Proof. A Good Producer. Dandy Feeding Grain 
This grain is one of the oldest grains known to mankind. It was apparently grown in prehis- 
toric times. German-Russian immigrants introduced it to the United States. 
It is a remarkable spring grain crop. Really a type of wheat. Shucks cling to the grain. ' Gen- 
erally two grains in a shuck and somewhat softer than wheat. Makes a nutritious feed. The 
kernels with the hulls removed have about the same composition as wheat. Best as ground feed.

This heavy yielding high quality spring wheat is a great favorite in 
the spring wheat area. It has practically crowded out the Thatcher be- 
cause that variety is so susceptible to leaf rust. Rust in some years almost 
completely ruins wheat crops. The Rival also ranked high in popularity for 
some time but most growers are switching to Mida because it has a somewhat 
stiffer straw and is less subject to loss from shattering. 
In many tests Mida has shown a higher average yield than Pilot, Rival, Thatcher 
and Renown. Also it is definitely superior to the old Marquis and has outyielded the 
Newthatch. Mida is a bearded wheat with high resistance to both leaf and stem rust and 
to stinking smut. The kernel is large, dark red in color and the grain has a high test 
weight. It has very satisfactory milling and baking qualities. i

Bison Flax 
The great scarcity of flax seed has sent crops to 
market very fast. Supplies held back for seed pur- 
poses are very short. We have a limited«supply of 
the Bison. This is the most Wilt resistant of the flax 
varieties most commonly grown. Resists rust as 
well as wilt and is also the heaviest seed yielder, 
especially if sown early. It requires % of a bushel 
per acre. Some sow slightly more but at present 
prices we suggest the lighter rate. It is a little 
larger seeded than some and contains more oil. It 
is a vigorous grower. Our séed stock is excellent 
but supply is limited. Order early. 
Wilt Resistant FLAX for Biqger Profits 

The demand for flax seed: remains high and with 
these famous Wilt Resistant varieties yields of 12 
to 18 bushels per acre are obtained. Flax is easy to 
grow and makes a wonderful nurse crop, Adapted 
to most of the spring oat section where rainfall is 
25 or more inches per year. Grows best on medium 
to heavy land. Best results on clean land following 
soybeans or a cultivated crop like corn. Sow early 
in the spring on a firm seed bed. Cover lightly. 
Use a roller if you can where soil is loose. Price 
Bison $10.00 per bu., 10 bu., or more, $9.S0.
