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. 
All our Flax Seed is ‘‘Chem-Coated.”’ Sow 3 to 4 
pecks per acre. 
NEW REDWOOD FLAX 
Minnesota’s New Rust-Ilmmune 
Flax! 
Here’s Minnesota's new high yielding flax that's 
IMMUNE to all types of rust found in Minnesota. 
Redwood has also proved moderately resistant to 
wilt and pasmo diseases. It has medium sized 
seeds, goed oil content and good oil quality. In 
fibre it is equal to the best varieties. Redwood 
is adapted to all parts of the state -where flax is 
successfully grown. It is a selection from a cross 
made at Minnesota's Experiment Station in co- 
operation with U.S.D.A. The States of North and 
South Dakota, as well as Minnesota, have co- 
operated in increasing and distributing seed of 
this outstanding new flax variety for the upper 
mid-west, See Blue Figure Price List. 
Approved Spring Wheat 
NEW LEE WHEAT 
Shows Resistance to All Common, 
Prevalent Races of Leaf and Stem Rust! 
New Lee is an early, bearded spring wheat 
with good strength of straw, high test weight and 
appears to equal Thatcher in milling and baking 
qualities. It’s recommended for sections of Min- 
nesota except the southern area. It is moderately 
resistant to bunt, and moderately susceptible to 
loose smut. It is moderately resistant to the most 
troublesome types of leaf and stem rust, but 
susceptible to race 15B that was prevalent for 
the first time in 1950. Even with late planting in 
1950, Lee was not severly damaged by 15B. Lee 
was developed by Minnesota’s Experiment Sta- 
tion and U.S.D.A. 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.

THE BEST BARLEY VARIETIES 
“L" or KINDRED 
BARLEY 
A Heavy Producer in Bad Stem Rust Years! 
It matures 3 days earlier than Wisconsin 38. 
“L'’ has an outstanding yield record, is not as 
subject to blight and root rots as Wisconsin 38, 
and is recommended by Minnesota’s Experiment 
Station. “‘L’’ Barley is a 6-rowed, rough awned 
variety of white aleurone. It's very high in yield, F¥; 
with good test weight and satisfactory malting 
quality. It has high resistance to stem rust, but 
only moderate resistance to lodging.

MOORE BARLEY 
Wisconsin’s New Malting Barley 
with Extra Stiff Straw 
Moore grows to the same height as Wisconsin 
38, but the straw is stiffer and heads remain erect 
until harvest time. In widespread tests, yields 
were well above other accepted malting varieties. 
It's well adapted to fertile soils. Moore is a six 
rowed, white barley, with a moderately compact 
head, and long, wide-spreading, smooth awns. 
Moore is now being recommended by most Ex- 
periment Stations in Malting Barley areas. It 
pearls white. See Blue Figure Price List. 
Wisconsin ‘'38’’ or Barbless 
The Popular Favorite Throughout the Midwest! 
A smooth awned, six rowed, white aleurone 
variety, with high yielding ability. Barbless is 
resistant to barley stripe, moderately susceptible 
to spot blotch, and susceptible to scab, loose smut, 
and stem and leaf rusts. It has moderately stiff 
straw. It is an excellent malting variety. Recom- 
mended by Minnesota's Experiment Station. See 
Blue Figure Price List.

ing Minnesota Orange Sorghum for syrup. 
It can be trucked to sorghum mills in either 
state, for syrup production. 
SORGHUM CANE 
MINNESOTA ORANGE SORGHUM 
An early strain selected from Waconia Orange, 
grown in Southern and South Central Minnesota 
for many years. Grows heavier but shorter stalks 
than Amber Cane and withstands storms and wet 
weather without lodging. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per 
acre for syrup. An- excellent sweet stalk sorgo, 
that produces 5 to 10 tons of quality cane per acre, 
and 25 to 40 bushels of seed per acre. Over 200 
gallons of delicious, golden yellow syrup from 
one acre! This sorghum syrup is preferred by 
consumers because it’s lighter in color. Price: 
5 Ibs. $1.25, postpaid. (See Price List.) 
r FODDER CAN E — (Southern Grown.) 
A profitable feed crop producing as much as 30 
to 35 tons of green feed per acre. It makes good 
hay if cut before it grows too high. It matures 
later than Early Amber Cane. Sow 50 to 60 lbs. 
broadcast or 12 to 15 Ibs. in drills per acre.
