A Grain of Unusual Qualities 
Speltz, also called Emmer, is quite difEerent from the ordinary- 
grain crop. It resembles Barley but is really a species of -wheat. 
The grain is broader than Barley, and the kernels are not so tight¬ 
ly enclosed in the hull. The grain is softer. The shuck and grain 
both have good feeding value. It makes a rich feed that is pala¬ 
table and relished by all kinds of live stock. 
Characteristics 
It is a Russian grain. It is very resistant against cold, being grown in the 
northern states, Alaska, and in semi-arid regions. You will find it a remarkable 
drought resister. Neither is it easily affected by rust or blight. The straw is 
pithy and strong. Maturity is very early. A fine nurse crop. Produces a grain 
crop under dry conditions that would cause a failure of other small grains. It 
seems to adapt itself to wide variations in climatic conditions. You will find it 
growing over a wide territory. 
Fine Stock Feed 
You can use it for poultry feed. Cows show a marked liking for it and it is 
often fed with bran and shorts to milk cows. Hogs thrive on it. It is a fattening 
grain and will put weight on hogs and cattle in a hurry. Speltz helps to cut down 
feed bills. It is good for pasture, fattens in the green state, and is a heavy 
stooler. We are sure you will like Speltz, and that it will prove a very profitable 
crop for you. 
Easy to Grow 
Prepare ground same as you would for any small grain crop. Sow 2 to 214 
bushels per acre. Drill or broadcast. Harvest when in hard dough stage. Thre^ 
with ordinary grain thresher like wheat, but use fewer concaves. - 
Consider its resistance against disease and drought and cold; its early maturity; 
its heavy yields; its high feeding value and palatability. You will find it 
worthy of a trial and once tried 
we are sure you will al¬ 
ways want some

Gentlemen: I never received your March price 
list, but am enclosing another order for seed. I 
always get my seed from you and am always sat¬ 
isfied and have good luck with them. My Alfalfa 
field that I planted with your seed was surely a 
picture last fall. Toms truly,
