A Field of Henry Spring Wheat. 
SPRING WHEAT 
(Sow 90 to 120 pounds to the acre.) 
HENRY 
Developed by Prof R. G. Shands in a eo- 
operative grain-breeding project of the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station and the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture. It is highly resistant to leaf 
rust, the most serious disease of wheat in Wis- 
consin. Also quite resistant to black stem rust 
and to bunt or stinking smut. In tests in the 
last three years, Henry outyielded Sturgeon, 
Wisconsin’s highest yielding spring wheat up to 
that time, by 23%. Henry is a bearded spring 
wheat with large wide heads. The straw is mod- 
erately stiff and about as tall as Sturgeon and 
will ripen along with Marquis wheat or about five 
days later than Vicland oats. The kernels are 
medium red in color, slightly softer in texture 
than Marquis and larger than any other spring 
wheat. It is primarily a feed wheat, but it is 
also satisfactory for baking.

BUCK WHEAT 
Sow buckwheat from June 10 to July 10, one 
bushel (50 Ibs.) per acre. 
Buckwheat yields heaviest on well drained 
sandy loam soils, but will also give fair results 
on soils too poor for most other crops. It 
matures in about seventy days and ripens best 
in the cool weather of early fall. Therefore, 
June and July plantings in the North are most 
satisfactory. The Japanese type of buckwheat 
is more vigorous, withstands more drought, and 
produces better yields than the Common. 
JAPANESE. Large, of dark brown color. 
Higher in market than Common.

paid. By freight or express f. o. b. Madison:

and most popular variety of field peas.

Field Peas, Vicland Oats, Barbless Bar- 
ley and Progress Wheat. :

ATTENTION DAIRYMEN 
The milk from dairy cattle sprayed 
with DDT or housed in buildings spray- 
ed with DDT is no longer permitted by 
federal regulations, in inter-state com- 
merce. Furthermore, beef cattle spray- 
ed with DDT being finished for market 
cannot be shipped inter-state. We, 
therefore, suggest that in place of DDT 
you use the new Methoxychlor 50 de- 
veloped by DuPont. This meets federal 
regulations and is safe to use and very 
effective. See page 78.

OLDS’ FLAX 
(Sow 50 to 75 pounds to the acre.) 
Flax is a cool weather crop grown in the 
northern states. It is used mostly for its fibre 
and also for its seed which is ground’ and in- 
cluded in feed. When grown for fibre, moist or 
under-drained and fairly rich-loam is required. 
When produced for seed less fertile soil and 
moisture are required. 
REDSON 
Redson is a variety of flax which was approved 
for certified seed production by the Wisconsin 
College of Agriculture and the Wisconsin Experi- 
ment Association. It has special merit with 
respect to yield and quantity of oil. In tests in 
Wisconsin and a number of neighboring states, 
it has averaged higher in acre yield in most 
places than the best of the old varieties. It has 
a strong plant and matures early. Very resistant 
to the wilt disease, 
Redson prices, by mail: Lb., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.50,

dinarily 80 to 40 bushels per acre.
