Sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre. 
Six-Rowed. This barley succeeds best on lands 
more sandy and lighter than those adapted to wheat. 
It is sown in the spring, and can be grown farther 
North than any other grain. Sow from two to two 
and a half bushels per acre. 
Champion Beardless. A new beardless barley, earli- 
est barley known, about ten days earlier than other 
kinds. A good yielder, six-rowed and strictly beard- 
less. It can be handled as easy as oats. This barley 
is not strictly pure and has a few bearded heads in it. 
White Hulless. This is used mainly for food, and 
it produces one of the best hog fatteners that we 
know of. It is equal to the best Kansas, Iowa, Ne- 
braska, or Illinois corn, as a fattener, and it is surer 
than most any other crop. The yield the past season 
was fifty bushels to the acre. Hulless barley did 
splendidly. We are urging farmers and stock raisers 
to give this splendid sort a trial. 
SILVER HULLED BUCKWHEAT. An improved 
sort, much excelling the old common variety which 
it has about superseded with us. It blooms longer, 
matures sooner, and yields double the amount per 
acre. Husks thinner, corners less prominent and 
seeds of a beautiful light gray color. Flour made 
of this variety is pronounced better and more nutri- 
tious than others. Thirty to fifty pounds to an acre. 
Lb., 10c. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. A new variety that 
has been raised here with good success. Early and 
very productive, with kernels twice the size of any 
other buckwheat, of a dark rich brown color and 
makes a superior flour. As it possesses a branching 
habit only half as much seed is required to plant 
an acre. Straw is very stiff and stands well up. 
Lb., 10c. 
FLAX SEED. Largely grown in this State for 
seed. Sow one-half to three-quarters bushel to the 
acre. Can furnish choice, re-cleaned seed any time 
at market price. 
CANARY SEED. As easily grown as wheat. Re- 
quires similar culture. 20 to 30 pounds to an acre. 
We are in the market for seed. Lb., 10c. 
Oats 
Beardless Barley. 
Sow 50 to 65 pounds per acre. 
No crop gives better results by change of seeds than oats. If you have been re-seeding the same strain 
for several years, now Js the time to change. Do not compare our select re-cleaned strains with the com- 
mon oats frequently offered as seed oats. 
NEW KHERSON. The plant is a vigorous but not 
a rapid grower. The straw is short and on the same 
land it stands shorter than any other oats tested. 
It is not a side oat. The berries are a light yellow 
in color, small but numerous, and have a, very thin 
hull. They usually weigh well per bushel, and in this 
respect, as well as in yield per acre, they have led 
all other varieties. 
RED RUST-PROOF. Largely grown in this State; 
it is a heavy yielder and sure cropper and entirely 
rust-proof, makes a very heavy grain. The stock in 
this variety is Kansas grown from stock obtained 
from Texas, which will, we are sure, prove satis- 
factory. 
KANOTA. (Kansas Fulghum.) See page 3. 
Speltz or Emmer. 
A grain for dry lands introduced from Russia. This 
is a remarkable grain, and should receive the atten- 
tion of all farmers. It is a species of drought- 
resisting Barley, and not inclined to rust. It will 
produce a fair crop under almost any condition of 
climate, but grows best in dry prairie regions with 
hot summers, giving excellent results. Thrives on 
poor land in stony: ground. The experiment stations 
of both Dakotas report that it resists drought more 
than oats or barley. All animals eat it greedily and 
are fond of the straw. It will undoubtedly become a 
regular valuable crop for stock feed. Sow 70 to. 80 
pounds per acre very early, same as barley, or -'.gats.
