SILOBRED. Heavy Yielding Hybrid for Ensilage. This is a blend 
of several vigorous hybrids adapted primarily for en- 
silage. Together they will produce considerably more and broader 
leaves and thicker and more succulent stalks than 29-3. These leaves 
and stalks remain green and in prime condition even when the ears 
are nearly ripe. When cut for the silo, it yields more tons of highly 
digestible ensilage than any other kind in this season, and the ears 
are ripe enough to insure maximum feeding value. 

The sturdy leafy plants do not grow too tall, making them easy to 
handle. Silobred is highly resistant to smut, withstands drought well 
and it will not lodge like the older varieties. For best results, do not 
plant too thick. 1 bushel will sow 5 to 6 acres for ensilage, making this 
a very inexpensive corn to grow. 
2 Lbs. 75c; Pk. (14 Lbs.) $2.80; transportation paid. Not paid: Bu. 
$7.50; Bag of 2 Bu. $14.50. 
29-3 DOUBLE CROSSED HYBRID. The Standard Hybrid 
Field Corn for New York and New England. This widely- 
grown hybrid was developed by Cornell University and is well adapted 
to growing conditions in New York and New England. It is used for 
ensilage in nearly all sections and for grain in the medium season areas 
of these states. 

The ears are large, rather slender, and the big broad kernels are of 
various colors; white, yellow and red, so this variety should not be 
planted for grain where a pure yellow corn is desired. 
Due to the enormous crops and the exceptionally high proportion 
of digestible food in the ensilage, it is one of the most economical var- 
ieties to grow for the silo. Highly recommended by the State College 
of Agriculture, and grown with satisfaction by thousands of farmers.

SOY BEANS 
Grow Soy Beans for High Value Feed and to Enrich Your Land 
Soy Beans should be included in crop rotations both for their high. pro- 
tein value in stock feeding and to improve the land by adding nitrogen 
to it. With the modern varieties that we now offer, soy beans are a really 
valuable farm crop. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
For Grain. Plant in solid drills using 90 to 100 Ibs. per acre; or sow in 
rows 21 to 28 inches apart, using 35 to 50 lbs. A tractor drawn rotary 
hoe is excellent for killing weeds in soy beans. 
For Hay or for Plowing Under. Use 2 bushels of seed per acre in 
drills 7 inches apart. For hay, cut with a mower and handle like alfalfa. 
For green manure, plow down just as the pods begin to form. 
FOR SOY BEANS. Inoculation with Nitragin 
increases yields of soy beans up to 50%. It also 
helps build up the supply of nitrogen for future 
crops. Always inoculate soy beans before planting. 
See Nitragin on page 82.

GRAIN FOR FALL SOWING 
We will have New York State Certified Seed of Wheat and Winter 
Barley to offer in August, and also the best Rye for grain or cover crops. 
If you are interested in any of these seeds, please send in your name 
anytime in the spring or summer and we will be glad to send you our 
prices as soon as they can be established. 
WINTER WHEAT. Hybrid 595. This new variety developed by 
Cornell University is the best kind of wheat to 
plant in New York State. It yields just as much as Yorkwin but has a 
stiffer straw, and is very resistant to loose smut. It has bronze chaff, is 
beardless, and produces flour of excellent pastry flour quality. Much 
superior to the older kinds. Certified seed will be ready in August. 
Write for prices. 
WINTER BARLEY. Wong. A heavy-yielding, stiff strawed variety, 
bred by Cornell University for New York 
State conditions. It is hardy and nearly always comes through the 
winter in fine shape. Six-rowed, compact, upright heads, with very 
short beards. Grows erect with a stiff straw and ripens earlier than 
wheat. Can be combined easily and makes an excellent nurse crop for 
new seedings. Certified seed will be ready in August. Write for prices. 


RYE Cornell 76. This robust type is ideal for grain or for cover crops. 
‘ If you have any bare land, sow rye or rye and vetch in the fall. 
Prevents erosion and leaching, and adds valuable humus. 
Ask us to enter your name and we will send our price list of 
the above seeds when they are ready. 


EARLYANA,. New Early Type for Grain. This new early yellow 
seeded variety is now established as the best soy 
bean to raise for grain in New York and other short season areas. It 
ripens early, a week or more before Seneca, yet it produces very heavy 
yields of fine beans. The seed is larger than Seneca, somewhat oval in 
shape with a clear light straw-yellow color. The plants are erect in 
habit and they carry the pods well up off the ground, permitting easy 
harvesting without loss of seed. 
If you have had difficulty raising profitable crops of soy beans in 
the past, plant the new Earlyana. It is early-maturing, dependable 
and a very heavy yielder. 
15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.75; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $6.00; Sack of 2 Bu. $11.80. Pur- 
chaser pays transportation. 

MANDELL. Best for Hay and Cover Crops. Soy beans make 
excellent hay and this new variety is by far the best for 
this purpose. The tall leafy plants make a vigorous growth with larger 
and broader leaves than Manchu and this heavy foliage makes the 
finest hay. It is a late maturing type and is not safe for grain in our 
season but is ideal as a forage crop or for ensilage. 
This is also the best kind for cover crops. Plowing under the heavy 
plant growth of Mandell adds a large amount of humus to the soil and 
also increases the available nitrogen for succeeding crops. 
15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.50; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $5.00; Sack of 2 Bu. $9.80. Purchaser 
pays transportation.
