BETTER GRAIN AND FORAGE 
- Oats, Barley, Peas and Mixtures 
These are the varieties that have proved best in New York and 
adjacent areas. 
LENROC OAT - Best for the Northeastern States. It has averaged 
2 to 5 bushels more than other station developed varieties and usually 
yields 5 to 15 bushels more than most varieties from the Central West. 
Tree type; tall strong straw; white, medium size kernels; thin husk. 
Most oat growers in New York and near-by will do best with 
Lenrocs (in certain cases Uprights) and no better seed is available 
than that from Quaker Hill Farm. 
UPRIGHT OAT - Outstands all others. Safest and most profitable 
on rich or low land where other varieties might lodge. On lighter or 
poorer soils Upright yields about 5 bushels less than Lenroc. On rich 
ground Upright is safer and better than Lenroc or any other oat 
available. Tree type; tall, very strong straw; large, white kernels. 
If your oats usually lodge, Upright will solve the problem. 
VICLAND OAT -A rust and smut resistant high yielding oat 
developed recently by Wisconsin plant breeders. Tree type; short, 
very stiff straw. Small, yellow, thin hulled, heavy kernels. Early 
maturing, an advantage in late or hot seasons. Best yielder in Wis- 
consin; performed well in East last two seasons. 
VICTORY OAT - Usually heaviest and best looking. Formerly a 
leader in Eastern yield tests. Now very popular in Western States. 
Tree type; short plump white kernels; large meat; good straw. Later 
than the others. 
ALPHA. BARLEY - Best. two rowed barley for Northeastern 
States. Wide adaptation, excellent straw, large kernels, high yields. 
Best for mixtures with oats. Best for milk production but not for beer. 
Stands better after ripening than other kinds. Best for combining. 
Threshes cleaner. Its beards are barbed but not uncomfortably so. 
WISCONSIN 38 BARLEY - Highest yielding, six rowed barley. 
Smooth bearded. Little later than Alpha but can be grown satisfac- 
torily with Lenroc and Upright oats. Straw shorter and weaker than 
Alpha but better than other barleys. Kernels medium. Best sub- 
stitute for Alpha in Northeast. 
WHITE CANADIAN FIELD PEAS - One of the best in yield of 
grain and vine growth. Grown in West to escape blight infection. 
Blight infected seed is unsafe. Peas require inoculation, high lime 
soil, cool climate, early and shallow planting. 
GRAIN MIXTURES - We offer Lenroc oats and Alpha barley, 
with or without field peas, in proper proportions. These high 
yielders, ripening nearly together, often yield more than one alone and 
make better feed. 
GREEN FEED OR HAY MIXTURES - Oats and peas make a 
very nutritious green feed or hay that cattle relish. A patch handy to 
the lane or pasture is worth a lot when pastures dry up. Our mixture 
of Upright oats and disease free peas yield considerably more forage 
than other varieties. ;

Special Forage Crops 
WILD WHITE CLOVER - Best clover for permanent pastures and 
lawns. Recommended by Cornell pasture experts and approved in Soil 
Conservation program. Hardier and more productive than White 
Dutch. Flowers less, spreads rapidly, makes denser sward and pas- 
turage richer in protein. Also increases growth of other pasture 
plants by supplying nitrogen and keeping soil cooler and more moist 
by the mulching effect of its dense growth. Inoculate with Nitragin B. 
In a Cornell test, Kentucky Blue Grass plus Wild White Clover 
~ produced five times as much feed as Kentucky Blue Grass alone. Seed 
only one pound per acre, preferably in Cornell Special Pasture Mix- 
ture, or if no better way, broadcast on established pasture, when 
ground is honeycombed with frost. Mix the seed with fine sand or 
other carrier to help sow evenly. 
WILD BIRD’S FOOT TREFOIL - Two types of this plant have 
been discovered in Eastern New York. The broad leaf type grows 
like alfalfa: with a deep feeding taproot and a crown with many 
shoots; and it equals alfalfa in productivity and feeding value. But 
unlike alfalfa it can produce on wet and on acid soils and‘is more 
winter hardy and longer lived. It is hardier also than any of the 
commercial strains. This wild Bird’s Foot Trefoil is that long sought 
ae for alfalfa on the more acid soils of the Northeastern 
ates. 
The narrow leaf type grows close to the ground and is better for 
pasture than for hay. It promises to fill the place of Wild White 
Clover for pasture mixtures on wet and acid soils. 
Early spring seeding is advised and very light covering, 4%” to not 
over %". Both types give best results when sown in mixture with 
supporting plants. For hay, sow 5 lbs. of the broad leaf type with 8 
Ibs. Timothy or 4 lbs. Red Top. For pasture, sow 4 to 8 lbs. either 
type with 15 lbs. Ky. Blue, Canada Blue or Orchard Grass or a mix- 
ure. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS- Strongly recommended for winter 
cover crop after vegetables, corn, tobacco, etc. Proved superior to rye, 
sweet clover and other crops. Seed is cheap, catches well, interferes 
little with main crop, is satisfactorily winter hardy, makes surprising-

stubble. Covering seed should be done very lightly if at all. Sowing 
should be done by winter wheat planting time. Early sowing affords 
fall pasture. If not spring plowed, it may be pastured then or cut 
for hay or threshed for seed. 
SUDAN GRASS-The dairymen’s friend. Sudan makes pasture, 
green feed, hay or silage that dairy cattle relish and respond to won- 
derfully. Sow from corn planting time to July 1st,5to8lbs.peracrein _

turns high. More dairymen should provide Sudan Grass and avoid 
the summer slump in milk production. ; 
LADINO WHITE CLOVER - Most valuatio recent addition to our 
forage crops. A giant type white clover similar to Wild White in 
spreading habit, palatability and being a perennial, but growing large 
enough to be used for hay. Recommended in hay seedings where 2nd 
growth is to be pastured or where the field is to be mowed for a year 
or two and then pastured for a time. It is used in Cornell Utility and 
General Purpose Mixtures, 1 lb. per A. This small seeding produces 
good yields of pasture or hay ‘several years after Red and Alsike clov- 
ers have run out. Ladino yields well on many fields not adapted to 
alfalfa or wild white clover and deserves wider use as a substitute for ‘Sa 
them in hay and pasture mixtures. Orchard Grass and Timothy com- | 
bine well with Ladino but Kentucky Blue Grass tends to run it out. 
Red and Alsike Clovers may be combined with it, Best results re- 
quire liberal fertilizing with phosphorus and potash. Use Nitragin B.
