Current prices on application 


Buckwheat yields best on fertile, well-drained, sandy loam, but is a 
splendid crop for poor thin soils. Used for cover crop in orchards and for 
controlling weeds, as it will choke them out. Excellent bee pasture. Sow 
June to July, one bushel per acre. Matures in about 70 days.

Spring Barley 
Current prices on application 
Wisconsin No. 38. Six-rowed; smooth awned, heavy yielding sort, with long full heads; stools freely. 
This is superior to, and takes the place of Oderbrucker. 
Rye 
Current prices on application 
Spring. It is an excellent catch-crop 
where winter grain has been killed out 
making good straw and fair yield of 
grain. 
FALL OR WINTER RYE 
Rosen Type Winter Rye. Used exten- 
sively as a winter cover crop, also winter 
pasture. Can be sown late August and 
throughout September and October. Use 
114 bushels per acre if sown early; for late 
sowing use 2 bushels. Rosen Type Rye, 
grown and recleaned for seed is superior 
to common rye, whether sown for cover 
crop or grain. As a cover crop it will pro- 
duce a better stand and add more humus 
to the soil. For best results plow under 
ela before it is more than 12 inches 
tall. 
Oats 
Current prices cn application 
Seed Oats. It pays well to use high 
grade seed oats. Whether the oats are to 
be cut for green feed or threshed for 
grain, only seed stock should be used. The 
increased crop will pay many times the 
small difference in cost of seed. 
Victory Type. A tall growing medium 
late variety, strong, stiff strawed oat with 
large, heavy, thin hulled kernel. Probably 
the heaviest yielding of all oats for the 
Northeastern States, especially well suited 
for cutting green. It is superior to 
Swedish Select. Victory Type Oats
