Big Increase in Demand 
Barley, the heaviest producer of small grain crops, 
has again stepped to the front. It is back on the Board 
of Trade and at prices sharply advanced. There is 
especially a demand for malting barley. Our V elvet is 
one of the finest malting kinds and is in big demand. 
Barley is as fine a grain as you can feed. It is rich 
in bone and muscle building elements. It develops 
large, strong, healthy animals in quick time and at re¬ 
duced costs. Records of forty years have proven it 
the heaviest yielder of all grain crops, corn alone ex¬ 
cepted. Barley is one of the best nurse crops for grass 
and clover. Stands up on rich ground. It is ready 
for harvest the latter part of June or early in July.

A remarkable grain. Kernels re¬ 
semble wheat in size and shape but 
lighter in color. Weighs out around 
60 lbs. to bushel. It is sold however 
on basis of other varieties, 48 lbs. 
Straw is more leafy than other varie¬ 
ties. It is frequently cut for hay. 
Stands up well. It is particularly 
drought resistant. Heavy producer, 
yielding up to 40 to 70 bushels per acre. 
It is entirely free from beards. 
We consider it fully equal to corn in 
feeding value. Exceptionally good for 
hogs and poultry. A fine plan is to 
feed both barley and corn. That gives 
a combination of nutrients superior to 
either crop fed alone. 
The crop is easy to grow. Sow 
around 2 to 2bushels per acre. Han¬ 
dle like any small grain crop. The

BEARDS 
Our Velvet Barley is a revelation. It looks like ordinary bar¬ 
ley but is distinctly different. The beards are there but those 
bothersome sticky barbs are gone. The beards are as smooth 
as silk. It’s just as pleasant to handle as a beardless variety and 
you get the protection of the beards. . 
This Barley is of the best malting type. Decidedly superior to the 
average because its resistance to disease assures a better quality gram. 
For feeding or malting it is extra fine. . . x . .. . . . 
In yield it ranks at the top. Most farmers reporting on it say it is the heaviest 
yielder they have ever grown. The straw is even stiffer than the average, it 
is very resistant against spot blotch disease. Barley ranks next to corn in the 
number of pounds of grain produced per acre. . 
Our Velvet is adapted to a wide area. With the introduction of this variety 
many farmers are changing from oats to barley. It is proving a better nurse 
crop, a heavier yielder and an earlier maturing crop. 
You will receive a very high grade shipment of seed when you order our 
Velvet and you will be starting a more profitable variety of gram.

Berry’s Wilt Resistant Flax 
The Best Paying Small Grain Crop. 
The United States grows only half its. flax seed require¬ 
ments. Farmers really get tariff protection on it. It has 
held up in price better than other crops. The wise farmer 
will put part of his acres in flax this year. 
Flax is not exclusively a new land crop. The reason flax 
has not done so well on old land was because of a disease 
known as Wilt. Now we have a Wilt Resistant Flax and 
the crop can be grown with greater profit than other grain 
crops on old or new land. 
How to Handle 
Sow as early as possible or about when you sow other 
spring grains. Flax prefers clean land. On foul land de¬ 
lay seeding and harrow to kill weeds. Requires a firm seed 
bed. Sow 25 to 35 lbs. per acre. 
Flax makes the finest nurse crop obtainable for grass and 
clover seedings. Yields from 10 to 15 bushels per acre 
may be reasonably expected. Thresh with ordinary grain 
separator. 
Do not sow ordinary Flax. Your chances are too great. 
Our Wilt Resistant Flax assures you of the highest degree 
cf protection. It is a heavier yielder and more profitable 
than any small grain crop.
