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-Immune 
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, good 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. 
NEW MARINE FLAX 
North Dakota’s New Rust & Wilt 
Resistant Flax Outyields 
All Others When Seeding is Late 
Marine is a new early maturing flax bred 
by North Dakota's Experiment Station and re- 
leased to Minnesota growers in 1952. Marine 
is resistant to all races of rust found in Min- 
nesota as well as wilt, and’ is moderately 
resistant to Pasmo. Marine matures about the 
same time as Sheyenne and Koto but yields 
of Marine run higher than these varieties. It 
does not yield quite as much as Redwood 
when seeded early. For late seeding it will 
outyield any other recommended variety. It is 
about one inch shorter than Redwood. The 
oil percent is slightly lower than Redwood but 
the Iodine number is ‘considerably higher.

It’s Ready To Plant! 
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 VARIETY 
“L" or KINDRED 
BARLEY 
A Heavy Producer in Bad Stem Rust Years! 
It matures 3 days earlier than Wisconsin 38. 
“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, fj 
with good test weight and satisfactory malting} 
quality. It has high resistance to stem rust, but 
only moderate resistance to lodging. See Blue 
Figure Price List. 
VANTAGE BARLEY 
A Recommended High Yielding Feed Barley 
Vantage is a stiff-strawed, six-rowed, smooth 
awned feed barley developed in Canada. It av- 
eraged 5 bushels more per acre than any other 
variety in Minnesota tesis. It matures 3 days 
later and grows 2 or 3 inches shorter than Kin- 
dred. It stands better than any other barley 
except Mars. It has good resistance to rust, and 
moderate resistance to net blotch. It’s suscep- 
tible to mildew, scab, loose smut and spot 
blotch. Because of its high yields and stiff straw, 
Vantage is officially recommended as a feed 
barley for all sections of Minnesota, See Blue Blue Figure Price List

APPROVED SPRING WHEATS 
for the Upper Midwest 
NEW LEE WHEAT HENRY WHEAT 
Shows Resistance to All Common, The Biggest Producer of 
Prevalent Races of Leaf and Stem Rust! Feed Wheat! 
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 
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 Tust, and is 
exceptionally high yielding. Henry averaged 33l4 
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. 
SORGHUM CANE 
MINNESOTA ORANGE SORGHUM 
An early strain selected from Waconia Oranqe. 
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.) 
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 lbs. in drills per acre. 
(See Blue Figure Price List.) 
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. 
Minn. and Iowa Stations recommend grow- 
ing Minnesota Orange Sorghum for syrup. 
It can be trucked to sorghum mills in either 
state, for syrup production.
