WINTER RYE 
A Great Feed Crop That Makes Big Profits 
Provides wonderful pasture. Saves on hay consumption. Increases flow of dairy cows 
in fall. Does not taint flavor of milk. Far superior to other Rye. Stands up Better. 
Produces more feed. One of the best money making crops you can sow. 
Balbo Rye is one of the greatest developments in winter grains for extra 
farm profits. It is a grain crop you can sow early because it is not bothered by 
Hession fly like Wheat. You can sow Balbo Rye early in August if you wish and 
you can begin to pasture it early in the fall. Its values as a pasture is a greater 
value on many farms than grain. Some do not ever harvest it for grain but use 
it solely as a pasture in the fall and from early spring to mid-June. 
Balbo Rye grows erect and does not fall. over like ordinary winter Rye. Thus 
it is easier to pasture and yields a lot more per acre. No dairyman can afford 
to be without it because it furnishes so much feed and yet it does not taint the 
flavor of the milk. Every farmer who has need for a lot of good palatable 
nourishing feed should plant Balbo Rye. It will make you money. 
You can pasture it quite a while in the spring and still get a good grain crop. It 
matures befere wheat and therefore escapes hot weather which sometimes catches wheat 
crops. It is one of the surest, safest and best crops you can sow in the fall. In sections 
where Lespedeza does well you can disc Balbo Rve into the Lespedeza. The Lespedeza 
furnishes pasture for quite a while. Then the Rye takes over: The next spring pasture 
Rye, then take a grain crop and after that the Lespedeza is on hand: ready to take over 
__-the mid-summer pasture again 
Balbo Rye is very winter hardy and can be sown wherever Winter Rye does well. 
There is a big demand for seed. We have inquiries from county agents wanting to get 
more seed for their counties. Since many pasture it continuously and do not harvest seed 
the supply of seed remains somewhat limited and is relatively higher in price than ordi- 
nary Rye, but it’s worth the difference and you will find your investment in the Balbo 
Rye to be a wise and profitable one. Sow a bushel to a bushel and a quarter per acre. 
We have high testing recleaned fine quality*seed available and can take good care of 
early orders.

MAMMOTH WHITE RYE 
This is the Rye commonly used in the past and still being used for hay and seed 
producing. It is a very winter hardy and early maturing grain and a heavy producer. 
Equal to Balbo if wanted principally for grain, but not equal for pasture. Our seed is 
carefully recleaned: and high quality seed.

RYE and VETCH MIXED 
Be sure to read the opposite column i description of Winter Vetch. You can use 
either our Balbo or Winter Rye in combination with Vetch. You can make the rate of 
seeding about as you wish. A bushel of Rye with 12 to 15 lbs. of Vetch is good although 
some will use as much as 20 lbs. of Vetch per acre with a bushel of Rye. It is 
a wonderful combination for early hay next spring or a crop to feed green or to pasture 
er to plow under early in time for planting Corn. 




VETCI 
You will thank me for getting you acquainted with Winter or Hairy Vetch, 
if you will just try some of it this fall. It doesn’t matter even if you only get 
enough to put in your garden plot. It is really a wonderful crop to build up 
your land, and sas same time serve as a cover crop. It also makes a valuable 
crop for poultry feed. It makes wonderful hay that is high in protein. 
There isn’t another crop that I know of that you can sow in the fall, and 
get such big returns from next year. .If you sow it fairly early in the fall, it will 
make nice green growth and it will have a greenish tinge on it ali winter. It will 
start growing again early the next spring. You can then plow it under to enrich 
your soil, and it will do a wonderful job. The roots are very fibrous, and with 
a heavy mass of green matter turned under, you add an enormous quantities of 
humus to your land. The Vetch gathers nitrogen from the air, and provides an 
abundance of this high priced plant food. You can cut Vetch and feed it green 
if you wish in the spring. Also makes a good hay crop, especially if you use it 
in combination with Rye. 
Vetch itself is a somewhat vine-like crop. If sown by itself it will not grow erect. 
It doesn’t matter so much if you are planning to plow it under, Rye sown with Vetch 
helps it grow erect and it is then easier to handle. Rye and Vetch can be used as a pasture, 
as well as for hay. It is great to plow under early and plant to corn. 
Vetch seeded alone is sown at around 20 lbs. to the acre. You can use that much 
together with a bushel of Rye. Or when you use Rye you can cut down somewhat on 
the Vetch. You should inoculate your Vetch seed with our module germ which costs 60c 
for a 100-lb. package. You can sow Vetch most any time from mid-August until as late as 
you sow Rye, although the earlier seeding is preferable. A too late a seeding might cause 

some winter killing. 1 urge you to try some Vetch, and learn what a wonderful crop this. 
is, and how it can help you make more money on your farm. 
The price is $25.00 per hundred pounds; $12.60 per 50 Ibs. and in 
small quantities postpaid 5 ibs. $2.00; 10 ibs. $3.50. 
SWEET CLOVER SEED ~ 
Early fall seeding of Sweet Clover is on the increase. Mid- August seems to 
be a popular time. Some sow later. Sweet Clover that gets. started in the fall 
and lives over winter makes its full growth the next year. You .can then plow 
it under real early and plant land to corn. Others pasture it and then turn it 
under or take a seed crop. Corn crops can,often be increased 15 DEenets per 
acre after plowing under a crop Of Sweet Clover in the spring. 
Unhulled Sweet Clover seed does not germinate as quickly as hulled seed. 
It is ideal for late fall or winter seeding. The seed becomes embedded in the 
soil and germinates early in the spring, giving the plants an early start. Sow 
alone or on winter grain. 
MADRID SWEET CLOVER 
You are probably acquainted with the regular White and Yellow Sweet Clover seed. 
See our general catalog for description. 
MADRID IS A NEW VARIETY OF YELLOW 
It yields much more than common Yellow. It is just a little under White in 
yield but the growth is not so rank and stemmy. Matures about a week later than 
common Yellow but before White. It is a more dependable seed producer. The 
most desirable features are its leafiness and resistance of foliage to frost. It also 
has a rapid growth as a seedling which helps it to compete with weeds and nurse 
oe The foliage has a very dark color which makes it very outstanding in the 
ie 
We believe you will like Madrid Vollow Sweet Clover very much. Many farm- 
ers are writing in asking about it. Be sure to try some.
