Dr. Jensen, Breeder of Small Grains at Cornell 
shows how much taller Advance Oats usually grow 
above Mohawk. Where straw is needed and oats 
are not apt to go down we recommend Advance.

Ceresan Treated 
MOHAWK: A new variety of yellow kernel- 
ed oats developed by the Cornell Depart- 
ment of Plant Breeding. Mohawk is about 
3 inches taller than Vicland and matures a 
few days later. It is resistant to crown rust 
and to the new blight that causes so much 
damage to our oat crops. In addition to 
being disease resistant, Mohawk has a very 
stiff straw and stands much better than most 
other varieties. In seven New York State 
regional trials the average yield of Mohawk 
was 8514 bushels per acre. See prices below. 
CLINTON 59: A new high yielding, early 
maturing variety. Clinton 59 is a reselected 
strain of Clinton showing more uniformity 
in growth and maturity. In comparative 
tests conducted by the New York State Col- 
lege of Agriculture, Mohawk seems to be a 
little better adapted to the state than Clin- 
ton. Clinton also has high resistance to 
Helminthosporium blight and rust. See 
prices below. 
ADVANCE: A medium early oat, being from 
two to four days later than Mohawk and 4 
to 6 inches taller, it has a stiffer straw than 
the common tall midseason oats although 
not so stiff as that of Mohawk. In yield, 
Advance is comparable to Mohawk and 
Clinton. It is also highly resistant to 
Helminthosporium blight and resistant to 
all prevalent races of rust except Race 45 
crown (leaf) rust. Advance is adapted to all 
oat growing areas of the state, but is espe- 
cially recommended for Northern New York 
and hill dairymen desiring more straw than 
that provided by Mohawk and Clinton.

DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 
Each year growers are finding that Domestic Rye Grass can be successfully used as a cover 
crop on more and more of their cultivated fields; grape growers are sowing it in vineyards; 
apple and peach growers are sowing Domestic Rye Grass in their orchards; dairy farmers are 
finding that it not only makes a better cover crop than rye but provides excellent late fall and 
early spring pasture; vegetable growers are seeding cabbage, sweet corn, squash, and tomato 
fields at the last cultivation with Domestic Rye Grass. 
before September Ist. 
Domestic Rye Grass sowed at the last culti- 
vation makes very little growth until frost 
has killed the crop or until it is harvested. 
From then on, until covered by snow, Domes- 
tic Rye Grass grows rapidly, forming a sod 
that protects the soil from erosion and fur- 
nishes a large amount of humus for the use 
of the following crop. 
Domestic Rye Grass should be seeded at the 
rate of 10 to 12 lbs. per acre if it is not to be 
pastured. If pastured a seeding of 20 Ibs. is 
recommended. Domestic Rye Grass forms a 
much greater root system than rye; does not 
grow as fast in the Spring, and can be sowed 
at less cost per acre. 
There is a difference in the hardiness of 
Domestic Rye Grass. Texas grown seed win- 
ter-kills much worse than seed grown farther 
North. Our seed is grown for us in Oregon.

20¢ per Ib., not prepaid.

SOY BEANS 
CAYUGA: 90 days. An early maturing va- 
riety for stock feeding and early hay crop. 
Plants grow upright, 214 to 3 ft. high with 
few branches. The stiff stalk bears a pro- 
fusion of pods containing 2 or 3 small black 
beans. 1% bu. $3.45; 1 to 4 bu. $6.35 bu.; 
4 bu. or more $6.25 bu., not prepaid. 
SENECA: 100 days. A larger plant than 
Cayuga, more branching. Produces heavy 
crops of good sized yellow beans. The yel- 
low color makes it more desirable for proc- 
essing than Cayuga. 14 bu. $3.60; 1 to 4 
bu. $6.65 bu.; 4 bu. or more $6.55 bu., not 
prepaid. 
LINCOLN: 108 days. A new cross between 
Mandarin and Manchu. Plant medium 
height, well-branched, upright. Especially 
adapted for hay and for planting with corn 
for silage in New York and Northern 
Pennsylvania. 14 bu. $3.45; 1 to 4 bu. $6.35 
bu.; 4 bu. or more $6.25 bu., not prepaid.

A record of 14 years in corn with no manure but 
each spring a cover crop of Domestic Rye Grass 
plowed under with commercial fertilizer. Domestic 
Rye Grass sowed at the last cultivation of corn 
keeps your land fertile and protects the fields 
from erosion. 
CERTIFIED ALPHA BARLEY 
2 to 214 bu. will sow 1 acre 
The most popular two-rowed variety in the 
East. Alpha is a heavy producing, large 
kerneled barley with fairly stiff straw. Ripens 
a little later than the six row varieties; heads 
do not crinkle and break off. This makes it 
especially desirable for sowing with oats or 
harvesting with combine. Certified Seed: 1 to 
10 bu. $3.00 per bu.; 10 bu. or more $2.90 per 
bu., not prepaid.

CORNELL PASTURE MIXTURES 
Every year we find more interest in improving our pastures. This is not only true on our 
so-called poor soils but is becoming even more so on our best soils where dairying is definitely 
on the increase. 
We are this year listing two types of pasture mixture — both have been approved by the 
Department of Agronomy, Cornell University. These, we feel, will fit the needs and purse of 
most dairymen. 
GENERAL PURPOSE PASTURE MIX- 
TURE: Suitable to soil high in fertility, 
not drouthy, well supplied with lime and 
fairly well adapted to Alfalfa. The mixture 
contains a high proportion of Alfalfa, plus 
Medium Red and Ladino clover and Tim- 
othy. It may be seeded either alone or with 
a companion grain crop. Hay or silage may 
be cut one year. 15 lbs. (enough for 1 acre) 
$9.65, prepaid; 50 lbs. $29.25, not prepaid; 
100 Ibs. $57.95, not prepaid. 
SEMI-PERMANENT PASTURE MIX.: For 
establishing a permanent pasture on good, 
fertile, well drained soil where care will be 
taken in grazing practices. Seeding should 
be made in April or early May without a 
companion crop. The field should be ready 
for light grazing in about sixty days from 
sowing; not suitable for hay production. 
Contains Kentucky Blue Grass, Timothy, 
Wild White Clover and Ladino Clover. 12 
Ibs. (enough for 1 acre) $8.95, prepaid; 50 
Ibs., $33.25, not prepaid; 100 Ibs. $65.95, not 
prepaid.
