SOY BEANS 
A good soil-builder when plowed under for green manure. Makes excellent 
hay or silage but is little used for pasture except for hogs. Sow when ground is 
thoroughly warm, in May or June. If used for hay, cut after the pods form. 
Use ee ong to the acre broadcast; 114 bushels when drilled. Seed should be 
inoculated. 
We offer two varieties—Wilson Black and Lincoln. Both are suitable 
for hay, silage, or soil improvement. Lincoln. Stalk is large and bushy and 
a heavy producer of both foliage and beans. Seed is yellow. Wilson. Not 
quite so rank a grower as Lincoln. Does well on most any type of soil. An 
excellent variety for green manure. A very popular variety in this section. 
OATS 
Alfalfa, red clover, permanent grass and clover mixtures can all be satis- 
factorily sown with Oats. Sow during April or early May at the rate of 2 to 3 
bushels by weight to the acre. 
CLINTON. Since its introduction several years ago, Clinton has become the 
leading variety and is now being grown by practically all farmers in this 
section. It ic resistant to both crown rust and stem rust, also root rot: has 
medium-tall, stiff straw and is early maturing. Kernels have thin hulls and 
are plump and meaty. Clintons are well suited for combining, as their ex- 
ceptionally strong straw will stand erect long after they have ripened. 
WINTER BARLEY. Good feed substituted for corn; provides excellent 
winter grazing. Wong is the most popular variety. It is semi-beardless, a 
heavy yielder and has good stiff straw. 
SPRING BARLEY. Valuable either as a grain crop or as a nurse crop for 
clover or alfalfa. Wisconsin 38 is the highest yielding variety, a six-rowed 
type with smooth heads. Requires 2 bushels of seed for an acre. 
BUCKWHEAT. A dependable crop for poor land. Matures in about two 
months and makes an excellent feed for poultry. Sow during June or early 
July, using 1 bushel of seed to the acre. 
WINTER WHEAT. Grown principally for animal feed in this section. Thorne 
because of its outstanding yields, quality of grain and stiff straw, is the 
leading variety. Sow 11% to 2 bushels to the acre. 
SPRING WHEAT. Grain is smaller and harder than Winter Wheat. Not so 
popular as Winter Wheat but gives a satisfactory yield and makes excellent 
flour. Sow in early spring, about 2 bushels to the acre. 
WINTER RYE. Grown principally for a winter cover-crop, sometimes for 
winter pasture or cut for hay. Can be sown up to the middle of November. 
Requires about 2 bushels of seed for an acre; for small garden plots, about 
5 or 6 quarts for 2,500 square feet. 
SPRING RYE. Makes an excellent green food when cut, or will supply pas- 
turage for several weeks. Sow early. 
SEED POTATOES 
It requires one-half peck to a peck of seed, depending on the size, to plant 
100 feet of row, 15 to 20 bushels for an acre. Plant in furrows 6 to 8 inches deep 
and in rows about 3 feet apart. The seed-pieces should be treated with Semesan 
Bel or Formaldehyde to help prevent scab and rhizoctonia. Vines should be 
sprayed or dusted regularly with a recommended fungicide to prevent blight. 
The stock we offer is Northern grown, U. S. Standard No. 1 and certified. 
Early Varieties 
EARLY OHIO. No other variety compares with Early Ohio for its earliness. 
Tubers are round to oblong with pink skin, white flesh and of fine quality. 
IRISH COBBLER. An extra-early, round, white Potato with rather deep 
eyes. Vines yield heavily and the tubers are of extra fine quality. A de- 
pendable variety, either for the home-garden or for growing commercially, 
CHIPPEWA. About ten days later than Irish Cobbler but superior in smooth- 
ness and whiteness, and eyes are not quite so deep. Has desirable cooking 
qualities. 
Late Varieties 
KENNEBEC. A high yielding variety of recent introduction, Tubers very 
white, short and thick; good cooking qualities. Midseason in maturity. 
Blight resistant and an excellent variety for home gardens. 
KATAHDIN. A handsome, shallow-eyed, glossy, white-skinned variety of 
fine table quality. It is roundish-oval in shape and very uniform in both 
shape and size. Gaining in popularity every year. Good yielder. 
RUSSET. Tubers round to oblong, of good size, with pure white flesh, russet 
skin, and few shallow eyes. Excellent table quality, good keeper, and very 
productive. Vines are strong and disease-resistant. 
SEBAGO. A high-yielding, smooth, white, shallow-eyed variety of excellent 
table quality. A strong grower highly resistant to blight. Very late,
