VELVET BARLEY 
LONG AWNS BUT SMOOTH AS VELVET—YIELDS AS HEAVY OR HEAVIER THAN BEARDED 
VARIETIES—DISEASE RESISTANT. SIX ROWS—STIFF STRAW THAT WILL NOT LODGE EASILY. 
This wonderful new variety was originated at the University of Minnesota and there has out-yielded all 
other kinds. The Ohio State University and Experiment Stations have had very good results for the last 
three years. Although, grown only In an experimental way until season (1927) when we had large acreages 
of It there has not been a failure nor a light crop. The yield has always been 5 to 10 bushels over any 
kind of Barley and the quality has been much better In every way. It is more disease resistant. 
This Barley has good long heads with long awns which are smooth as velvet. Handles like Oats. Matures 
same season as other kinds. 
Price, bu„ .$1.10; 10 bu. lots, $1.05 bu.; 25 bu. lots or over, $1.00. 
REMEMBER BARLEY ALMOST EQUALS CORN IN FEEDING VALUE AND MATURES IN JULY. 
FOR QUICK FEED SOW BARLEY. IT WILL TIDE YOU OVER UNTIL THE NEW CORN CROP 
RIPENS AND PAY YOU BIG DIVIDENDS. 
Plant for Early Hog Pasture 
A XI A A XI ITTITT 1XIT A C When sown with Oats at rate of one bushel peas and one 
ru/la bushel Oats (preferably Fulghum) make a wonderful 
large amount of quick pasture or hay as you may desire to use them. Peas are a legume almost equal to 
alovers. Sow same time as oats. Price, per bu., $5.00. 
BLUE CLARAGE CORN 
(described on page 36), and Early Yellow Soy Beans (de¬ 
scribed on page 39) make the best possible combination 
to turn, hogs on. You can generally turn in at least ten days earlier than with any other variety. The 
blue corn has a sweet taste and the beans will furnish the necessary protein. Try this combination. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Dwarf Essex Rape is a pasture plant for 
all kinds of livestock—sheep, cattle, and 
swine; and is most valuable for fattening 
sheep. As It grows very rapidly, the pas¬ 
ture will be ready in five weeks from the 
time of sowing. Unlike other forage plants, 
rape can be sown at any time during spring 
and summer, so a good pasture may be had 
whenever It is needed. Dwarf Essex Rape 
will prepare sheep and hogs for market 
better in less time than any other forage 
plant. 
It may be sown In corn when this Is cul¬ 
tivated the last time. Good results are gen¬ 
erally obtained for late fall pasture when 
Dwarf Essex Rape is sown after the spring 
grain has been harvested. When sown 
broadcast, 6 to 6 pounds may be sown per 
acre. Price, per lb., 10c; lo lbs. or over, 
per lb., 9c.
