Staffel’s FIELD SEEDS yield greater crops 
ALFALFA and CLOVERS 
STAFFEL'S ALFALFA does best through fall 
sowing but good results can be obtained 
with early spring planting. Care should be 
taken in preparing the land, applying 
plenty of lime. Inoculate seed before plant- 
ing with NITRAGIN, especially if the land 
has had no previous alfalfa plantings. Dry 
and rather high ground is preferable for 
planting. Avoid sowing in wet soils. Plant 
20 to 25 lbs. per acre. 
STAFFEL'S BURR CLOVER. California hulled 
seed of exceptionally good quality, thor- 
oughly recleaned. 
STAFFEL'S HUBAM CLOVER is a rapid 
growing annual Sweet Clover attaining a 
height of 7 feet. Flowers are rich in 
honey. An excellent cover crop when 
planted in February or March. Sow 12 to 
15 lbs. per acre. 
STAFFEL'S YELLOW SWEET CLOVER (Meli- 
lotus Indica). Sometimes called sour clover. 
Wonderful legume, especially adapted to 
plowing under for green manure. Grows 
all during winter when planted in fall. 
Builds up run-down soil and improves the 
yield of crops that will be planted on the 
land next spring. Plant 15 to 20 lbs. per 
acre. 
STAFFEL'S SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus Alba) ; 
Scarified seed. Rapid growing clover 
with white blooms. Excellent for bee food. 
An ideal soil builder and does well on 
clay soils. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. 
STAFFEL’S CERTIFIED HEGARI 
ARIZONA GROWN. Produces large heads 
and matures earlier. Stands dry weather, 
the grain does not shatter and the crop is 
certain. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre in drills. 
STAFFEL’S MILLET 
BIG GERMAN. Large yield. On good land, 
with a favorable season, five tons to the 
acre not uncommon; makes lots of leaves. 
Should be cut green for best hay and 
when heads are in full bloom. Must be 
allowed to ripen if used for seed. Should 
not be sown. before April, when ground 
gets warm. Sow three pecks to the acre. 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. to the acre, broadcast. 
STAFFEL’S WINTER BARLEY 
WINTER BEARDED BARLEY has splendid 
hog feeding qualities. In some sections it 
is used almost entirely for horses and 
mules. Excellent winter grazing. Yields 
50 to 75 bushels of grain per acre. Not 
damaged by hard freezes. Sow 2 to 3 
bushels per acre. 
STAFFEL’S COW PEAS 
These peas make one of the largest yield- 
ing and most nutritious forage crops 
grown. It’s not necessary to turn under the 
crop of vines to improve the soil. It’s really 
considered more economical and the best 
way to cut off the vines and cure them as 
a forage or hay crop, and then turn under 
the stubble and roots. From 10,000 to 
18,000 pounds of green fodder per acre 
have been produced. Can be sown broad- 
cast in April, May, June or July at the rate 
of 1 to 14 bushels per acre or may be 
planted in drills, using 8 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
WHIPPOORWILL is ideal for fodder and 
for reclaiming old and wornout land. Two 
crops can easily be made in one season. 
Use ripened, ground peas for excellent 
cattle fattener. 
LARGE BLACK EYED PEAS are an ideal soil 
improver, being similar in growth of vine 
and action of roots upon the soil to other 
cowpeas. Make a profitable crop for pick- 
ing the dry peas for sale in our market 
during the winter. 
4 
CREAM PEAS are undisputed queens of the 
table. None can surpass them for splendid 
flavor. 
BRABHAM COW PEAS are similar to Whip- 
poorwill. Resistant to nematode. Few dis- 
tricts are free from this blight and while 
other crops nurse it and spread it to other 
territories, Brabham will discourage its 
development and may eradicate it from 
field entirely. Sow 40 lbs. to the acre. 
BROWN CROWDER PEAS are a fine, large 
variety and are popular for table use 
throughout the South and Southwest. 
STAFFEL’S RED TOP CANE SEED 
(Certified) 
Leads all other varieties. Strictly a forage 
crop and possible to receive from 4 to 5 
tons of forage under normal conditions. 
The certified strain is uniform in growth, 
- smut and disease free and far superior to 
the old type. 

STAFFEL’S SOY (SOJA) BEANS 
Plant at the same time you plant corn. 
Prepare ground as you would for cow 
peas, sowing the seed in drills 3 to 4 feet 
apart, dropping two seeds every 6 inches 
. or sow by broadcasting. Do not plant 
seed over 114 inches deep. Cut for hay 
when the pods are well formed, or, if 
wanted for seed, let the beans mature. 
Inoculate the seeds with Nitragin. 
LAREDO BEANS have slender, leafy 
branches and make an unexcelled, high 
quality hay. Mature in 120 days and yield 
30 to 40 bushels of seed per acre. One 
bushel plants 6 to 8 acres in 314 foot rows. 
ATLAS SORGO 
Looks like Hegari but different in many 
respects. Grown principally for ensilage 
and will make two to three times the ton- 
nage of red top or other ensilage crops. 
Grows 8 to 10 feet high with heavy foliage 
and while the seed may be harvested, 
best results are obtained when the crop is 
used for ensilage and cut green. The stalk 
is sweet like cane and the seed has the 
feeding value of Hegari and maize. 
YELLOW MILO (Dwarf) 
Certified and disease resistant. Most suc- 
cessful yet introduced. Grows 3 to 4 feet 
high and very uniform in growth. Stands 
hot dry weather exceptionally well. Ma- 
tures in about 104 days. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. 
per acre in drills. 
STAFFEL’S HEGARI 
Popular and profitable for grain, forage | 
and ensilage. Stands dry weather, grain | 
does not shatter, the heads are large and 
full, uniform in growth and the crop is 
certain. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre in drills. 


STAFFEL’S SEED POTATOES ~ 
BLISS TRIUMPH are smooth, clean and | 
free from prongs and scab — growing 
stronger and more vigorous, maturing 
in a shorter time and yielding much 
more than home-grown seed. This 
stock is genuine Minnesota grown and | 
there is none better to be had at any | 
price. | 
IRISH COBBLER is one of the most reli- 
able of the early varieties. It has a 
handsome, creamy white color and is 
of excellent quality, making it highly 
desirable to farmers who want and

grower, ripens uniformly and is a good 
keeper.

STAFFEL’S GRAIN SORGHUMS 
AND RAPE .. . FOR FEED 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE has been grown 
mostly for sheep pasture but is equally 
valuable as forage crop for cattle, hogs 
and poultry. The young, tender leaves 
make luscious table greens and are pre- 
ferred by many to mustard and other 
greens. Produces 10 to 25 ton of green 
forage per acre. Can be grown in the fall 
as it stands our winters without damage. 
Sow in drills at rate of 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. 
DOUBLE DWARF YELLOW MILO MAIZE is 
Arizona grown, non-saccharine sorghum, 
very productive and makes an enormous
