Be Sure to Inoculate All Soybeans 


CE R Y if F U ED HA WKEYE EARLY—NEWEST VARIETY 
The Hawkeye is the greatest improvement in Soy Beans in recent years. Farmers living in northern Illinois 
and similar latitudes can now raise an early bean that will produce just as heavy as the later variéties. Many 
farmers in the “late bean” area find that the Hawkeye will produce big yields in those areas, too. It is a tall 
growing bean, the pods forming from the.bottom to the very top of the stalk. Soy Bean processors prefer the 
Hawkeye Bean because of the high oil content. We offer Certified stock only. In one field near Chicago, Hawk- 
eyes yielded 47.8 bu. per acre drilled 30% lbs. per acre in rows 36 inches apart. ITEM NO 185 
LINCOLN SOY BEANS 


HEAVY YIELDER 
For several years the Lincoln has been the biggest producing bean in the main producing sections. From cen- 
tral Illinois and Indiana on south it is hard to beat. Matures several days later than the Hawkeye. High in 
oil content and does not shatter as badly when ripe as some of the earlier varieties. In cultured rows we rec- 
ommend drilling 30 to 40 Ibs. per acre. Soy Beans should be inoculated for healthier growth and soil improve- 
ment. The Lincoln has been grown successfully as far north as Michigan and southern Wisconsin. Has out- 
yielded older varieties like Illini and Mukden by as much as 30%. A profitable crop to raise. TEM NO 182 


: RICHL AND SOY BEANS EARLY MATURING 
These beans are very popular with thousands of farmers in the northern part of the corn belt. Many farmers 
went back to Richlands last year. They mature about 8 or 10 days earlier than the Lincoln and some other late 
yellow Soy Beans. This early maturity often means the difference between a successful crop and a failure. You 
can combine Richland before other beans are out of the way of a frost or rainy season. They can be planted a 
little later in the spring than the late varieties. The Richland grows erect but not quite as tall as Illini, Dun- 
field and Lincoln. There is very little lodging in the Richland. They, do well on extra rich and heavy soil.

SOY BEANS FOR HAY 
“VIRGINIA BROWN” 

“BLACK KINGWA” 
The Kingwa is one of the best varieties of Soy Beans for hay. 
These are known as the Virginia Type of Brown Soy Beans. 
Used principally for a hay crop in the northern part of the corn- 
belt. Stems are slender, making it easier to cure; also giving a 
finer quality of hay. The bean for seed is smaller than most of 
the yellow beans and takes less seed per acre. About 1% bushels 
make a heavy seeding for a hay crop. ITEM NO 187 
They grow tall and leafy. They make a large growth and fine 
quality of hay. A great Soy Bean for planting with Corn. They 
grow well on medium to poor soil, Will make 25%. more hay 
than most of the yellow beans. Is a medium late type. Sow 1% 
to 1% bushels per acre. ITEM NO. 188 

CanadianType FIELD PEAS 

It is a pleasure for me to state that all of the seed I bought 
from you during the past 15 years was 100% satisfactory, pro- 
duced an excellent crop every year. The service I received 
during that time was very satisfactory, 
A crop that will give quick results. Sow them as 
early as you can work the ground. Disc in a bushel 
of Peas with a couple of bushels of Oats. Produces a 
big yield of excellent hay early. Can be pastured or 
fed green very. early. Makes a fine feed. You can 
harvest Oats and Péas together for seed and separate 
them after threshing. Field Peas plowed under in full bloom make a wonderful fertilizer. 
This is just the crop that farmers will need this spring. Be sure to order early and get them in the ground 
early. They want cool weather and will stand considerable frost. Germination is high and our price is a real) 
bargain. TTEM NO. 189
