SOY BEANS 
Soy Beans are grown for the grain, for hay, for 
silage, for “hogging down’”’ or for plowing under 
to improve the soil. They are planted at about the 
same time as corn, when soil is well-warmed up. 
We recommend shallow planting, 1 inch deep. 
In rows 1 bu. of seed per acre 
In drills 1% bu. of seed per acre 
Always Inoculate Soy Bean Seed with Nitragin 
Lincoln. In our section most growers plant Soy 
Beans for hay and want big plant growth. We 
find Lincoln best for that purpose and if planted 
early it will mature the seed. It is a very heavy 
yielder and ranks at the top for oil content. A 
week later than Richland. 
Hawkeye. This new Soy Bean matures early, at same 
time as Richland. It makes a large plant, is equal 
in standing ability and outyields Richland 3 to 4 
bu. per acre. 
Wilson Black. Late heavy variety for hay. 
Prices on All Farm Seeds 
We cannot print definite prices for spring de- 
livery this date (November). However, we are and 
will be in position to take care of your needs on 
the right basis. We do not know what futures will 
be; the markets are strong, however, and early 
buying is liable to save you money. Come in and 
check up with Mr. Berger any time or drop us a line.

CLINTON 59 OATS 
Now Proven to Ohio Farmers 
Since spring of 1948 we have urged the farmers 
of our area to sow Clinton Oats. This policy has 
certainly been justified by performance the past two 
years. Clinton has proven the best in yields and 
resistance to disease. 
Clinton in addition is very stiff strawed, stools 
very heavily and is medium height. In season it is a 
week to 10 days later than Vicland. Clinton has 
high test weight, the kernels are plump and heavy 
with thin hulls. 
Clinton 59 overcomes the only faults found in 
original Clinton. Clinton 59 has greater uniformity 
in bearing and maturity, a characteristic of decided 
value. In trials last year 59 slightly out yielded 
Clinton, which just about tells the whole story. 
We recommend sowing at rate of 2 bu. per acre. 
CLINTON NO. 11 
A strain in every way similar to Clinton 59. 
This spring we will have both 59 and 11 for sale 
in Certified and Treated stocks. 
Ask for prices and buy requirements early. 
WAYNE OATS 
The old standby on so many farms in this area. A 
week to 10 days later than Clinton, it is a big yielder 
and has stiff lodge resistant straw. 
Ask for prices on both Certified and Uncertified 
stocks. 
Other Spring Grains 
Barley, Velvet Spring. Best variety for Ohio. 
Smooth awned, 6 rowed. Sow Q bu. per acre. 
Buckwheat. Sow 50 to 60 lbs. per acre in late 
June or early July. 
Grains for Fall Sowing 
Thorne and New Butler Wheats 
Balboa Rye—Heavy stooling for fall pasture. 
Winter Barley—Giving good yields. 
TREAT SMALL GRAINS 
WITH CERESAN 
Controls smuts and some other diseases. If 
your seed is not already treated, you should 
by all means do this for extra yields and 
cleaner seed at harvest, and better price for 
your crop. 
New Imp. Ceresan. Use '% oz. per bushel of 
ae, 4 oz. can 45c, 1 Ib. $1.00, 4 Ib. can 
3.40. 
Ceresan M. Experiment Stations call this the 
‘nearest to perfect’ small grain treatment. 
14 oz. can $1.00, 3 Ib. can $2.85.
