Macaroni or Durum Wheat. This variety grows very 
strong and is usually a heavy yielder. It is grown where 
other varieties do not mature or thrive. The straw makes

glue wheat, and is bearded. Prices will be given on our Spe¬

Turkey Red Winter Wheat. A standard red bearded 
wheat with a strong straw. It is early ripening. Kernels are 
large, red, and hard. It is in good demand by millers. Prices 
will be supplied upon request. 
Seed Oats 
Brunker Oats are well adapted to dry land, being early ma¬ 
turing and drought resisting. They are a red oat and were 
developed by tbe Akron Experiment Station. Prices on 
registered and non-registered seed will be given on our 
Special Field Seed Price List. 
Colorado No. 37 Oats. This oat has been found superior 
to all other varieties of oats for irrigated areas of Colorado.

gated lands of northern Colorado. Prices on registered and

Kanota Oats. A red oat which, due to its growth habits and 
early maturity, is recommended as a nurse crop in the Arkan¬ 
sas Valley. Prices on registered seed will be given in our

Seed Barley 
Brewing Barley. We offer stocks of Wisconsin No. 38, 
Hanschen (2-row) and Hanna (2-row) accepted as good 
brewing varieties. Prices on Special Field Seed List. 
Trebi Barley is the leading Barley for irrigated conditions. 
In yield tests covering a ? year period it out-yielded its near¬ 
est competitor, Coast, 22 per cent. This is a six-row bearded 
hull variety. Prices on registered and non-registered seed 
will be found on our Special Quantity Field Seed Price List. 
Colsess Barley. A beardless hulled variety, well adapted to 
irrigated sections above “>,000 feet elevation. Colsess is par¬ 
ticularly valuable as a nurse crop for Alfalfa and grasses. 
On account of the absence of beards it is well adapted for 
hay crop purposes. Prices on registered and non-registered 
seed will be given on our Special Field Seed Price List. 
Club Mariout Barley. This variety is a selection from the 
old Mariout Barley which for many centuries has been 
grown in the Sahara Desert. Club Mariout is an early matur¬ 
ing, quick growing, hulled, and bearded variety. It has 
proven its worth many times during the past 3 years of 
drought, whereas a test on the dry land Field Station at 
Akron indicates that Club Mariout will outyield Trebi over 
30 per cent. Its position in dry land farming is similar to the 
place held by Trebi for irrigated lands. Prices on registered 
and non-registered seed will be given on our Special Field 
Seed Price List. 
Bald or Hulless Barley has no beards and shells off its 
hulls the same as wheat. It is early and grows rapidly. It can 
be used as cured hay; also makes an excellent grain. Well 
adapted for planting in mountain regions. This variety is 
not registered. Prices will be given on our Special Field Seed 
Price List. 
Treatment for Smut in Barley. For Stripe and Covered 
Smut, add 1 pint formaldehyde to 30 gallons of water (not 
heated). Soak seed for 3 hours. For Covered Smut on 
Hulless Barley, dust with copper carbonate, 2 to 4 ounces 
to a bushel of grain. 
Seed Rye 
Spring Rye is an excellent soiler and can be produced on 
poor, worn out land under dry conditions where other grains 
would fail. It is useful as a cleaning crop for the purpose of 
eradicating wild oats. Makes early pasture and may be cut 
and cured for hay. When sown with vetch its value for pas¬ 
ture and hay is greatly enhanced. 
Winter or Fall Rye serves a very useful purpose for pas¬ 
ture and hay. May be sown in the spring and summer as 
well as in the fall. When Winter Rye is sown after frost it 
goes into the following season before maturing, thus making 
it a biennial. 
Treatment for Bunt or Stinking Smut in Wheat. 
Dust seed grain with copper carbonate 2 to 4 ounces to the 
bushel, or Coppercarb 4 to 6 ounces to the bushel. Mix 
in a barrel mixer so that all grains are covered with the dust. 
Treatment can be made at any time and grain can be stored. 
Treatment for Loose Smut and Covered Smut in 
Oats. Add 1 pint of formaldehyde to 40 gallons of water. 
Sprinkle on 40 bushels of grain. Cover with sacks or canvas 
for 2 to 4 hours. Prices on Coppercarb, copper carbonate, 
formaldehyde will be found on page 71. 
Speltz or Spring Emmer resembles barley and wheat. Is 
of rapid growth and ripens early. Withstands more drought 
and unfavorable soil and weather conditions than most 
grains. It is a very efficient and desirable feed. 
Registered Seed. Make sure that the variety of registered 
seed desired is adapted to the conditions where it is to be 
grown. We suggest that you read carefully the description 
of the variety before placing your order.
