Wood’s Pedigree Beardless Barley, the best feed crop for livestock in the South. 
Wood’s Treated Pedigree Beardless Barley 
GROWN FROM CERTIFIED SEED 
Our head selected strain yields 45 to 65 bushels per acre, 
two to three times . s much as wheat on the same land. It 
can be harvested two weeks before wheat and oats and a 
week earlier than Abruzzi Rye, and does not interfere with 
summer crops. The most nutritious and palatable grain 
for feed, having the highest protein content. Taller than 
Bearded Barley and heads out a week earlier. The ideal 
winter hay crop and should be included in every winter pas¬ 
ture mixture. Some strains of beardless barley are not 
winter resistant, but we have never known our strain to be 
damaged by the coldest winter weather. It is more winter 
hardy than oats and furnishes more hay of better feeding 
value. Vigorous fall and winter growth. Excellent stooler. 
No dairyman or cattle feeder can afford not to grow Wood’s 
Beardless Barley for its tremendous yield of nutritious grain 
and straw, which is as valuable as hay for roughage. 
We do not offer Beardless Barley not grown by us from 
our head selected strain and field inspected, as we never 
bought any from others that did not produce crop containing 
one-fourth to one-half bearded heads. Barley not treated 
loses 15% to 25% from smut. Sow 2 bushels per acre for 
$rain, 3 4 bushels for hay, preferably in September. 
Wood’s Treated Pedigree Bearded Barley 
Our new head selected strain offered for the first time 
this year, makes three times the yield of wheat, outyields 
all winter grains and is more winter hardy than oats. Yielded 
20% more than any other bearded or beardless barley in 
the S. C. test. Sow 2 bushels per acre in September. 
G. F. Moose, Rockbridge Co., Va., August 8, 1937: “For ten 
years Wood’s Bearded Barley has yielded 60 to 70 bushels per 
acre with not a single crop failure and furnished enough straw 
to fatten 100 beef cattle, an average of 200 pounds per head 
with a little extra concentrates. The straw is better than high 
quality Timothy hay for feeding horses, mules and cattle and 
twice as valuable as wheat straw. It yields a fourth more grain 
than corn with much less work and no cultivation. It is equal 
to corn in feeding value and finishes cattle smoother. 3 cars of 
cattle finished on barley brought the top price of 32 cars sold 
on the St. Louis market. It has never winter killed. Smut 
destroyed 20% of my crop each year until you started treating 
the seed, but now I can’t find a single smutted head. Ship me 
30 bushels of your new head Selected Strain this fall.” 
B. G. Locher, Rockbridge Co., Va.: “Wood’s Bearded Winter 
Barley yields 60 bushels per acre while Bearded Barley from 
North Carolina and Tennessee yielded only 20 bushels per acre." 
Wood’s Pedigree Abruzzi Rye 
GROWN FROM CERTIFIED SEED. OVER 90% 
GERMINATION 
Our improved strain yields a third more grain than ordi¬ 
nary Abruzzi, makes more winter growth, and is earlier ma¬ 
turing. The blade is broader. It is taller, more vigorous 
and furnishes more pasturage. In a South Carolina State 
Experiment Station test, it yielded 33 bushels per acre. 
Ordinary Abruzzi yielded 26 bushels and Rosen Rye 9 bush¬ 
els per acre. Sow iy 2 bushels per acre for grain; 2 bushels 
for pasture. The Department of Agriculture reports most 
Abruzzi Rye is germinating so low it is unfit for planting. 
Beware of such seed. 
“Wood’s Certified Abruzzi Rye 
yielded 30 bushels per acre, about 
double the yield for ordinary Abruzzi 
Rye.”—S. C. Peatross, Jr., Caroline 
Co., Va. 
“There is no better Abruzzi Rye 
from every standpoint than Wood’s. 
Its stooling qualities cannot be ex¬ 
celled. Hardy and vigorous. I grazed 
it all winter until April. After re¬ 
moving stock it grew 5 to 6 feet 
tall, producing more grain than any 
other variety I ever used.”—J. C. 
Taylor, Hertsford, N. C. 
Wood’s Special Grass and 
Clover Mixtures Lowest 
Price in Years 
With the advancing market of 
all winter Legume Seed, Abruzzi 
Rye, and especially high prices 
of Alfalfa and Clover Seed, you 
will find it doubly profitable to 
plant Wood’s Special Grass and 
Clover Seed Mixtures, not only 
because the seeding cost per acre 
is lower, but because you are 
more sure of getting a good, uni¬ 
form stand and crop. Few fields 
are uniform in fertility and drain¬ 
age and our mixtures contain 
grasses and clovers that thrive 
under practically all conditions.
