SOY BEANS 
Soy beans are one of the most valuable crops one can 
raise. As a hay crop, soy beans are higher in protein 
content than clover and equal to alfalfa hay. Are excel- 
lent for silage grown with corn, Do not plant too early; 
about corn planting time or later. Inoculate seed with 
Nitragin before planting. Cover seed lightly. 
CULTURE. For silage, the usual amount of corn is 
planted and soy beans added at the rate of 10 pounds 
per acre. Seed may be mixed in the planter box and 
stirred at each row end or planted from separate boxes. 
The two crops may be grown separately and mixed in 
the silo cutter two parts of corn to one of soy beans. 
The beans should be almost ripe when cut. 
For hay, plant 60 to 90 pounds per acre in rows 20 to 86 
inches apart. Harvest when pods are well filled and 
leaves commence to turn. Allow to wilt in swath, then 
rake up and place in small cocks. curiae sometimes 
requires several days and should be thorough. Soy beans 
drop their leaves quite easily and should be cut before 
any number have fallen. They should be handled as little 
as possible to retain the most leaves. 
For hogging off plant 30 to 60 pounds per acre in rows 
20 to 42 inches apart. Twenty-inch rows can be made 
by straddling every other row with the corn planter. As 
soon as the beans are matured, turn in the hogs to har- 
vest the crop. 
Mandarin 
This variety is especially recommended for northern 
areas as it matures in 95 to 110 days. The pods of round 
yellow beans are held higher from the ground than most 
Soy Bean varieties. Please see Yellow list for prices. 
Manchu 
This popular variety is especially recommended for the 
Northwest for hay, dry beans, as well as planting with 
corn for silage. Beans are yellow, of medium size and 
mature medium early. Yields of beans will average 
around 25 bushels to the acre. See special Yellow list

FIELD PEAS 
Are not only profitable as a dry shelled crop, but may 
also be used for hay, pasture, or polling. with excellent 
results, Peas are second only to clover in their soil en-

description. It is always in demand either as a dry pea 
for cooking, or for pigeons, Prices given on special field

SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian 
Are especially useful in the poultry run, as the large 
leaves furnish shade for young chicks; also, the seeds 
make a good addition to the poultry ration. They are 
very rich in oil and protein and are splendid to feed 
during the moult and winter months. They are also 
valuable for hogs. Sow 2 to 3 lbs. to the acre. Prices

BUCKWHEAT 
Buckwheat can be sown as late as July and still pro- 
duce a crop, or it may also be plowed under for soiling. 
Sow % to 1 bushel per acre, as late as possible, and 
still have crop well developed before severe frosts occur. 
Light, well-drained soils are best for this crop. 
Common 
Seed is a rich dark brown and larger than Silver Hull. It 
resists drought and blight very well and produces seed 
early. Refer to Yellow list for prices.

FLAX 
Flax can be sown only about once in six or seven years 
3 It is a splendid crop to grow on 
new breaking, for it not only produces a good paying 
crop but it also helps to prepare the soil for future 
crops, leaving. ground in a nice mellow condition. Be- 
fore sowing, it is especially important to have the ground 
well firmed. Also be sure that there are no open spaces 
in the bottom of the furrows, as these are likely to cause 
the roots to rot, Sow 25 to 30 pounds to the acre, as early 
as possible and yet avoid the last killing spring frost. 
Wilt-resistant varieties are becoming more essential 
for successful flax production. It.is also recommended 
that it be seeded in the latter part of April or early 
part of May instead of the latter part of May and early 
part of June. Early seeding of these Wilt-resistant 
varieties helps to overcome the Wilt and Rust. 
Bison Flax 
A large seeded wilt and rust resistant variety, developed 
by the No. Dak, Experimental Station. Bison has prac- 
tically replaced all other older varieties. It will yield 
on an average, 20 bushels to the acre and some have 
yielded as high as 30 bushels to the acre. See Yellow 
list for prices. 
Red Wing 
A variety somewhat earlier than Bison and recommended 
for Central and Southern Minnesota. Red Wing was 
developed by the Minn. Agric. Sta. Seed is medium 
sized and gives a very high quality oil. Prices given on 
Yellow list, 
WHEAT 
Sow at the rate of 75-90 pounds to the acre. 
Henry Spring Wheat 
A bearded spring wheat with large wide heads, moder- 
ately resistant to leaf and stem rust but moderately sus- 
ceptible to bunt and scab. Straw is fairly stiff. Kernels 
are medium red in color and slightly softer in texture 
than Marquis. A very satisfactory milling and baking 
Bree but primarily a feed wheat. See Yellow List for 
prices. 
Mida Spring Wheat 
A new bearded variety of Spring wheat. It resembles 
Rival qa good deal in field appearance. Mida, however, 
is a little earlier in maturity, has a stiffer straw than 
Rival, and is more resistant to leaf rust. It has a 
deeper colored grain that thrashes easily but not quite 
as easily as Rival. It will run somewhat heavier in test 
weight. In general performance, it has shown up better 
than Regent, See special Yellow list for prices. 
Minturki Winter Wheat 
The hardest of hard winter wheats, with red beard and 
strong straw. Originated from a cross between Turkey 
and Odessa, the crossing being accomplished at the Min- 
nesota Agricultural Experiment Station. It has out- 
yielded other varieties of winter wheat in Minnesota 
and seems to be particularly adapted to this state. Of 
good baking quality. Prices are given on Yellow field 
seed price list. 
Red Durum 
This wheat is practically immune to the dreaded rust. 
In growing it resists extremes of weather which no 
other wheat will endure. Grows very strong and with 
surprising rapidity. It does not shell or bleach; is al- 
most hail proof owing to the tightness of the hull. This 
wheat is used for feeding and is not a milling wheat. 
Prices given on Yellow list. 
Dwarf Essex RAPE

inches apart and cultivate 1 to 2 pounds an acre. 
Rape may be sown as late as July ist, and produce a 
fall pasture. Prices given on special field seed price list.
