Hybrid Corn—Heavy yielding, drought resisting. 
OATS 
CULTURE. Sow oats at the rate of 2 to 2% bushels to 
the acre, very early in the spring on a well prepared field 
with a modern grain drill.. Deep seeding on heavy clay 
soil is often fatal to the crop. Two inches is deep enough 
on a fine, compact seed bed. 
Ajax : 
A new White Oat variety introduced from Canada. Has 
moderate straw strength and good stem rust resistance, 
but only fair resistance to leaf rust and smut. Yields 
in the northern half of Minnesota and North Dakota 
have been very good and should do well wherever 
Gopher, Anthony and Vanguard have been raised. These 
last three varieties are practically out of existence, hav- 
ing. been replaced by Ajax and others. A very desirable 
variety for planting in the northern half of Wisconsin 
and Minnesota. See special list for prices. 
Marion 
It is an early white oat growing medium tall and having 
moderate straw strength and good resistance to stem 
rust, smut, and Helminthosporium Victorii and fair re- 
sistance to leaf rust. It is a very good yielder and adapt- 
ed particularly to light soil areas. The color of Marion 
is not as white as that of Ajax or Victory. Since Helmin- 
thosporium Victorii has been established as a serious 
oat disease, Marions have found increasing favor with 
oat growers. It is recommended for Iowa, Southern and 
Central Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and South 
Dakota. Please refer to yellow list for prices. 
Mindo 
A variety developed by the Minnesota station and re- 
leased in 1946. Mindo produces a yellowish-white oat. 
It is an early. maturing variety having stiff straw and 
high bushel weight. Mindo is resistant to stem rust in- 
eluding race No. 8 and leaf rust and the smuts. It is also 
resistant to Helminthosporium Victorii. Seed is very lim- 
ited at the present time. Recommended for Minnesota, 
Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas. See yellow list for 
prices. 
Spring Rye 
Makes an excellent crop for sowing- where winter grain 
has been Killed off or for soiling. It can also be grown 
for a grain crop by being seeded early in the springzand 
harvested in the same season, like wheat or- oats. 
not grow quite so large a straw as winter rye, but usu- 
ally yields well. Sow about 1% bushels’ to the acre. 
Latest prices are given. on special field seed list. 
Rosen Winter Rye 
Has proven itself to be far superior to any other winter 
rye. It is a heavy yielder with large, well-filled heads 
and large dark green kernels. The straw is big and 
strong and will stand the weather better than any other 
variety. Refer to yellow list for prices.

FIELD CORN 
Dependable seed corn must meet three important quali- 
fications: Germination, Maturity and High Yielding In- 
heritance. A high degree of germinating vigor is neces- 
sary to overcome unfavorable planting conditions. De- 
pendable seed corn should mature in the average season 
in the area in which it is to be planted. A thoroygh 
understanding of requirements of each area based on 
long experience is necessary. Only by continued com- 
parisons of yielding ability of various strains of the 
same variety can one be sure of high yielding ability. 
That is why Kingscrost Hybrid is so outstanding. 
Hybrid Corn 
Hybrid seed corn is a first generation cross betwéen in- 
bred strains. Inbred strains are developed by continual 
inbreeding of selected plants for several generations over 
a period of better than 10 years. Yields of hybrid planted 
seed corn will average from 7 to 11 bushels per acre 
higher than the regular varieties. Hybrids possess great- 
er resistance to lodging, greater resistance to drought 
and considerable higher shelling percentages. 
Kingscrost Hybrid Minn. 100 Day Seed Corn 
This remarkable hybrid improvement represents eight 
years of extensive research aimed at a superior develop- 
ment for the 100 to 105 maturity zone. In maturity it 
compares favorably with standard strains of the variety 
Minnesota 13. Kingscrost KS attained the seemingly 
impossible by combining into one hybrid a rare stalk 
yreakage resistance, high yield, and earliness of matur- 
ity. No longer is it necessary for northern corn belt 
farmers to risk the hazards of growing later hybrids 
for the increased yield. Kingscrost KS developed on an 
entirely new hybridizing principle has demonstrated in 
official state trials that it can yield and surpass in stand- 
ability leading hybrids which are as much as ten days 
later in maturity. Prices givem on special yellow list. 
K F—Hybrid Semi-Dent 
A cross between flint and dent varieties, recommended 
for 80-day areas. Leafy, non-suckering tall plants, high 
ears and stalk strength insure fall standability. Prices 
are given on special list. : . 
107 days 
Hybrid Silo 
Here is a corn for silage that will give you a maximum 
of yield. The quality of the ear corn and foliage is un- 
surpassed, and of the highest feeding value. Prices listed 
on yellow price list. 
Gould’s Reliable Red Cob Fodder 
Is a tall growing southern corn that will produce an 
abundance of feed per acre. The kernel is white and 
grows on a red cob, thus deriving its name. Prices given 
on special field seed price list. 
N. K. & Co.’s Elephant Fodder 
Of the yellow dent type, but grows taller and more leafy 
than the average yellow dent corn, therefore producing 
a very heavy yield. See yellow price list for prices. 
BARLEY 
Wisconsin No. 38 (Barbless) 
A smooth awned barley developed by the Wisconsin sta- 
tion. Resistant to barley stripe. Has a large head and 
plump kernel and stands the heat and dry weather better 
than other varieties. Many yields of 40 to 50 bushels 
are reported. A nne maiting variety. Sow at the rate 
a two bushels to the acre. See special yellow list for 
prices. 
"L" Barley 
A relatively new rough awned 6-row variety developed 
at Kindred, N. D. It has been outstanding the past few 
years in various parts of North Dakota and the past 
year in several trials in Minnesota, south of Minneapolis. 
It is about one week earlier than Wisc. 38. It has a 
good straw, stands well, is rust resistant, is a good malt- 
ing barley and pearls white. See special yellow list for 
x SORGHUM 
Early Black Amber Sorghum 
A fine variety for cane production for the making of 
syrup. Plant in rows and cultivate the same as corn. 
Sow 2 to 5 lbs. of seed to the.acre. Prices given on spe- 
cial yellow price list. © ; af 
Waconia Orange 
An improved strain over the Amber Sorghum.. Stalks 
are shorter but much sturdier and withstand the storms 
much better against lodging. Produce a high quality 
syrup. See special list for prices.
