Most, consistently give the best performance. One that is most certain to give you 
big-yields-of high quality wheat. In our opinion this is it. 
PIs heavy. yielding high quality spring wheat is a great favorite in the spring 
swheat-aréay "It has practically crowded out the Thatcher because that variety is so 
susceptible to leaf rust. Rust in some years almost completely ruins wheat crops. 
EHO Rival also ranked high in popularity for some time but most growers are 
Switching to Mida because it has a somewhat stiffer straw and is less subject to loss 
from shattering. 
We have chose 



There is a big demand for Wheat 
A Very High Quality Wheat 
; In many tests Mida has shown a higher average yield than Pilot, Rival, Thatcher 
and Renown. Also it is definitely superior to the old Marquis and has outyielded 
the Newthatch: Mida is 4 bearded wheat with high resistance to both leaf and stem 
. rust and to stinking smut. The kernel is large, dark red in color and the grain has 
a high test weight. It has very satisfactory milling and baking qualities. 
The story back of the development of Mida wheat by the North Dakota station 
involves tracing many varieties and crosses. The important fact is that it has made 
available to you a spring wheat that is definitely superior in practically all im- 
portant characteristics. It is a wheat that will help you make more money. 
The seed we have is northern grown which is the most desirable. The seed is 
heavy weight, recleaned, high germinating. Such seed is always the most economical. 
Sow 1% bu. per acre. Early spring seeding is advisable.

We are often asked, ‘““What can I sow early in the spring that 
will make me a big hay crop this year.” The answer is Field Peas. 
They make wonderful feed too when cut and fed green. They can 
be sown as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. Dise 
or harrow in a bushel of Peas with two bushel of oats. Peas are 
vine-like, the oats help hold the crop erect. The crop will come on 
fast. Cut the crop for hay when the oats are in the dough stage. 
The production is very heavy and feeding value very high. The 
crop is very fattening. Increases milk production. Excelient for 
hogs. Solves the problem of early green feed or hay as no other 
early crop ean do, Fine to plow under for soil enrichment. 
Inoculate your seed. See page 27. Seed supplies limited. See Item 
No. 189 on Price List. 
Note—Do not confuse these with cowpeas which want warm 
weather. Field Peas want cool weather. 
FLAX 
The great need for linseed oil is keeping the demand 
for flax seed very high. Prices should remain at high 
levels for some time. The government guarantee is 
$6.00 a bushel. With yields of 12 to 18 bushel per acre 
you can see flax can be a highly profitable crop. 
Flax is easy to grow if you sow it on relatively clean 
Jand. When sown early in the spring on a firm seed bed 
it is easy to get a stand. Requires % to 1 bu. of seed 
per acre. Flax is a wonderful nurse crop for grass and 
clover seedings because it does not shade the zround 
too much. By growing the crop on soybean land or 
following a corn crop you will have land quite free 
from weeds. Can be grown in most of the spring grain 
area where rainfall is 25 or more inches per year. 
Flax Is Widely Adapted 
Flax is now being grown over a much 
wider area than a few years back. New
