WISCONSIN BARBLESS (Pedigree No. 38) BARLEY 
The Best Barley for 
Malting Purposes 
The new heavy yield¬ 
ing, smooth awn harley! 
"Wisconsin Barbless or 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 
Barley was originated by the 
AVisconsin Experiment Station 
after years of breeding and 
selecting, and should be univers- 
ally sown by farmers in or out ot 
the state. It Is a remarkably heavy 
yielder, with heavier, larger and 
plumper kernels and longer heads. Has 
■yielded over 70 bushels per acre, of as 
fine a Quality as you would want to see. 
The greatest feature of all however, is the 
freedom from the troublesome awns. The 
smooth beards of Wisconsin Barbless Barley 
make it easier to handle and makes both the 
straw and the grain more valuable for feeding. It 
is six rowed, has very stiff straw and is resistant to 
disease. We do not know of any introductions of the 
"Wisconsin Experiment Association that have not proven 
to be a great advance, and farmers everywhere may plant 
this wonderful variety with full confidence that it is the 
finest barley that can be grown today. It is similar to Wis¬ 
consin Pedigree except that the barbs have been removed, 
the kernels are larger and plumper and the heads longer. Sow 
1% to 2 bu. per acre. 
Wisconsin Barbless Pedigree No. 38 is a bearded' barley, but the 
beards do not have the sharp awns or prickers, hence the name' 
Barbless.

Barley, Pedigree No. 38 
VELVET BARLEY 
Also known as Minnesota No. 447. It is the result of a 
cross between Duth, a rough awned, six rowed barley of 
the Manchuria type, and a smooth awned variety. It is 
smooth awned, a heavy yielder, it has very stiff straw, 
and is much more disease resistant than other varieties. 
It is similar to the old reliable pedigreed strains, six 
rowed, and bearded, except that the barbs have been re¬ 
moved from the beards by a breeding process.

The Great Drouth Resister! 
Originated by Prof. Moore, agronomist of the Wisconsin Experi¬ 
ment Station. Wherever tried in Wisconsin the Pedigree Barley has 
yielded from 5 to 20 bu. more than common varieties. 
Pedigree Barley grows taller than any other 6-rowed sort and 
has very stiff straw, which stands up better. The heads are un¬ 
usually large and long and are completely filled out with very 
plump grain, which is very uniform in size, brighter and whiter 
than that of most other sorts and very attractive. It is a barley 
the farmers can depend upon to produce a big crop.

bearded barley varieties ever grown. Is very early and of vigorous 
growth; straw is strong and stiff, and very seldom does it lodge; 
heads are long and well filled. Silver King is the best barley to sow 
on heavy, rich soil, but it also thrives on warm, light soil.

A non-saccharine sorghum, growing like cane instead 
of like corn, of the greatest value for planting where 
drouth often destroys the corn crop! Yields much 
grain and makes excellent fodder. 
Salzer’s Earliest Kafir Corn grows 4 to 5 feet high, mak¬ 
ing a straight, upright growth. It has a strong stem with 
wide leaves. The stalks contain considerable sweet sap 
and remain green until the hends are fully matured, for 
this reason Kafir Corn is preferred as a forage crop. 
Drouths cannot touch this Kafir Corn, at least that is our 
experience. It snaps its finger at dryness. It mocks the 
hot, withering sun. It grows and grows and it matters not 
whether it rains or whether the sun is hot. Salzer’s 
Earliest Kafir Corn is there to grow. 
It does well as far north as Dakota. 
Another good thing about It is this, 
that it will produce tons and tons of 
seed, which is equally as rich and 
nutritious and fattening as eorn. 
Matures in about 110 days. For grain 
sow in rows 3% feet apart, using 10 
lbs. per acre. For hay or pasture sow 
60 lbs. per acre in drills or 75 lbs. 
broadcast.
