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 these 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 STATE CERTIFIED and 
can be relied upon to be the true Vicland Oats. Write for prices. 
Soy Beans 
We are permitting our livestock to eat tomorrow’s feed today. Such 
a condition, if allowed to continue, will cause greater and greater upsets. 
We can provide some remedy ourselves and should do so without delay. 
Every suitable acre not now producing a crop should be put to work. 
Soy. Beans planted in warm soil up to July 15th can be most valuable 
crop for livestock feed. They will produce either grain or roughage high 
in protein, minerals, and vitamins. When properly inoculated, Soy Beans 
will gather abundant nitrogen from the air. 
Holmes can supply top quality seed of 4 varieties which are true to 
name, of high germination and vitality, free of weeds. 
When grown for hay, 90 lbs. per acre solid; for silage, 4 to 6 lbs. per 
acre when sown with corn; for silo, plant 60 lbs. Soys to 15 lbs. Sudan; 
for seed drill 40 lbs. or 90 Ibs. sown solid. (60 lbs. per bushel.) 
EARLIANA. 4 dsys earlier than Richland and 10 days earlier than 
Lincoln in maturity, is especially adapted in northern Ohio where 
Wheat is to be sown after Soy Beans are combined. It yields about the 
same as Richland, is more suitable for combining than Richland. 
Write for price. 
RICHLAND. Medium early variety should be used for grain in Northern 
Ohio and areas with similar length of growing season. It is a good 
variety for hay throughout Ohio. Write for price. 
LINCOLN. Matures about one week later than Richland. In 21 tests in 
Ohio, in over a period of 4 years, 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 price.

ensilage. Plant tall, tending to twine. Write for price.
