Soy Beans should be included in crop 
rotations both for their high protein 
value in stock feeding and to improve the 
land by adding nitrogen to it. With the 
modern varieties that we now offer, soy 
beans are a really valuable farm crop. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
For Grain. Plant in solid drills using 
90 to 100 lbs. per acre; or sow in rows 21 
lo 28 inches apart, using 35 to 50 Ibs. A 
tractor drawn rotary hoe is excellent for 
killing weeds in soy beans. 
For Hay or for Plowing Under. Use 
2 bushels of seed per acre in drills 7 inches 
apart. For hay, cut with a mower and 
handle like alfalfa. For green manure, 
plow down just as the pods begin to form. 
NITRAGIN for Soy Beans. Inocula- 
tion increases yields of soy beans up to 
50%. It also helps build up the supply of 
nitrogen for future crops. See NITRAGIN 
on page 82.

ALFALFA 
Everyone knows the value of alfalfa, probably the most important 
legume we have for long-time hay and pasture uses. Good seed is now 
available and the use of more alfalfa even for stands intended for short 
duration is being urged by State College experts. 
Sow early in the spring on wheat or with oats or barley, using about 12 
Ibs. per acre. Or plow early, keeping the land well worked and make a 
summer seeding in July or August. Inoculate the seed with NITRAGIN. 
(See page 82.) 
GRIMM ALFALFA. Canadian Grown. This famous yariety is 
much superior to the common types as it is 
very hardy, and stools out well. This seed was grown in Canada and is 
the safest for New York State conditions. 
Lb. 90c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (15 Lbs.) $9.45; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $36.00; 100 Lbs. $58.50. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. Utah Origin. Exactly the same variety, except 
that this seed was produced in Utah. Entirely satisfactory for our 
conditions, being vigorous and winter-hardy. 99.90% pure and of high 
germination. 
Lb. 90c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (15 Lbs.) $9.25; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $35.00; 100 Lbs. $57.00. 
TIMOTHY AND GRASSES 
TIMOTHY. One of the most valuable and widely planted grasses for 
—_—_\| both hay and pasture. It thrives on moist loam soils and 
yields good crops even on poorer land. Sow 9 to 12 lbs. per acre alone, 
and about 8 lbs. when mixed with clover. Timothy responds well to 
applications of nitrate in early spring. We sell only the choicest seed. 
Pk. (1144 Lbs.) $1.50; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $5.10; 100 Lbs. $11.00; Bag of 3 
Bu. (135 Lbs.) $14.65. Purchaser pays transportation. 
TIMOTHY and ALSIKE MIXED. (25% Alsike Clover.) An 
excellent mixture to sow 
either for hay or pasture, using 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. The mixture we 
offer contains 25% Alsike Clover. It is an unusually fine lot of seed, 
much superior to most mixtures which often contain only 15 to 20% 
Alsike.

SOY BEANS 
Grow Soy Beans for High Value Feed and to Enrich Your Land 
EARLYANA. New Early Type for Grain and Hay. This early 
yellow seeded variety is the best soy bean for grain in 
New York and other short season areas. It ripens early, yet it produces 
very heavy yields of fine beans. The seed is large, somewhat oval in 
shape with a clear light straw-yellow color. The plants are erect in 
habit and they carry the pods well up off the ground, permitting easy 
harvesting without loss of seed. 
Earlyana is also recommended for growing high feed value hay. The 
best time to cut for hay is when the pods are all formed and the beans 
about half size. Earlyana reaches this stage by late August, the most 
favorable time for cutting. 
15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.75; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $6.00; Sack of 2 Bu. $11.80; 10 Bu. 
or more at $5.75 per Bu. Purchaser pays transportation. 
LINCOLN. Best for Silage and Cover Crops. Soy beans make 
———_—_ excellent hay and are also used for emergency pasture 
and for growing with corn for silage. Lincoln is ideal for these purposes. 
The tall leafy plants make a vigorous growth with large broad leaves 
and the heavy foliage makes the finest hay. It is a late maturing type 
and is not safe for grain in our season but is ideal as a forage crop or for 
ensilage. 
This is also the best kind for cover crops. Plowing under the heavy 
plant growth of Lincoln adds a large amount of humus to the soil and 
also increases the available nitrogen for succeeding crops. : 
15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.95; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $6.50: Sack of 2 Bu. $12.80; 10° Bu. 
or more al $6.25 per Bu. Purchaser pays transportation. 
CLOVER 
ALSIKE CLOVER. Grows well on low, wet land where Red Clover 
does not thrive. It is a perennial and will last 
for a good many years, either for hay or in pasture. It makes fine hay 
of high feeding value and is very valuable in pastures. Sow 6 to 10 lbs. 
per acre alone, or 2 to 4 Ibs. in mixture. 
Lb. 75e postpaid. Not paid: Pk. (15 lbs.) $8.85; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $33.00; 
100 Lbs. $54.00. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER. Widely adapted and generally used 
LD 
r seeding in early spring on wheat 
or with oats and barley. It makes very nutritious hay. A biennial in 
most places, it lives but two years if allowed to seed. Sow 8 to 12 Ibs. 
per acre alone or 4 to 6 lbs. in mixture. Seed is scarce this year and 
alfalfa is highly recommended as superior where adapted, or use a 
mixture of red clover and alfalfa or alsike. 
Pk. (15 Lbs.) $11.50; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $43.00; 100 Lbs. $70.00. Purchaser 
pays transportation. 
SWEET CLOVER. For Cover Crops. Very high grade scarified 
——  _—_— seed. Makes an immense growth and is excellent 
for cover crops and for hay. It will grow on rough land where alfalfa 
would not do well, and is also valuable for pasture. The seed may be 
sown in late fall, early spring, or in the summer. 20 lbs. per acre. 
Lb. 45c; postpaid. Not paid: Pk. (15 Lbs.) $4.00; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $15.00; 
100 Lbs. $25.00. 
LADINO CLOVER. A giant variety of white clover, vigorous and 
taller-growing. Excellent for pasture as il 
grows well with grasses and highly recommended in mixtures intended 
for hay, silage or aftermath grazing. It gives a very high protein mineral 
feed. For poultry pasture it is ideal with Kentucky Blue Grass. 
Ladino is more persistent than common white clover and spreads 
rapidly by fleshy stems that run along the ground and take root. It 
produces long upright growing stems and extra large leaves. It responds 
well to good fertility, producing a very dense growth, and is somelimes 
used for cover crops. Sow only | to 2 lbs. per acre. 
Yq Lb. $1.00; 4% Lb. $1.70; Lb. $3.25; 5 Lbs. or more at $3.10 per Lhb.: 
transportation paid. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER, [deal for permanent pastures where 
close grazing will be practiced. It is a 
low growing and tenacious perennial, forming a thick sward and covers 
the ground quickly. It is much hardier and lasts much longer in a 
pasture than the old White Dutch which it has now replaced. Being a 
legume it takes nitrogen from the air and adds it to the soil to increase 
the growth of the companion grasses in the pasture. Should be in all 
pasture mixtures. | to 2 lbs. per acre is sufficient. 
This is also a very valuable clover for lawns. See page 39.
