Field or Stock Peas 
Field Peas are an important class of Legumes and 
should be more generally planted. Valuable for hay 
crop or fertilizer. Field Peas are usually grown with 
Oats, for hay, a combination equal in feeding value 
to clover hay. They contain more digestible crude 
protein and fat than Alfalfa and Corn. When grown 
with oats, they are threshed together, and easily 
separated with a fanning after threshing. Drill the 
Peas in four inches deep, as early as the ground can 
be worked at the rate of 90 to 100 pounds per acre. 
Then, 2 or 3 weeks later, sow the oats, drilling it 
in the other way, 50 pounds per acre. If the oats 
are sown with the peas, they grow too rapidly and 
check or smother the growth of the peas. 
COLORADO STOCK PEAS (White)—Are ex- 
tensively grown in the mountain districts, are 
very hardy and if mixed with oats or other 
grains, make very nutritious hay. If permitted 
to mature, make excellent feed for fattening 
sheep or hogs. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.00) (10 Ibs. $1.75). 
COLORADO STOCK PEAS (Blackeye)—Similar 
to the White Colorado Stock Peas, except each 
pea is marked with a small black eye. They 
provide good forage and hay and are valuable 
as a soilage crop. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.00) (10 Ibs. $1.75). 
SOUTHERN BLACK-EYE PEAS—tThe dry peas 
are excellent for table, and find ready sale 
during the winter. They are very hardy and 
prolific. Vines make excellent forage or hay. 
This pea has proven a great success in the dry 
land or non-irrigated districts of the west. Its 
roots seem to penetrate deeper and stand 
drought and heat better. Especially adapted to 
hot, dry nonirrigated districts, 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.25) (10 Ibs. $2.25). 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
An excellent forage crop for Sheep and Hogs, be- 
longs to the cabbage family. It produces a mass of 
broad, smfooth leaves which are greatly relished 
by Sheep and Hogs. It can be pastured off and 
when stock is removed, if not eaten too close, it 
will grow up again and give a second crop. It does 
best on rather moist land, but will do well in any 
good soil. The seed is usually sown broadcast, using 
about 5 pounds per acre. Sow from the first to the 
middle of August. If sown broadcast on corn ground 
after the last cultivation it makes good pasture 
after the corn is renfoved. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.50) (10 Ibs. $2.75). 
Sunflower 
Quite extensively grown for feeding. Sow in rows 
3 to 38% feet apart and thin to a foot apart in the 
rows. Treat the same as corn. Use 10 to 12 pounds 
of seed per acre. Sunflower are often used to mix 
with corn when filling a silo. It is claimed that 
the mixture makes a better ensilage than pure corn. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN—The variety commonly 
used to produce seed and for fillng silos. The 
heads are often one foot across and are filled 
with striped seed which makes most excellent 
feed for poultry. 
Postpaid (1 Ib. 35c) (5 Ibs, $1.50) (10 Ibs. 
$2.50).

Soy Beans 
Soy Beans are valuable for hay, seed, or for soil 
improvement, are easy to grow and are valuable for 
soil too poor for other legumes. They withstand both 
drought and heat well, make a good emergency crop, 
as they can be sown late. They deposit large quan- 
tities of nitrogen in the soil, building up poor soils 
on which clover or alfalfa cannot be grown. 
Soy Beans, as a hay crop, are higher in protein 
content than clover, hay, and for dairy cattle, the 
hay is equal to alfalfa hay. They make good ensilage 
grown with Corn and are also used for hog pasture. 
CULTURE—Soy Beans require about 
the same treatment as corn, and will 
grow on various types of soil, even in 
ground containing too much alkali for 
corn. Do not plant Soy Beans too

early. Corn planting time is about 
right. Seed should be inoculated with Nitragin for best re- 
sults. Soy Beans may be drilled like grain or broadcasted, 
using 90 to 100 pounds of seed per acre. If planted in rows 
like corn and cultivated, use 30 to 40 pounds per acre. 
Is an early yellow variety, 
outstanding for all purposes, hay, feed, hogging 
down as well as for planting with corn for sil- 
age. A good average crop will produce 20 to 
30 bushels of beans per acre. Illini is a robust 
grower of vines which stand up well and are 
easily cut with a corn or grain binder. The 
beans are yellow with brown hilum, pods 2 to 
3 seeded, averaging 2700 seeds to the pound; 
oil content 18.6%. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs, $1.25) (10 Ibs. $2.25). 
DUNFIELD—105 days. A robust grower of vines 
which stand up well and are easily cut with 
corn or grain binder. Seed is yellow, pods 2-3-4 
seeded, about 2300 seeds to the pound. Oil 
content 18.9%. Average yield about 25 bushels 
per acre. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.25) (10 Ibs. $2.25). 
Buckwheat 
Buckwheat is easily raised and will make profitable crops 
on rather poor land, where other grain would fail. It is also 
largely used as a cover crop in orchards. Sow in June or 
July, using 50 pounds of seed to the acre. 
JAPANESE—tThis is the largest buckwheat. The 
plant makes a more vigorous and larger growth 
than the common kind and yields more. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.25) (10 Ibs. $2.25). 
Flax Seed 
WILT-RESISTANT—Flax is the best and most 
profitable crop for sod or new lands, growers 
frequently realizing more from flax on sod than 
from wheat on old ground. Sow early, as soon 
as possible after danger from frost has passed. 
To raise seed sow one-half bushel per acre; for 
fibre, one bushel. .

A new dust disinfectant for seed 
oats, barley, wheat, and other cereals
