FOR MARKET GARDENERS and other . judicious and careful growers who sow the best. 1887 MANN S’ 1927 ASPARAGUS 1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 1b. per acre; 3,000 plants per acre. | Asparagus grows easily in almost any good soil, but best results are obtained in well-enriched, deeply dug, sandy loam. It may be grown from seed, but much time is saved by planting roots. | If you wish to grow plants from the seed yourself, sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and two inches deep in light, rich soil, plant- | ing fifteen to twenty seeds to each foot of row. When the plants are | well up, thin to about one inch apart and give frequent and thorough | cultivation during the summer. If this has been well done, the plants | will be fit to set the next spring. The permanent bed should be prepared by deep plowing or spading and thoroughly enriching the ground with stable manure or other fer- | tilizer; a moist, sandy soil is best. Set the plants about four inches deep and one to two feet apart in rows four to six feet apart. After the plants are well started, give frequent and thorough cultivation. Early the next spring spade in a heavy dressing of manure and about one quart of salt and double the quantity of fresh wood ashes to each square rod and cultivate well as long as the size of plants will permit, or until they begin to die down. The next season the bed may be cut over two or three times, but if this is done, all the shoots, no matter how small, should be cut. After the final cutting. give a good dressing of manure, ashes and salt. Cultivate frequently until the plants meet inthe rows. i In autumn after the tops are fully ripe and yellow, they should be cut and burned. A bed fifteen by fifty feet, requiring about one hundred plants, if well cultivated and manured, should give the following season | an abundant supply for an ordinary family and continue productive for eight or ten years. Famous French variety noted for its earli- Giant Argenteuil ness and size.

Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. Sow- ing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the seed 1 % to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row according to variety. Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid working them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well- drained, sandy loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th.

It is very rare or unknown in the semi-arid region of the West where cur Bean seed is Srown, and with this disease-free seed, the damage from spot may be reduced con- siderably by the customary methods of crop rotation, burning the refuse, destruction of weeds, and improving the air and soil drainage. For a successful crop, plant disease-free seed, and practice crop ro- tation, never planting Beans on land where the same crop grew the previous season; do not cultivate or walk through the Bean field or pick beans while wet with dew or rain. If the disease is present, it is then easily spread from one part of the field to another. Disease-free soil is just as essential as clean seed in the production of a crop free from spot.

CULTURE:—The best results are obtained from a well-drained» deep rich loam. The very early varieties should be sown about September 15th and in 4 or 5 weeks transplanted to coldframes, from which they are transplanted to open ground from March 15 to April 15. If this is not done the seed should be sown in hotbeds in February; making plantings later of course according to variety and time crop is wanted. The earliest sorts should be set out in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. If it is not especially desired to have very early cabbage the seed may be sown in open ground and transplanted after 4 weeks. For second early crops sow in April and transplant in May; these will mature in July and August. The later varieties should be planted in May and transplanted in July to rows 8 ft. apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; these will mature from September to November.

SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS Early Snowball Cauliflower CHINESE CABBAGE Chinese or Celery Cabbage belongs to the cabbage family but more closely resembles lettuce. It is a delicious vegetable served either as a salad like lettuce or a cold-slaw. When boiled it is even more palatable than cabbage and resembles Brussels Sprouts in flavor. For best results plant the seed late in July or very early in August as spring plantings in this section are liable to bolt to seed. Plant the seed in the permanent bed and thin out to stand 12 to 15 inches apart. Transplanting is not practical, cul- tivate same as cabbage.

The heads are large, compact and the crisp, tender interior blanches to a creamy white. Ie will stand long before bolting to seed and is not injured CAULIFLOWER 1 ounce to 2,000 plants. This delicious and very profitable vegetable is not as exten- sively grown as it should be because many gardeners have an erroneous opinion that cauliflower is difficult to grow. Anyone will be reasonably sure of success if the following suggestions are followed: For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot- bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 3 inches apart thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigorous growth before being set in the permanent rows. As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plants in the open ground in rows 244 to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row. The soil for Cauliflower should be like that for cab- bage, but it is better if an additional quantity of manure is used so that the ground is very rich. Cultivate often and thoroughly. For fall crop sow the seeds during April or May. It is well to plan so that the early crop heads before very hot weather and the late crop matures after hot weather. Plenty of moisture is needed at all stages of growth but is especially necessary when the plants are heading. At this time the leaves should be loosely tied over the heads as a protection from the sun. Cauliflower is highly esteemed for its mild, delicate flavor and always commands a favorable price in the markets. The best early variety in cultivation Early Snowball If planted March Ist, large heads will be produced early in June, and scarcely a single plant will fail to form a head.

CULTURE:—Any good soil will grow this vegetable, but the most perfect roots however, are developed in rich, friable soil, preferably sandy loam. The flavor and tenderness of the table varieties is secured by having a quick growth, which usually means good growing weather and proper cultivation. Sow as early as the ground can be worked or for late crop until the latter part of July, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart, finally thinning the plants to 3 to 4 inches in the drills. The seed is slow to germinate and if sown early or on moist soil, half an inch is deep enough. When sown during the hot summer months it is well to protect the séed bed with a thin layer of chips or straw as excessive heat will kill the vitality of the seeds before they germinate. After the seed has sprouted remove the covering, selecting the late afternoon for this work. Carrots are usually quite free from pests and diseases. The usual danger from ground worms and slugs if of course always prevalent, but once up they are easier to grow than most vegetables. They are ready for table use in about two months.

Celery seed is very slow to germinate and therefore should be started indoors in boxes from February to April or sown out of doors in a finely prepared seed bed during April. See that the seed is not covered too deep and that the bed is kept moist, almost wet until the seeds germinate. When the plants are about two inches high thin out and transplant to a distance of two or three _ inches apart each way. These must be kept entirely free from weeds and when they are four inches high the tops may be cut off so that the plants will grow more stocky. The slants are usually set out in the permanent bed when five inches high and it is usually best to do this during July or the first of August. In some sections best results are obtained by transplanting in June. The permanent beds should be thoroughly prepared and well enriched with rotted manure, which should be spaded in deeply, the rows being spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. Cut off some of the root and set the plants 8 to 12 inches apart in the rows, firming the soil tightly, and cultivate them frequently for a period of six weeks. Celery needs plenty of moisture. When the plants are nearly full grown they should be blanched. This is done by drawing the soil closely about the plants to about two-thirds of their height, being careful not to allow any of the earth to fall between the leaves. Repeat this process every few days until] only the top of the leaves are visible. Do not disturb the plants while they are wet or the soil is damp as this is liable to result in injury from rust. Golden Plume This new strain of Golden Self-Blanch- ing has been pronounced by authorities to be the best of all the early varieties. It matures two or three weeks earlier than any other sort, blanches more quickly and shows less tendency to blight or crown-rot. Distinctly larger and ranker in growth than Golden Self-Blanching; more plainly ribbed and does not grow hollow. The crisp, tender stalks are very broad and the large full plumed centers are displayed to advantage. Combining the assets of earliness, finest qulaity and appearance Golden Plume offers a splendid cpportunity to Market Gardeners.

For early crop sow ina seed-bed in September or October and protect through the winter with cold frames, which should be removed as soon as danger of severe freezing is past. Lettuce in the open ground will stand some freezing but is killed by prolonged frost or frequent freezing and thawing. The seed may also be sown in hotbeds in March, and the plants, if well hardened, may usually be set in the open ground in April, maturing a crop much earlier than complete open ground cultivation would produce. If, however, it is not convenient to get the plants started either in the fall or early spring in hotbeds, the seed may be sown in open ground from the middle of April until July, selecting va- rieties suitable for the season.

To grow sets 10 ozs. to 190 feet of drill; 50 Ibs. to the acre. The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well-rotted manure freely, and get the seed in as early as possible in the spring, no matter if it is cold and unpleasant. If onions do not get a good growth before hot, dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Keep the soil mellow and clear of weeds. Sow im shallow drills, not less than a foot apart nor more than half an inch deep. As onions grow on top of the ground, they may be al- lowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In hoeing, destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow; do not cover the young bulbs with earth. It is useless to try to grow onions on poor, unsuitable soil. Three days neglect when the weeds are growing rapidly will some- times ruin a crop, and a week too late in sowing makes the difference between a good and a bad harvest. With proper manuring, onions can be grown on the same land for a score of years, and it will become cleaner and better every year.

Potatoes are of medium size, and require less seed per acre than Planters who have tried them will use no Prices on application. Second Crop Seed Maine-grown stock. other. pieces should be soaked in a for- maldehyde solution as a preventa- tive. —/ For a very early crop, run off furrows about three feet apart and about four inches deep. Drop the pieces about 15 inches apart in the lurrows and cover to a depth of about 14 inches, gradually filling in the furrows to level as the vines grow larger. For main crop it is just as well to cover the eyes with four inches of soil at once. If fer- tilizer is used, apply it either in the row or broadcast before planting - and be sure that it is thoroughly mixed with the soil so that the seed is not burned, Fresh stable ma- nure will cause the potatoes to become scabby. Just before the sprouts have ap- peared above the ground run a hight harrow over them to kill the weeds and break up the crust. Continue weeding and harrowing until there is danger of breaking off too many sprouts. Cultivate thoroughly and frequently, being careful not to cut any of the roots, continuing until the vines have at- tained full growth and begin to ‘spread. Spraying for insects and blight is very necessary, Pyrox, Bug Death, etc., giving very satisfactory results. The size and quality of the crop and the ability to resist disease is directly dependent upon the seed planted and no amount of cultiva- tion or attention will offest the uncontrollable results of poor seed.

This field of spinach produced 900 bu. per acre and every bushel sold at a fancy price. Mr. Gorsuch is an expert Spinach grower and we are very glad to number him among our customers who are using our Spinach Seed in ton lots. The confidence in our stocks and the enthusiasm shown by these large growers, convinces us that we are successfully leading the way to Superior Strains of seed stocks, at prices which are fair and reasonable. Manns’ Reselected Bloomsdale Savoy This new strain has been developed in response to the urgent demand on the part of large spinach growers for an improvement in the quality of the regular commercial Bloomsdale grown in Huiland. The crops produced from it are so far superior in quality to the regular commercial stocks of Bloomsdale Savoy, chat practically all large growers are using it to the exclusion of the un-selected stock. There is just a little difference in the prices of the seed but the market value of the crop is greatly increased. Mann’s Reselec- ted Savoy cuts more bushels per acre because of its perfectly savoyed luxuriant growth, and commands a higher price per bushel because of its fancy quality. The plants are large, heavy, uniform and in every way especially re-selected to match the ideal Bloomsdale Savoy type. Lb., 20c; 10 Ibs., $1.60; 25 Ibs., $3.75; 100 Ibs., $14.00.

One of the most staple. vege- tables- of the American table, possessing highly valuable and health giving qualities; easily grown, requiring but little atten- tion and in sections where the soil is rich, very profitable crops are produced. Select a rich piece of ground, the richer the better; and for late spring and early summer use, sow the seed during February, March and April in drills one foot to 20 inches apart, one-half to one inch deep. When the plants are well started thin out to 4 to 6 inches apart, or sow the seed thinly and allow all the plants to stand.

Virginia Blight Resistant Bloomsdale A strain of Bloomsdale Savoy especially developed by the Virginia Experimental Station for the purpose of resisting the disease commonly called yellows. Used extensively in the vicinity of Norfolk and in other sections where blight is encountered.

This feature is worth thousands of dollars to spinach growers, for with this variety it is possible to market the crop when it is convenient and advantageous for the grower to do so. Many severe losses have been incurred because cutters were not available, weather conditions unfavorable, or prices were too low, but Early Long Standing will wait for cutters, for weather, and for prices. Last season many of our customers doubled their receipts from the crops, by simply waiting ten days for a higher market. Early Long Standing holds up exceedingly well for shipping as it isof good heavy substance. The leaves are intensely savoyed andof a beautiful dark green color.

Later sowing may be made until the last of April. apart in another hotbed or cold frame, or removed into small pots allowing a single plant to the pot. ; Water freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a few days until the plants are established. Cultivate sible to harden. When the plants are 3 or 4 inches high they should be set out 4 or 5 inches Expose to the air as much as pos- thoroughly as long as the vines will permit, but the last two or three workings should be very shallow or the crop may be badly injured, especally if the cultivator is run too near the plants.

Very prolific, with liberal foliage to protect the fruit from the sun. The beautiful scarlet-red fruit is set in clusters of 5 or more.

Department of Agriculture is with- out doubt the most wonderful development ever offered tomato growers. We quote the following desciption given us by Dr. Fred J. Prichard, of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. “ln regard to the description of the Marglobe I would say that it is a very prelific, second-early, red-fruited variety. It usually produces heavy yields of large smooth, globular, meaty, red fruits. They have a de- lightful flavor, and are covered with a thitk skin which hinders cracking. Moreover, the plants shade the fruits well and thus protect them from sun-scald. The Marglobe is giving excellent results in both the shipping and canning regions and gives much promise of wide use within the next few years. In fact, after one season’s tests in southeast Florida approximately 1,000 cars were shipped the following winter. With the exception of a few fields for a first early crop, Mar- globe will be grown almost exclusively in this region the present winter. Marglobe is giving excellentresults in shipping and canning regions throughout the east and middle west.” Marglobe has been developed primarily to resist wilt. In addition to this extremely valuable feature however, the variety has many other characteristics of merit. The heavy yields produced make this a very profitable variety to grow. Fruits average one half pound each, of a perfect globe shape, beautiful deep scarlet in color, and only mildly acid; vines grow vigor- ously without spreading, have abundant foliage fur- nishing adequate cover for the fruits without too much shade, and ripening its first fruits from 90 to 95 days. Marglobe is unsur- passed for table use and canning purposes, and is worthy of careful consideration of every tomato grower.

Being primarily a cool weather vegetable, turnips thrive best when planted in early spring or in the fall. For spring crop sow the seed early in April, while for fall and winter use, plantings should be made from July to Auguite Sow in rows not less than 18 inches apart and one-half to three-quarters of an inch deep. A very popular method, however, is to broadcast the seed between rows of corn or in the cultivated orchard.

This remark- 5 able feed—originated by Conkey and prepared through processes controlled and used exclusively by Conkey is a complete ration—containing all the elements needed for safely starting baby chicks, ducklings, goslings, poults, guineas, pheasants, etc. HIS superior chick mash was the first commercial poultry feed con- taining buttermilk—that is why we call it the only ORIGINAL ‘buttermilk starting feed. Conkey’s did not ‘‘just happen”’ —it is a scientifically-balanced feed as clean and wholesome and as conscientiously-prepared as ‘‘infant food.” Selected, plump grains, ground to proper fine- ness, are combined with other ingredients so as to make the feed readily digestible, palatable and nutritious. TASTE it, SMELL it, that’s the way to judge a chick feed. mkey’s carries buttermilk in just the right proportion as an aid in prevention of bowel troubles, White Diarrhea, ‘‘leg weakness,’’ etc. The buttermilk is Semi-Liquid buttermilk, blended with the other ingredients by the ORIGINAL process in such a way as to preserve the appe- tizing, tonic, and other properties of the newly- churned product. The moisture in the buttermilk is drawn off by the exclusive Conkey process in such a way as not to subject it to the terrific heat usually ‘required in ‘‘drying’’ buttermilk. Lactic acid in buttermilk.is described as an “Intestinal Broom’’ which sweeps away un- friendly bacteria and disease germs in the deli- cate digestive tract. Buttermilk is also rich in one of the vitamines necessary to growing» birds. It is a wonderful appetizer, aid to digestion, and flesh builder. However, it is not the buttermilk nor the other ingredients alone that causes people to declare that their chicks grow twice as fast on Conkey’s. ANALYSIS Crude Protein, 14%; Crude Fat 3%; Crude Fibre, 4%; Nitrogen Free Extract, 56%; Carbohydrates, 60%. Ingredients Semi-Liquid Buttermilk, corn meal, corn feed meal, oatmeal, wheat middlings, bone and blood flour. It is not the buttermilk alone that protects the chicks from disease during the first critical eight weeks. The secret isin the combination ot these materials by the Conkey method—the balancing of the ration, as Conkey alone knows how. Don’t be influenced by ‘‘cheaper’’ imitations labeled ‘‘buttermilk’’—that word may be used to deceive unwary buyers—to cover up a mul- titude of ‘“‘sinful” grains, mill sweepings, poi- sonous weed seeds, musty screenings, worthless by-products, or other poor material having little or no nutritive value. Conkey’s is so palatable that one poultryman said it ought to be used for ‘‘breakfast food.’’ One woman wrote: ‘‘My chicks just love Conkey’s. It is so tasty, and my, how they do grow! Better still, we didn’t have a single loss in the present hatch, no White Diarrhea or other bowel troubles like before we began using Conkey’s.”’ FEED IT FIRST 8 WEEKS Conkey’s is all the chicks need the first eight weeks except greens, charcoal, grit, clean water and some fine scratch grains in the litter for exercise. Give grit and water from the start. During the second week add green stuff and in the fourth week finely , cracked grains, like Conkey’s Chick Grains. Packed in convenient sizes from 21% Ibs. up.

It is balanced for rapid and even devel- opment of muscles, bones, vital organs and feathers. Like all Conkey mashes it is low in fibre, clean and always! uniform. ' Raising chicks to healthy and profitable maturity—this difficult problem is solved by the Growing Mash. Just as the Starting Feed is balanced to carry baby chicks safely through the critical first eight weeks, so is the Growing Mash a complete mash ration for developing birds to maturity. The Growing Mash differs materially from the Starting Feed—meat scraps are added, bone is increased, and corn decreased—grow- ing birds demand a heavier diet than delicate baby chicks. The UNBROKEN CHAIN system of feeding, originated by Conkey—one mash for starting lesson in demonstrating the need of three different kinds of rations for most economical poultry feeding. chicks, one for developing, one for laying—teaches an invaluable ) BUTTERMILK GROWING MASH ANALYSIS Conkey’s Buttermilk Growing Mash Crude Protein, 18%; Crude Fat, 4% ; CrudeFibre, 5%; Nitro- gen Free Extract, 50%, Carbo- hydrates, 55%.

This mash was placed on the market in response to an insistent demand for an hon- estly prepared, egg-producing ration that could always be depended upon to be clean and uniform. This demand arose through loss of egg production, which is likely to follow a change of ‘‘balance’’ in feed—too many egg mashes unfortunately are variable in quality and therefore unreliable and costly if not positively dangerous. To produce eggs in abundance, the flock must have a balanced ration consisting of a dry mash and a good scratch grain mixture, also a regular supply of green stuff. Grains alone are not a sufficient ration for -laying hens. Conkey’s Buttermilk Laying Mash is J made by Conkey’s ORIGINAL process. Fresh, Semi-Liquid buttermilk and other ingredients are blended so as to tempt the hen’s appetite, -thus increasing consumption of dry mash so essential to large egg Insist on Conkey’s mashes—you can always depend on them. | production.

These mixtures are the connecting links in the complete Conkey Chain. They hook together and re-enforce the three great links when fed with Conkey’s Buttermilk Mashes.

SUPERIOR FLOWER SEEDS SWEET PEAS CALIFORNIA GROWN SUCCESSFUL EVERYWHERE One ounce for 50 feet of row. THE GRANDIFLORA type, owing to its vigor of growth, its freedom of bloom and extremely wide range of colors is well suited for most conditions-and locations. THE SPENCERS are of exceptionally large size, the petals waved and, frilled and the general effect remarkably graceful and effective. The plants are of vigorous growth and remain in bloom for a longer time than the Grandiflora sorts. CULTURE.— Early in the spring make a trench three to four inches deep in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no water can stand in it and plant the seed in the bottom, covering at first only one inch deep. When the plants are two inches high, cultivate; and as they grow, gradually fill in the trench. When the plants are about five inches high they should be supported by poultry netting, strings or brush. Water should be applied thoroughly once or twice a week early in the morning or in the evening. The blooms should be picked before they form pods or the plants will soon stop flowering. The follow- ing have been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being those of the highest quality in their respective classes, GRANDIFLORA VARIETIES AMERICA. Bright red and white striped.

The tubers should be planted in a horizon- tal position, with the sprout up and about four inches below the surface; they should be set three or four feet apart each way in deeply spaded soil. A good plant food applied just as the buds start to form will increase the size and improve the color of the blooms. If large exhibition blossoms are desired, it is absolutely necessary to disbud. After the frost has killed the flowers, the roots should be removed from the _ ground, allowed to dry for two or three days, and then stored away in a cool, dry, dark place where frost will not reach them.

MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS SUDAN GRASS SUDAN GRASS Sudan, the greatest forage crop. should be grown on every farm, where either hay.or pasture is desired. It is highly resistant to drought and stands very heavy grazing. Yields from 2.to 10 tons per acre, is superior to either Millet or Sorghum in feeding quality, and may be fed in unlimited quantities. Sow 10 to 20 Ibs. per acre, 1 to 1% inches deep, the highest quality hay resulting from heavy seeding. Should be harvested just before the heads appear, in the same manner as other grasses. -Cures quickly and matures as early as Mullet, the first cutting being teady in about 6 to 8 weeks. Successive cuttings may be made every 30 to 45 days until frost. Highly recommended by the Government as being very nutritious and easily digestible. Being an annual, this must ‘be seeded every year and therefore never becomes a pest. $12.00 per 100 Ibs. Subject to change. KAFFIR CORN The heads are greedily eaten by horses and cattle and make splendid food for poultry, fed either in the grain or ground and cooked. Excellent forage. Cultivate same as common corn, re- quiring four or five pounds per acre. DWARF ESSEX RAPE This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for sheep. and for green manure. Prepare the ground as for turnips and ‘sow in June or July in rows two and a half feet apart at the rate of two and a half pounds of seed per acre. SORGHUM or CANE EARLY AMBER SORGHUM. Furnishes a large yield of most nutritious forage, which can be fed either green or cured, and will yield two or three cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. It grows ten or twelve feet high. Sow at the rate of one peck per acre in drills three and a half to four feet apart. EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in growth to Early Amber, but under fair conditions produces a heavier crop. It is better for stock feeding than the Amber. JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching qualities it need not be sown so thickly. Peck, 60c. SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the ordinary Buckwheat which it has almost entirely superseded. OATS WHITE SPRING OATS. Our best recleaned stock of these are Choice Northern grown, all heavy oats, which have been re- cleaned by us. RUST-PROOF OATS. A favorite spring variety in the South, particularly where the land is rich; produces enormous yield, and excellent for cutting for hay. CANADA FIELD PEAS Sown in open weather during December, January, February and March, making large yields ot most nutritious food, which can be used either green or cured for hay. It also makes a good green manuring crop to turn under, but not equal to Cow Peas. A light seeding of oats, rye or barley will increase the yield and help to support the vines when the crop comes to maturity.” Ready for cutting in May andfJune, cures easily and makes splendid hay. COW PEAS There is no surer or cheaper means of improving and increasing the productiveness of our soils than by sowing the Cow Pea. It has the power to extract costly nitrogen from the atmosphere and to store the same in the vines and roots, so that the land is enriched and its condition improved. From five to nine tons of green fodder per acre have been produced. For ensliage they are unsurpassed. When it is desired to turn the whole crop under, as a soil improver, it is better to do so after the vines are partly dead. Cow Peas can be sown in May or June, at the rate of one and a half bushels per acre. BLACK. Quick to mature. adapted for late planting in Northern sections; vigorous grower and great yielder. : BLACK EYE. A prolific vine-growing variety of merit, seed often sold for table use. WHIPPOORWILL. A favorite early bunch-growing variety. A prime favorite in the North and West on account of its early maturity and habit of growth. SOY or SOJA BEANS A Great Drought-Resisting Forage Crop. Producing Im- mense Quantities of Nutritious Food, Beside Being an Excellent Soil Improver. The Soy Bean is coming right to the front as a great soil enricher. as a food for hogs or cattle, both in the green and dry state. To plow under in the green state it 1s certainly one of the very best plants, next to Cow Peas. SAND or WINTER VETCH Sometimes called Hairy Vetch. The most valuable of all Vet- ches. It succeeds on nearly all soils and 1s especially recommended for poor lands, where it thrives and improve: the soil wonderfully, as it is very rich in nitrogen. It belongs to the pea family, but the vines are more leafy and longer. It may be sown in the spring or in the fall, preferably with rye. It remains green all winter and is valuable for early pasturing, as well as a fertilizer. 60 pounds per acre. : J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts.; Baltimore, Md.

Should be applied September 1st to October 10th, according to latitude. Some growers prefer to make two applica- tions, the first being in the month of Juhe. One pound is sufficient for 10 to 30 trees, according to size. It is not advisable to treat trees under 4 years of age with Para- Dichlorobenzene, and apple trees should never be treated. Remove all grass, weeds and rubbish from around the tree, make a smooth, bare sur- face and about sixteen inches wide around the tree at the soil level. Remove any gummy exudation ahering to the crown or collar of the tree. After the ground is prepared, distribute the crystals of Para-Dichlorobenzene even- ly in a narrow circular band around the tree, keeping the inner edge of the band at least two inches away from the bark of the tree. After the crystals are placed on the. soil around the tree cover them with earth, at first lightly so as not to disturb the chemi- cal, and complete by sionuding the earth against the trunk of the tree until a cone shaned mass of dirt four or five inches deep has been made, tamping the dirt down with the back of the shovel. Use one ounce to a tree 6 years old or older; in case of very large tree, 144 ounces may be needed to form a satisfactory band. On trees four or five years old, use 14 to 34 ounces to a tree. 1 lb. package, pr Ib., 50c; 5 Ib. pack- age, per lb., 40c; 10 lb. package, per Ib., 35c; 25 lb. package, per Ib., 30c; 100 Ib. package, per Ib., 28c.

EMERSON-BRANTINGHAM DISK HARROWS. For Horse and Tractor Power. If you are farming to make money, you cannot ignore the ad- vantages and the economy of labor-saving machinery, and the farmer who labors along without the good implements that modern conditions demand, pays a higher price in the end. The E-B Tandem Disk Harrow enables you to do more work in shorter time and with less man labor. With one of these double action machines one man can do the work of two men with single disks in the same length of time and the work will be done better. Besides it may be equipped with either a horse or tractor hitch, which is an advantage when both kinds of power are available. If desired, the rear section may be detached and the front section used alone as a horse or tractor-drawn single disk harrow. Many of our customers operating. Fordson Tractors now have these harrows in use and are highly pleased with them. Quality and usefulness are built in. Let us send you illustrated literature and prices TOOLS AND IMPLEMENTS J.

Poultry Fence is strictly & a “NO SAG” fence, as the combination of : line and mesh Bs wires, closely woven, prevents Rs arnwes any lengthening E aN é : BS te ncn or narrowing heen % — between _ posts. Ramey S. Poultry Fence sss the line wires permit of being stretched to a high tension, which compels the fence to remain rigid and upright without anchoring it to a baseboard or top rail. These features place it a long stride beyond the Hex mesh netting, which never fails to narrow and lengthen if you attempt to stretch it to a tension required to prevent sagging. here is no netting on the market that compares with U. S. Poultry Fence for strength, beauty and durability, and we invite comparison with other makes, feeling confident that all our claims of superiority will be substantiated.
