OLDS’ SPRING WHEAT 
(Sow 90 to 120 pounds to the acre.) 
HENRY WHEAT 
Henry Wheat will mean to this crop what Vicland 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 developed by Prof. R. 
G. Shands in a co-operative grain-breeding project of the Wisconsin Ex- 
periment Station and the U, 8S. 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 W Tes cea sa. Six years of testing has shown that Henry 
: < mee Wheat is highly re- 
sistant 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 va- 
rieties by considerably 
more. Henry is a beard- 
ed spring wheat with 
large wide heads. The 
ee as ee ee straw is moderately 
A Field of Henry Wheat stiff and about as tall 
as Sturgeon and will ripen along with Marquis wheat or about five days 
later than Vicland 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 primarily 
a feed wheat, but is also satisfactory for baking.

PROGRESS WHEAT 
(Wisconsin Pedigree No. 1611.) 
Progress is one of the most popular of spring wheats 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 highest yielders. It was devel- 
oped at the Marshfield Branch Experiment Station in 1915, a selection 
from HKarly Java. The specific object in view was to get a wheat that 
would have a strong resistance to rust.

RIVAL WHEAT 
A popular northwestern bearded wheat developed 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, as it is superior to both.

Harvesting a Field of Blackhawk Wheat for Certified Seed. 
BLACKHAWK WINTER WHEAT 
Wisconsin’s Newest Contribution to Agriculture 
Blackhawk is a new variety of soft red winter wheat bred at the 
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station. It was first released in 
1944 for certified seed production in 1945. It combines a high degree 
of disease resistance with superior yielding ability and has satisfactory 
milling and baking qualities for pastry flour. The performance of this 
new winter wheat this past year was outstanding and many yields of 
over 50 bushels per acre have been reported. Certified seed only is avail- 
able. Seed is scarce so order now.

Baie OLDS’ 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 included 
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 is a new variety of flax which has been approved for certified 
seed production by the Wisconsin College of Agriculture and the Wis- 
consin Experiment Association. It has special 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 matures early. Very re- 
sistant to the wilt disease.

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 Sunflower greatly outyielded corn, 
yielding 14.4 tons of silage per acre, 
corn only 4.22 tons.

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.

BUCKWHEAT 
Sow buckwheat f-om 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 
18 more vigorous, withstands more drought, and 
produces better yields than the Common.

brown color. Higher in market than Common,
