The Yellow Kherson Oats, which originally came from Russia, is one of the best extra early dwarf sorts grown. Prof. L. C. Burnett, agronomist at the Iowa Agricultural College, has bred a white variety from this which they designated the "Iowa 103" till it was introduced to the public later on as the White Kherson. It has all the good qualities of the old Kherson, with the additional value of being white in color. Grain is plump and heavy, with thin hull. It matures very early and does not suffer from blight or rust so far. The straw is strong, medium height and stands up extra well on heavy soil. Stools well and only requires 2Y2 bushels per acre for seeding. The past three years it has surpassed all other varieties, as one of the best and has outyielded all the best local varieties where tested by from 10 to 20 bushels per acre. At Oakville, Iowa, a test was conducted by E. F. Jame- son, who got his first small lot of seed in 1913, which he sowed on one acre of ground and this yielded 77 bushels of choice seed. He planted the entire lot the following spring and this field produced at the rate of 82 bushels per acre by weight. This was 20 bushels better than the next best field of oats in this entire section. The farmers can thank the plant breeders at the Experi- ment Station for the Iowa 103 Oats. Price per lb. 20 cts., 3 lbs., 50 cts., postpaid; by freight or express, pk. 35 cts., bu. $, 3 bu. $, 12 bu. $ Soja or Soy Bean This valuable legume is attracting more at- tention every year. Soja Beans is an ideal crop for turning under green to improve worn out soils and it fertilizes the soil where grown like clover will. It is also valuable for hay or pasture for all kinds of stock. Will mature in all parts of the corn belt, sometimes growing 4 ft. high, heavily podded with see
