CERTIFIED CLINTON SEED OATS. Outstanding for yield, 
test weight and strength of straw. A medium tall, yellow, early 
Oat with plump kernels and thin hulls. Provides valuable Oats 
for feeding. Resistant to halo blight and helminthosporium 
leaf blotch. Of marked advantage in wet years when diseases 
are prevalent. 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE. A mixture of high- 
germinating seed that will give you a satisfactory pasture.

SWEET SUDAN GRASS. Resists foliage disease and drought; 
stays green and continues to grow several weeks in the fall 
after Common Sudan has turned; produces a better quality 
of foliage and more seed. And to this production economy of 
Sweet Sudan, add the still greater economy of its inherent 
ability to promote faster development of livestock. Hog 
raisers and beef cattlemen, as well as dairy farmers, find 
juicy Sweet Sudan Grass a sure way to decrease feeding costs 
through increasing the value of livestock, and thus add to 
their profit.

CANADIAN BLUE GRASS. A hardy perennial grass producing 
fine pasturage for cattle The creeping rootstalks make a 
sturdy turf. Stems are flattened and wiry but rich in food 
value. Grows well on poor, dry soil and stands the extremes

More POTATOES 
Through Use of Good Seed 
One of the easiest and best ways to obtain more Potatoes per 
acre is through the use of sound, healthy Certified Seed Potatoes. 
Good Certified Seed Potatoes are those grown especially for 
seed purposes. They are free, or practically free, from serious 
seed-borne diseases, true to name, and selected for high yields. 
Further, they are harvested at the right time, handled carefully, 
stored properly and shipped under the best transportation con- 
ditions. 
A blue tag marked Certified Seed Potatoes is attached to each 
bag, which must pass rigid tests and inspections by the State 
of Maine. 
Certified Seed Potatoes in the Jong run can be counted on to 
give nearly twice the yield of ordinary Potatoes. 
Use Certified Maine Seed for the best results.

Introducing Maine’s New Variety— 
KENNEBEC 
This will be available for distribution this year m limited quan- 
tities. We don’t know enough about all of its characteristics yet, 
but we do want you to have our impression to date and our re- 
actions to its possibilities. 
Kennebec has given outstanding results in trials from Florida 
to the Canadian border. It appears to be adaptable to all types 
of soils and temperatures. It ts the best eating Potato Maine has 
ever produced outside of Green Mountain, and it is the heaviest 
yielder ever produced in Maine. The tubers have shallow eyes 
and white skin. Their shape is half-way between the oblong 
Mountain and the round Katahdin. 
Kennebec grows a very heavy vine. It is immune to the com- 
mon strains of late blight and the tubers will not decay when in- 
oculated with Iate blight. We don’t call Kennebec blight-proof 
but at least it is very highly resistant. It sets somewhat lighter 
than a Katahdin and grows big tubers. We suggest close planting. 
This new variety grows very rapidly. When dug immature, it 
yields more than any other late variety we know about. A 
combination of rapid growth, blight resistance, heavy yields and 
good eating should make it our most popular variety. 
Don’t fail to try Kennebec! Some fields in Maine this year 
have yielded as high as 900 bushels per acre. 
COBBLER. An extra-early white Potato of fine quality. Smooth,
