OLDS’ SEED BARLEY 
(Sow 96 to 110 pounds to the acre.) 
PEDIGREE BARLEY IS ANOTHER LEADER OF OURS. 
WISCONSIN BARLEYS LEAD THE WORLD. We are headquarters for pure reliable seed of the new Wiscon¬ 
sin Pedigree No. 38 Barbless and also the old Wisconsin Pedigree. We offer at very low prices “Registered,” “Certi¬ 
fied” and “Standard” seed. See page 77 for explanation of Registered and Certified. , .„ O0/ 
Price Outlook. The crop, according to the last Government report was only 77.9% of last year s crop and 4_,.~% 
of the five-year average, therefore, seed stock is likely to be short. We advise buying your seed early. 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE NO. 38 BARBLESS 
NEWEST AND BEST IN BARLEY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. 
We offered this variety for the first time three years ago, calling it the last word in barley. it 
seems to have fully justified all that has been claimed for it and it is now the leader of all barleys. In 
comparative tests made at the State Experiment Station at Madison this barley made a yield of 55.5 
_ bushels to the acre, a yield which is more than 20 bushels over t he Oderbrucker, approximately 17 bush- 
els above the Velvet variety, and 14 bushels more than the Glabron variety. 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 originated at the Wisconsin Experiment 
Station in 1916 when a black, smooth awn barley from southern Russia 
was crossed with Oderbrucker. The object was to combine the yield, stiff¬ 
ness of straw, light color and high quality of the Oderbrucker with the 
smooth awn of this Russian barley. The result has been marvelous, for 
not only has a smooth awn been secured but the yield of the Oderbrucker 
has been greatly increased while all of the other good qualities have been 
retained 
THE VALUABLE FEATURES OF WISCONSIN BARBLESS ARE: 
First—Smooth Beards. This makes the barley nice to handle. Some 
farmers say they would just as soon handle this barley as to handle oats. 
Second—Resistance to Hot Weather. This barley is from three to five 
days later than Oderbrucker and other rough bearded barley. This is not 
an objection but an advantage as it simply adds to the maturity period 
producing a larger kernel than the earlier varieties. 
Third—Heavy Yielding Qualities. It has gone way beyond all others in 
yield. In the southern counties the yields have been shooting up as high as 
80 bushels per acre, machine measure. 55 and 60 seem quite common, which 
is easily a gain of one-fourth to one-third over the rough barley. 
In addition to its other good qualities it has shown itself much more 
resistant to stripe disease than any other barley.

WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY BEARDED) 
Wisconsin Pedigree Barley has for years held its place as the 
leading variety of six-rowed barley. It has doubled the yield of 
common barley and has been worth millions of dollars to the 
farmers of Wisconsin alone. 
_ It was originated at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture and 
was the result of 12 years of painstaking breeding work. It still stands 
out above all previous varieties of barley for heavy yield, plump grain, stiff 
straw, large heads and great feeding value. Some of our growers think it 
yields better than the new Wisconsin No. 38.

Obtain the Highest Barley Prices by Raising Quality Grain with 
NEW IMPROVED Ceresan. 
Prevent covered smut, stripe disease and scab seedling blight, the de¬ 
structive seed-carried barley diseases, from decreasing the yields and reduc¬ 
ing the value of your crop! Treat all seed barley with New Improved 
Ceresan, (ethyl mercury phosphate) the inexpensive, effective grain dis¬ 
infectant. Only % ounce (there is a measuring spoon in each can) is 
required per bushel of seed. Costs 1% to 2%c a bushel of seed. Easily 
and quickly applied by 20 to 25 revolutions of seed treater or 3 turnings 
with a shovel. Seed should be treated 24 hours before planting. Does not 
reduce drilling rate nor damage drill. See page 78.
