about it is that it does not rust. It is a bearded, — 
hard red spring wheat, and is one of the high- 
est yielders. It was developed 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.

BUCKWHEAT 
Sow buckwheat from June’ 10 to July 10, one 
bushel (50 lbs.) per acre. ‘ es ; 
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.

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- 
cluded 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.

neighboring states, it has averaged higher in 
acre yield in most places than the best of the 
old varieties. It has a strong stand and ma- 
tures early. Very resistant to the wilt disease.

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 and Marquis which we for- 
merly listed, as it is superior to both.

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 
and Marquis at the Peninsula Branch Experi- 
ment Station at Sturgeon Bay. Progress was 
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 
tested for breadmaking. 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.

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, 
dinarily 30 to 40 bushels per acre.

WHITE WINTER RYE 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 6. 
A new strain of winter rye recently released 
producing or- 
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 if as the best in 
rye.

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.

PLANT -AN ORCHARD 
Now is the time to start an orchard or rebuild 
the old one. No farm is complete without one. 
Old orchards on many farms are badly run 
down. With need for greater food production 
new trees should be set now. They are not an 
expense but an investment that pays dividends 
for years to come. Our trees are reasonable in 
price and the quality is guaranteed. See page 29. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Dwarf Essex Rape makes a quick pasture and 
is very valuable teed. It is ideal for sheep pas- 
ture, and is also now largely sown for hogs and 
cattle. It may be sown in the following ways: 
First. In early spring, 5 to 10 pounds per. 
acre. 
Second. With spring grain or just as it be- 
gins to come up, 2 pounds per acre to provide 
pasture after harvest. 
Third. With corn just before the last culti- 
vation, 
A word about the seed. We handle only the 
best and purest Genuine Dwarf Essex;
