drill oats 12 to 2 inches deep. Pasture when 
about one foot high. Feed gradually at first to 
avoid bloating. To avoid trampling by stock, many 
folks mow Canada Peas, feeding it green, or make 
it into hay. After cutting, a new growth will ap- 
pear, for a later crop of feed or pasture. 
As early green pasture for hogs, mix one bushel 
Canada Peas, 1 bushel Oats, 3 to 4 pounds Rape 
and 7 to 10 pounds Sweet Clover or Alfalfa per 
acre. This high protein pasturage is relished by 
hogs. Sow early in the spring, in hog runs. 
Growth is rapid, and is ready for forage when 9 
to 10 inches high. 
Do not confuse Canada Peas with Cow Peas, 
which do not have the same nutritional value and 
should not be planted with Oats. 

Did the Local Ration Board supply points for these 4- 
legged members of the “family”? This feeder knew the 
time was coming when his young stock had to have cer- 
tain feed. He made sure. He grew it himself! Proper 
planning was done ... in advance ... and in time. 
And the necessary feed was there. And went into good

“WISCONSIN 38” (VELVET) BARLEY 
For the folks who sow barley either as a grain 
or nurse crop, this is the most popular variety. It 
is a heavy grain yielder (grain is similar to corn 
in feeding value). Grows smooth beards—without 
the sharp barbs. This early maturing variety also 
produces straw of good length. As a nurse crop 
for Alfalfa or Canada Peas, it gives the young 
grass full support and the benefit of all possible 
moisture. 
“WISCONSIN PEDIGREE” BARLEY 
A well-liked, bearded, 6-row type. Tall; vigorous 
grower. Straw of good stiffness. Yields well year 
after year. 
“SPARTON” (2-ROW) BARLEY 
Good-yielding, bearded variety developed in 
Michigan. Well adapted also for Northern Penn- 
sylvania. Medium maturity. Stands well.
