Get in on extra profits by growing Spring Wheat 
“Selected Northern Grown Seed" 

There is a big demand for Wheat 

We have chosen this variety because year in, year out we believe it is the best of all. 
You may find some variety for which this or that is claimed. Some years under 
from shattering. 

You can often turn acres that might be wasted into big profit 
makers with Buckwheat. Land that has been flooded can often 
give you a good return. Acres not otherwise used can be sown to it. 
It is a quick-growing grain crop. Matures in 10 to 12 weeks. Ex- 
cellent catch crop. Sometimes sown after small grain so as to get 
two crops from the land. Good cover crop for orchards. Makes land 
mellow. Good for bee pasture. 
One of the best crops for very poor soils. Responds to increased 
fertility. Does not like lime and should not be sown on very wet 
land. Can be grown most anywhere north of the cotton belt. Pre- 
fers cool weather, especially at blooming time, but is sensitive to 
frost. Prepare a good seed bed. Sow 8 to 4 pecks per acre. Yields 
up to 50 bu. per acre depending on conditions. See Item No. 203 on 
Price List. Postpaid 1 l1b., 30e; 5 lbs., $1.00. 
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 
around $3.00 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 
Blue Ribbon from Berry's Seeds 
Dear Sirs:- Clear Lake, Wisc. 
I got a blue ribbon at our fair on the Clinton 
Oats I got from you. They sure are swell and the 
best Oats I ever raised, 
Yours truly, 
Ole P, Korsbon, 


some conditions they may measure up. We believe you want a variety that will 
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. 
This heavy yielding high quality spring wheat is a great favorite in the spring 
wheat area. 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. 
The 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 
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 a 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. Disc 
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. Excellent for 
hogs. Solves the problem of early green feed or hay as no other 
early crop can 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. 
Wilt Resistant Varieties make it profitable where the 
older kinds were failures. There are a number of good 
varieties. 
Bison. One of the most wilt-resistant kinds. Also 
resists rust. Larger seed than the average. Produces 
very heavy yields. Generally contains more oil. This 
is highly popular. Seeds are dark brown. See Item 
No. 201 on Price List. 
Dakota. A new and exceptionally fine flax. Out- 
yielded all other kinds in a series of Iowa tests. Widely 
adapted. Thrifty grower of mid-early maturity. Me- 
dium sized brown seed produces a high grade of oil. 
Plant is highly resistant to rust and wilt. Wherever 
Dakota is introduced farmers do not want any other. 
Seed is scarce. Order early to get the best quality.
