OLDS’ SPRING W 
PROGRESS WHEAT 
(Wisconsin Pedigree No. 1611.) 
Progress is one of the most popular of spring 
wheat for Wisconsin. The outstanding feature 
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.

~ 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.

MARQUIS WHEAT 
Marquis is a hard, red spring wheat, grading 
No. 1 Northern, which brings the top price. The 
grains are short and thick and very plump, mak- 
ing it very attractive in appearance. It is a 
strictly .beardless wheat with long heads and it 
has a very stiff, strong straw of good length. It 
ripens ahead of other spring varieties.

WINTER WHEAT 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 2 
Hardiest and best winter wheat. 
prices in August. 
FLAX 
(Sow 50 to 75 pounds to the acre.) 
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. 
REDSON FLAX 
Redson igs a new variety of flax which has 
been approved for certified seed production by 
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture and the 
Wisconsin Experiment Association. It has spe- 
cial merit with respect to yield and quantity of 
oil. In tests in Wisconsin and a number of 
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.

A Field of Henry Wheat 
HENRY WHEAT 
WISCONSIN’S NEWEST CONTRIBUTION 
TO AGRICULTURE 
Henry Wheat will mean to this crop what Vic- 
land Oat has meant to that grain. Henry Wheat 
should eliminate the bad wheat years just as 
Vicland has eliminated the bad Oat years. It 
was named after William Arnon Henry, first 
dean of the College of Agriculture and director 
of the Experiment Station at Wisconsin, It was 
developed by Prof. R. G. Shands in a co-opera- 
tive grain-breeding project of the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station and the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture, by a series of crosses made at the 
Wisconsin Station between 1929 and 1933, with 
the final parents being a cross of Illinois No. 
1 x Hope and a selection from Webster x Resaca. 
This crosS was stabilized through pedigree se- 
lection and in 1938 the offspring of a single 
plant was selected for the new variety. Six years 
of testing has shown that Henry Wheat is highly 
resistant to leaf rust, the most serious disease 
of wheat in Wisconsin. It is also quite resistant 
to black stem rust and to bunt or stinking smut. 
In tests in the last three years, Henry outyielded 
Sturgeon, Wisconsin’s highest yielding spring 
wheat up to that time, by 23% and the older 
by considerably more. Henry is a 
bearded Spring Wheat with large wide heads. 
The straw is moderately stiff and about as tall 
as Sturgeon and will ripen along with Marquis 
Wheat or about 5 days later than Vi¢land Oats. 
The kernels are medium red in color, slightly 
softer in texture than Marquis and larger than 
any other Spring Wheat. Because of the large 
kernels it should be seeded heavier. It is pri- 
marily a feed wheat, but is also satisfactory for 
baking. 
Prices: Wisconsin Certified W Brand, sealed 
in 214% bu. bags, per bag, $11.80. Bags free. 
Supply is limited. 
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, producing or- 
dinarily 30 to 40 bushels per acre.

WHITE CANADA 
FIELD PEAS 
White Canada is the best 
known and most popular va- 
riety of field peas. Sow 1 to 
1% bushels per acre broadcast 
with the same amount of oats. 
Another good mixture recom- 
mended by leading county 
agents is 4% bushel. each of

HEAT 
STURGEON WHEAT 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 27-4. 
Sturgeon Wheat originated at the Peninsula 
Branch Experiment Station at Sturgeon Bay by 
crossing Progress and Marquis. Progress was 
used because of its resistance to stem rust and 
Marquis for its bread making value. It is re- 
sistant to stem rot and equal to Marquis as a 
baking wheat. It matures early and _is a heavy 
yielder. Very popular in Northern Wisconsin. 
Prices, Standard Seed, by mail: Lb., 25c;, 5 
lbs., $1.00, postpaid. By freight: Pk., $1.00; 
bu., $3.00; 3 bus. at $2.95 per bu. Sacks free. 
RED DURUM WHEAT 
This wheat is used entirely for feed and is 
not a milling wheat. It is a heavy yielding rust- 
proof Durum Wheat and is excellent for poultry. 
A very early variety that will ripen with oats 
making it excellent for succotash. 
Prices, Fancy Northern, by mail: Lb., 25c; 5 
lbs., $1.00, postpaid. By freight: Pk., 95c; bu. 
$2.80; 3 bus. at $2.75 per bu. Sacks free. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Sow buckwheat from June 10 to July 10, one 
bushel (50 Ibs.) per acre. : 
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, 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. Large, of dark 
brown color. Higher in market than Common. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 30c; 5 Ibs., $1.20, post- 
paid. By freight: Pk., 90c; bu. (50 Ibs.), $2.75; 
3 bus. at $2.70 per bu. Sacks free. 
COMMON BUCKWHEAT. Prices by freight: 
Pk., 85c; bu:, $2.60; 3 bus, at $2.55 per bu. 
Sacks free. 
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. 
Prices: By “mail, oz., 10cs 44 Ib:, 25c: 
65c; 5 Ilbs., $3.00, postpaid. By freight: 
Ibs., $3.30; 100 Ibs., $29.00. Sacks free. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Dwarf Essex Rape makes a quick pasture and 
is very valuable feed. 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; seed 
that is entirely free from bird rape, mustard and 
everything of that sort. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.75, post- 
paid. By freight: 10 Ibs., $2.60; 100 Ibs.,
