Clinton 59 Certified Seed Oats 
Clinton 59 Write for prices 
Clinton 59 has all the good qualities of the original Clinton Oats and in 
addition has slightly greater yielding ability, is about one day earlier and 
is more uniform in growth and maturity than the original Clinton. We 
believe that the Clinton 59 will probably replace the original Clinton in 
a few years. Write for prices. 
We recommend treating all seed Oats with Improved Ceresan for smut 
whether or not certified seed is used. 1 Ib. treats 32 bushels. See page 61. 
Soy Beans 
We are permitting our livestock to eat tomorrow's feed today. Such a 
condition, if allowed to continue, will cause greater and greater upsets. 
We can provide some remedy ourselves and should do so without delay. 
Every suitable acre not now producing a crop should be put to work. 
Soy Beans planted in warm soil up to July 15th can be most valuable 
crop for livestock feed. They will produce either grain or roughage high 
in protein, minerals, and vitamins. When properly inoculated, Soy Beans 
will gather abundant nitrogen from the air. 
Holmes can supply top quality seed of 4 varieties which are true to 
name, of high germination and vitality, free of weeds. 
When grown for hay, 90 Ibs. per acre solid; for silage, 4 to 6 lbs. per 
acre when sown with Corn; for silo, plant 60 Ibs. Soys to 15 lbs. Sudan; 
for seed drill 40 Ibs. or 90 lbs. sown solid. (60 Ibs. per bushel.) 
Earliana Write for prices 
4 days earlier than Richland and 10 days earlier than Lincoln in ma- 
turity, is especially adapted in northern Ohio where Wheat is to be sown 
after Soy Beans are combined. It yields about the same as Richland, is 
more suitable for combining than Richland. 
Lincoln Write for prices 
Matures about one week later than Richland. In 21 tests in Ohio, 
over a period of 4 years, Lincoln yielded 3 to 7 bushels more than other 
varieties. Superior in standing ability, and ranks ahead of them in quality 
and content of oil. 
Kingway Write for prices 
(Black seed.) Earlier and better than Wilson. Is as well for hay or ensil- 
age. Plant tall, tending to twine. 
Sudan Grass 
As a place for the summer seeding for increased feed production, its 
greatest purpose may be to produce pasture during the hot, dry weather 
when other pasturage is usually short, but can also be harvested. Ten tons 
of green feed or three tons of dry hay per acre is not uncommon. A firm 
seed bed is essential. Use 25 to 30 pounds per acre. Sown with Soy Beans 
when the Beans are 3 or 4 inches high. A very desirable and heavy yielding 
combination for hay or silage results. (40 lbs. per bushel.)

Sweet Sudan Grass 
A New Improved Variety 
Sweet Sudan Write for Price List 
In trials has produced considerably higher yields than common Sudan 
when harvested for hay or fodder after full bloom. Its disease-resistant 
qualities make it a valuable pasture or hay crop. The stalks are taller. 
heavier, and produce a finer and more palatable feed for livestock because 
of the sweet and juicy stalk-like sorghums. Sweet Sudan is the best 
emergency pasture for mid and late summer grazing. Good results are 
obtained when seeded in late May (if weather is favorable) or early June, 
and can also be sown during July at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
It usually produces abundant material for grazing in about six weeks. 
The plants stool out much heavier, are more leafy, and produce richer 
yields of forage than common Sudan stalks. This gives the added ad- 
vantage that much more grazing can be experienced from Sweet Sudan. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
For Quick Pasture for Sheep and Hogs 
It should be sown from late March to the middle of July. It is ordinarily 
ready to graze in 7 to 10 weeks or when 12 inches high. The seed may 
be broadcast and covered lightly with a harrow or it may be sown with a 
grain drill, 4 to 8 Ibs. of seed per acre. (50 lbs. per bushel.)

Sorghum - Cane Seed 
Early Orange Write for Price List 
The choicest variety, producing an abundance of good forage. Also 
excellent for syrup. Sorghum may be cut and dried, and fed to all farm 
livestock. Does well all over Ohio and the East. Plant 4 to 6 Ibs. in 
rows, 40 to 50 Ibs. drilled per acre. (50 Ibs. per bushel.)
