~HARDY NORTHERN GROWN 
ALFALFA 
Any sweet soil, with drainage, will produce Alfalfa. 
There is hardly a farm where a suitable location for a 
field of Alfalfa cannot be found. Soil that produces 
good crops of small grains, clover and potatoes, is 
usually suitable. Drill in 12 Ibs. per acre or sow 20 lbs. 
per acre broadcast. 
PRICES ON ALL FIELD SEEDS ARE SUB- 
JECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT. NOTICE. 
PLEASE ORDER EARLY. 
RANGER ALFALFA 
‘Wilt and Disease Resistant 
Here’s the new synthetic variety you have read about. 
Developed by U. S. D. A. and Nebraska’s Experiment 
Station. The result of compositing five strains from 
Cossack, Turkestan and Ladak parentage. Ranger has 
high resistance to bacterial wilt and other diseases. It 
is winter hardy, and has variegated blossoms, with 
some yellow flowers. In seed production, Ranger equals 
Grimm, Cossack and Baltic, and surpasses Turkestan. 
Ranger is well adapted to the northern states, par- 
ticularly where bacterial wilt reduces stand. Grimm, 
Ladak or Cossack will yield about as much hay as 
Ranger where wilt is not troublesome, but Ranger will 
-outyield these varieties wherever wilt becomes a factor, 
Recommended by Minnesota and all other northern Ex- 
periment Stations.

LADAK ALFALFA 
Wilt resistant, and claimed to be the hardiest and 
highest yielding alfalfa! Ladak has consistently shown 
less winter killing than any other alfalfa, including 
Grimm, and has survived long and severe drouths 
where all other alfalfas were injured or killed. In addi- 
tion, Ladak resists wilt; 55 varieties of Ladak in a test 
showed a fair stand after all the other alfalfas were 
95% killed by wilt. 
Ladak is a heavy yielder, producing a fine stemmed 
-and exceptionally leafy hay.

BARLEY 
Sow 114 to 2 bu. per acre; 48 Ibs. in one bushel. 
“L’”? OR KINDRED BARLEY 
“T”” is a rough-awned, six rowed, early to mid-season 
variety, resistant to stem rust and moderately resistant 
to spot blotch and net blotch as well as foot rots. ‘‘L”’ 
was developed on a farm near Kindred, N. Dakota from 
a single plant selection that was found free of stem 
‘rust in a field that was badly damaged by rust. Yields 
‘have been high in Minnesota and North Dakota as well 
as in Wisconsin and the malting quality is very good, 
this barley being in demand for malting purposes.

ODERBRUCKER BARLEY 
A heavy yielding mid-season barley highly prized by 
the malting industry. Oderbrucker is a pedigreed selec- 
*tion of the Manchuria type made at the Wisconsin 
Agri. Experiment Station, from where it was widely 
distributed over the United States, giving high yields 
at many of the experiment stations. While it has been 
promising over a wide area, it is particularly well 
adapted to Wisconsin and the surrounding states. It 
is medium in tallness and strength of straw, has large 
plump kernels and is very rich in protein. Because of 
its malting quality, Oderbrucker brings higher market 
- prices than Moore Barley and other feeding varieties, 
Moderately resistant to spot blotch disease.

TERRA VERDE BRAND ALFALFA 
(Not Hardy) 
The ideal one season hay crop. Terra Verde Brand Al- 
falfa is a special selection of the best strains of non- 
hardy, fast growing alfalfas for catch hay crop and 
green manure purposes. Fields low in fertility due to 
the growing of cash crops and repeated cultivation, 
need humus and nitrogen which can, be restored by the 
plowing under of Terra Verde. Growing crops extract 
moisture, minerals and other plant food from the soil 
and the increased use of farm machinery has a ten- 
dency to compact the soil, so it will not aerate nor 
absorb moisture properly. Terra Verde Alfalfa with 
its long, strong roots, helps to break up soil compaction 
and improve drainage and the heavy top and root 
growth when plowed under will greatly help to replace 
fertility. 
Terra Verde Brand Alfalfa is farmed like other al- 
falfas and adapted to any soil where regular winter- 
hardy alfalfas grow. It does better in hot dry weather 
than other alfalfa, producing exceptional top and 
root growth. 
The seed bed should be firm and the seed should be 
planted very shallow and soil firmed over the seed. Seed 
should be inoculated to increase nodulation and nitro- 
gen fixation. This alfalfa may be sown with commer- 
cial crops such as peas or with a nurse crop of oats, 
barley, rye or wheat. Fields may be used for emergency 
hay or pasture after harvest of crop of peas, etc., and 
still plowed under the same Fall.

MONTCALM BARLEY 
Montcalm a Canadian origination is six-rowed, smooth 
awned and is an accepted and satisfactory malting 
variety. It is strong strawed, grows erect and fairly 
tall and outyields many of the other well known bar- 
leys. The grain is of medium maturity and a little 
earlier than Wisconsin No. 88 and there is very little 
shattering and loss of heads in the field. Montcalm also 
shows greater resistance to disease than many other 
varieties and it is adapted to a wide area, extending 
from Canada, south into Iowa.
