Certified Seed Oats 
WAYNE. (Certified.) A new, medium early white oats, with stiff straw, 
developed by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, first distrib- 
uted for increase in 1930. This variety has led all others in yield trials 
at Wooster over a long period of years, and is now recommended espe- 
cially for northern and northwestern Ohio. We grew thése oats on our 
_ own farm. Write for price list. 
VICLAND. (Certified. ) This is an early maturing strain which has 
proven exceptionally well in Eastern and mid-Western fields. Vicland 
is not classed as a tall, straw variety. It gained its popularity because 
it produces well. It shows unusual resistance to stem rust and to leaf 
or crown rust and smut. Produces well-filled grains of comparatively 
thin-hulled and fine-feed value. Our seed is STATH CERTIFIED and 
can be relied upon to be the true Vicland Oats. Write for prices. 
Soy Beans 
They can be grown wherever corn can be grown; they furnish good 
forage and improve the soil. They will grow on soil too acid for clover 
and fit readily into any crop rotation. They furnish an excellent quality 
of feed, either as grain, hay or green forage, The best time for seeding 
is about corn planting time, or when the ground has become thoroughly 
warm up to July 15th. Soy beans should not be sown too deeply, as poor 
stands frequently result from too deep covering. They can be planted 
with corn, or they may be planted alone either for hay or grain, followed 
the next year with corn and wheat. Corn and soy beans grown together 
can be hogged down with profit. Soy beans are a legume, fine for soil 
improvement. They should be inoculated for best results. Good seed is 
eSsential to success. When grown for seed it requires 40 lbs. drilled or 
90 lbs. sown solid; for hay, 90 lbs. per acre solid; or for silage, 4 to 6 
lbs. per acre when sown with corn; for silo, plant 60 lbs. soy beans to 
15 lbs. sudan. (60 lbs. per bushel.) 
LINCOLN. Matures about one week later than Richland, a day or two 
later than Mingo. In 21 tests in Ohio, in over a 4-year period, Lincoln 
yielded 3 to 7 bushels more than other varieties. Superior in standing 
ability, and ranks ahead of them in quality and content of oil. Write 
for prices. 
MINGO. Yellow seeds. Medium early variety. Matures grain through- 
out Ohio and is sufficiently early to permit the making and curing of 
high quality hay in Northern Ohio. Write for price list. 
RICHLAND. Adapted for grain in Northern Ohio. Resistant to lodging, 
earlier than Mingo. Early enough to precede wheat in Northern Ohio.

WILSON. (Early Black Wilson). A medium late (120 days) variety 
which does well on the poorer types of soil. Plant tall and slender, 
tending to twine. Probaby the best known all-around sort for silage 
and hay. Write for price list. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
3 For Quick Pasture for Sheep and Hogs 
It should be sown from late March to the middle of July. It is 
ordinarily ready to graze in 7 to 10 weeks or when 12 inches high. The 
seed may be broadcast and covered lightly with a harrow or it may he 
sown with a grain drill, 4 to 8 lbs. of seed per acre, (50 lbs. per bushel.) 
Write for price list. : 
Canada Field Peas 
One of the best hay and soiling crops. Usually sown with oats, which 
makes rich, nutritious hay. Splendid to cut and feed green. Sow 90 
pounds of peas to 48 pounds of oats early in the spring. Best mixture 
all around, (60 lbs. per bushel.) Write for price list. 
Hairy Vetch | 
It makes good yields of green manure or hay, high in nitrogen or 
protein. Long-continued experiments have shown that hairy vetch makes 
a good stand more reliably than any other crop when sown in corn at 
the last cultivation. Rye may be improved by adding vetch for prac- 
tically any situation where it is used as a clover and green manure crop. 
Vetch is also a valuable addition to rye for pasture. It is not recom- 
mended for wet soils. Vetch may be sown any time after July 1. 
20 to 30 pounds of vetch to a bushel of rye has proven very satisfactory. 
Inoculation increases the yield. We furnish high-grade seed only. 
(60 lbs. per bushel.) Write for prices. 
’ 
Sorghum - Cane Seed 
EARLY ORANGE. The choicest variety, producing an abundance of 
good forage. Also excellent for syrup. Sorghum may be cut and dried, 
and fed to all farm livestock. Does well all over Ohio and the East. 
Plant 4 to 6 lbs. in rows, 40 to 50 lbs. drilled per acre. (50 lbs. per 
bushel.) Write for price list.
