OLDS' FIELD and SOY BEANS | 
(Sow 120 pounds to an acre.) 
Until a few years ago, soy beans in Wisconsin were mostly grown for hay. 
new improved early varieties they are becoming popular as a cash erop. 5 
in many ways, They yield large amounts of high protein forage, rich in food value and are 
splendid for either hay or silage. They improve the soil fertility and are equal to 8 loads of 
stable manure to the acre. They are more resistant to frost than corn and will withstand hot 
weather. They are the only legume crop that will grow on acid soil and build up the land 
and they are adapted to nearly all soils, especially sandy soil. 
fail they make a wonderful emergency crop as they can be put in late. The 
deteriorate in value when the crops stand a considerable length of time after maturity and with 
processing plants now available, it gives the farmer a splendid additional cash crop. The ground 
beans are considered better than oil meal for mixing with home grown grains to balance the 
dairy ration. 
Certified Wisconsin Soy Beans sold under the Wisconsin W Brand Label are now available in 
the following varieties: Manchu No, 606; Manchu No. 3 and Mukden, 
21, bushel new sacks which are free, 
WISCONSIN MANCHU NO. 606 SOY 
BEAN 
This is a selection of Manchu made at the 
Spooner Branch Experiment Station. About a 
week earlier in maturing than Manchu No, 3 
and the earliest and best for seed production in 
the northern parts of Wisconsin. The yellow 
beans and the plant are similar to Manchu. 
Prices, by freight: Wisconsin Certified W 
Brand. Sealed in 21%, bu. bags, $9.35 per bag; 
8 bags (7% bus.), $9.10 per bag. Bags free. 
Standard Stock, by freight: 1% pk., 60c; pk.,

WISCONSIN MANCHU NO, 3 SOY 
BEAN 
A selection by the Wisconsin Experiment As- 
sociation of the Manchu Soy Bean. In appear- 
ance it resembles the Manchu. We think it the 
best medium season soy bean. It ranks as the 
best in this section for quality and vield. Its 
high oil content makes it a desirable commercial 
soy bean. Good seed production in southern 
Wisconsin.

MICHELITE. A white navy bean, developed 
by the Michigan State College of Agriculture Ex- 
periment Station, It is a cross between Early 
Prolific, a white bean of unusual good quality, 
and Robust, a disease resistant white navy bean 
previously developed at that station. It combines 
the good features of both parents; resistance to 
Mosaic, resistance to field infection of bacterial 
blight or wilt and vigorous productivity. Its 
remarkable quality by its uniformity in size, 
shape and its glossy white seed coat combined 
with its great yielding ability makes Michelite 
superior to all other varieties as a commercial 
bean. The Wisconsin Experiment Association 
had Michelite in trial with commercial strains 
and Great Northern at the Hancock Station and 
it outyielded all other varieties in test from 2 
to 6 bus. per acre, and was 2 to 3 days earlier, 
Prices: Yo lb., 20c; 1b., 30c, postpaid. By

ILLINi SOY BEAN 
Tllini, a yellow variety, was developed at the 
Illinois Experiment Station from the old A. K. 
We sell nearly as many Illini as Manchu, It 
seems to grow a little taller than Manchu, giving 
a heavier yield while in season it is hardly any 
later. Some think it is even earlier, Just as de- 
sirable in every other way and we would say 
better for hay in Wisconsin than Manchu,

POSTPAID SOY BEAN PRICES: 1 1b., any variety, 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
MUKDEN SOY BEAN 
A new stiff stem yellow variety introduced by the University 
of Iowa, which will mature in about 105 growing days for seed 
production. It looks promising although it does not seem quite 
as early as the Manchu No. 3. Its stiff growing habits make it a 
desirable variety for silage. The yield of beans is probably a 
little less than Manchu No. 8 and the hay yields about the same. 
Prices, Wisconsin Certified W Brand. Sealed in 2'-bu. bags: 
$9.85 per bag; 3 bags (71% bu.), $9.10 per bag. Bags free.

SUDAN GRASS 
(Sow 35 pounds to an acre.) 
Sudan Grass is proving a taighty valuable crop for Wisconsin, 
Sudan Grass is a good emergency hay crop, No crop quite equals 
Sudan Grass for a late pasture and hay crop. 
Here are five reasons why Sudan Grass is of such great value: 
First—Vield. It makes a heavy yield of hay, outranking all 
the millets in yield per acre. Yields of two to four tons of cured 
hay per acre from one cutting are common <in Wisconsin, Two 
cuttings a season can often be made. 
Second—Quality. It makes a better quality hay than millet. 
Tt makes wonderful hay grown with soy beans and helps to cure 
them. 
Third—Late Sowing. It can be sown late, after you are 
through with your corn, or when corn fails, Sow any time from 
May 20th to June 20th, or even a little later, Do not sow too 
early. It is strictly a warm weather crop and if put in too early 
the seed will rot.. Sow not less than 35 pounds of seed per acre 
and a drill is better than a seeder for putting it in. 
Fourth—Drought Resistant. It withstands long periods of 
drought continuing to grow when most everything else is dried up. 
Fifth—Quack Killer. It is valuable as a smother crop, espe- 
cially for quack and Canada thistle. 
In addition to all the above five good qualities and most im- 
portant of all Sudan Grass can be pastured, After the hay crop 
is taken off it makes a fine late pasture as it grows up again 
quickly. Or, it can be pastured all the season instead of being 
cut for hay. It is also great for late pasture. Sown the last. of 
May or first of June it is ready the middle of July when the blue 
grass pasture is dried up. 
We recommend Sudan Grass most highly. It grows quickly, 
produces enormously and is an easy crop to handle, It is strictly 
an annual, dying at the end of the season. 
Prices: Lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. By freight: 10 Ibs., 
$1.40; 100 lbs., $10.00. Sacks included.
