° Franklin Oats originat- 
Franklin ed as a plant selection 
made in 1922 from the Fulghum variety. 
Its characteristics as compared with 
Fulghum are as follows: The straw is 
longer and decidedly stiffer, it matures 
slightly later than Fulghum, has an open 
panicle type of head, while the heads of 
typical Fulghum teud toward the side- 
head type. The color of chaff of Franklin 
oats is white while the chaff of Fulghum 
is yellow. The kernel color is like that of 
Fulghum (red). The head type and chaff 
color should make it rather easy to iden- 
tify this variety and to maintain pure 
seed stocks. Franklin oats is nearly free 
of abnormal types that occur so fre- 
quently in Fulghum. Price $2.00 per bu.

EARLYANA SOYBEANS 
MATURES EARLY ENOUGH FOR WHEAT IN NORTHERN OHIO. 
This new early kind matures about four days ahead of Richland and nine days earlier 
than Mingo. The plants are slightly taller than Richland and a little more susceptible to 
lodging but much more resistant than Mingo. 
wherever grown the last few years and we feel it has a very definite place where wheat 
is to be sown or for one reason or another the beans should be harvested early. 
Price, $3.50 per bushel. 
This variety has been very satisfactory
