TO GET BiG FLAX YIELDS— 
Sow early right after grains are planted. The 
earlier that Flax is sown, the better able the 
plant will be to withstand wilt and other diseases. 
Treat seed with Ceresan—Page 67. Sow 3 to 4 
pecks per acre. 
NEW DAKOTA FLAX 
Now the Best Performer 
Throughout the Midwest! 
This new flax from North Dakota's Agricultural 
College has proved one of the highest yielding 
varieties in most all flax growing sections. It 
appears well. adapted in a wide range of en- 
vironments. In official Minnesota trials (3-year 
average), Dakota yielded 19.6 bu. per acre; Koto, 
19.0 bu., and Minera, 17.9 bu. Official North 
Dakota trials—Dakota, 23.2 bu.; Bison, 11.1 bu.; 
Koto, 19.4 bu. 
Dakota is midseason in maturity. Plants are of 
medium height, have strong straw, and have 
proved resistant to rust and wilt, with moderate 
resistance to pasmo. Seeds are brown and slightly 
smaller than Bison, Oil content and quality, equal 
to Red Wing. Recommended by Minnesota and 
North Dakota Agricultural Colleges. See Blue 
Figure Price List. 
Approved Spring Wheat 
MIDA WHEAT 
The Highest Yielder with 
Good Milling Quality! 
A new bearded, early maturing spring wheat 
with medium straw strength. Moderately resistant 
to leaf and stem rust and bunt, susceptible to 
loose smut, and moderately susceptible to scab. 
It has a high test weight per bushel and equals 
Thatcher in milling and baking characters except 
that it gives lower loaf volume. In 3 year tests 
(1941 to 1943) in North Dakota, Minnesota, South 
Dakota and Montana, it outyielded Thatcher by 
13.8%. Mida was developed from Ceres-Hope- 
Florence parentage by North Dakota Experiment 
Station. In 1945 U.S.D.A. trials, Mida averaged 
29.5 bushels per acre, the highest yielding wheat 
at all 24 Regional Stations. Recommended by 
Minnesota Experiment Station. See Blue Figure 
Price List. 
HENRY WHEAT 
The Biggest Producer of 
Feed Wheat! 
A higher yielding, hard red spring wheat re- 
cently developed by Wisconsin Experiment Sta- 
tion and U.S.D.A. It's considered a tall variety, 
although slightly shorter than Mida. It matures 
early, is moderately resistant to stem rust, and is 
exceptionally high yielding. Henry averaged 331 
bushels per acre for 5 years in Minnesota tests 
at several locations. This is 4 bushels more, or 
13% higher than Mida. Henry is a most valuable 
feed wheat variety, but is not recommended 
where hard red spring wheat is grown for milling 
purposes, because of its poor milling quality. 
See Blue Figure Price List. 
Generally the best grain crop for poor, thin 
land. Seed at the rate of 3 or 4 pecks per acre, 
late in the season when all danger of frost is 
past. Matures in 10 to 12 weeks. An excellent 
catch crop. Yields vary from 15 to 30 bushels per 
acre. An excellent weed eradicator, as it offers 
severe competition to weeds. See Blue Figure 
Price List.

HEADS OF WIS. 38 & MOORE 
Moore has wide-spreading, smooth awns, 
and the heads remain erect until harvest 
time. 
TYPICAL MOORE BARLEY KERNELS 
The hulls of Moore are thinner and stick 
tighter to the kernel than those of Wiscon- 
sin 38. This results in less skinning during 
threshing, and makes it easier to meet 
malting standards with your entire crop.
