OLDS’ SPRING WHEAT 
(Sow 90 to 120 pounds to the acre.) 

A Field of Henry Wheat. 
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 Wis- 
consin Experiment Station and the U. 8. Depart- 
ment 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 Webster x 
Resaca. Six years of testing has shown that 
Henry Wheat is highly resistant 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, Wis- 
consin’s highest yielding spring wheat up to that 
time, by 28% and the older varieties by consid- 
erably more. Henry is a bearded spring wheat 
with large wide heads. The straw is moderately 
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 it is 
also satisfactory for baking,

BUCKWHEAT 
Sow buckwheat from 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 
1S more vigorous, withstands more drought, and 
produces better yields than the Common.

oped by the North Dakota Experiment Station.

heat resistant. A few days later than Thatcher, 
but taller and a heavier yielder. Grain is large, 
plump, and fine for milling.

proof durum wheat and is excellent for poultry. 
A very early variety that will ripen with oats 
making it excellent for succotash,

SPRING RYE 
(Sow 70 to 98 pounds to the acre.) 
Spring Rye is a valuable crop and should be 
more largely sown. 
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 80 to 40 bushels per acre.

WINTER WHEAT 
BLACKHAWK 
Blackhawk is a new variety of soft red win- 
ter wheat bred at the Wisconsin Agricultural 
Experiment Station. It was first released in 1944 
for certified seed production in 1945. It com- 
bines 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. 
Seed is scarce so order now, ~

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 in- 
cluded 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, 
COMMON FLAX. Good, clean, bright seed. 
Recommended for growing on soils that have not 
previously grown a crop of flax.

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 
Wisconsin Experiment Association. It has spe- 
cial 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 plant and matures 
early. Very resistant to the wilt disease.
