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 new variety was originated at the University of 
Minnesota and there has outyielded all other kinds. The 
Ohio State University and Experiment Station have also had 
good results. It is a heavy yielder and although we had 
general low yields of both Barley and Oats of all varieties 
last season it has always outyielded the other common kinds. 
This Barley has long heads and long awns which are 
smooth as velvet. Handles like Oats. Matures same season 
as other kinds. Price, per bu., $2.00; 10 bu. lots or over, 
$1.90 per bu. 
— BEARDED SPRING BARLEY — 
There are certain soils on which this bearded variety 
seems to outyield all other Barleys and we have a fine 
lot of this seed to offer. Sow as soon as the soil will 
work well at rate of 2 bu. per acre. Price, per bu., $1.90, 
10 bu. lots or over $1.80 per bu. 
-FALL BARLEY- 
This variety has come quickly into prominence principally 
because of the high yields it has been making the last few 
years. Yields of 60 to 80 bushels are not uncommon. 
Chinch bugs have not bothered this kind as it ripens too 
early for them. It should be sown latter part of September, 
and will ripen last of June. Write us this summer for prices. 
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 
CANADIAN FIELD PEAS 
When sown with Oats at rate of one bushel peas and one 
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 
clovers. Sow same time as oats. Price, per bu., $3.00. 
BLUE CLARAGE CORN 
(described on page 44), and lllini Soy Beans (described on 
page 42) 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, 5 to 6 pounds may be sown per 
acre. Price, per lb., 10c; 10 lbs. or over, 
per lb., 9c. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Eradicate Canadian Thistle, Quack Grass, etc., with 
Sodium Chlorate-Limestone Mixture 
There is now commercially available a mixture of sodium chlorate (75 per cent) and ground lime¬ 
stone (25 per cent) for use in the control of small patches of noxious weeds. This mixture was originally 
suggested and tried experimentally by the Agronomy Department, Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, 
at Columbus, in 1932. Described on page 48.
