GURNEY’S PEDIGREED SEED GRAIN 
- , 
Many acres of land go to waste each year because seed grains are sown without much thought as to purity and quality. Fields infested with Mustard 
represent the result obtained from careless handling and purchase of poor quality seed. When uncleaned or impure seed grain is used for seed, noxious 
weeds are planted in a few hours which it takes years of effort to get rid of. Assure yourself of greater production by buying Gurney’s Pedigreed Seed 
BARLEY 
# WISCONSIN PEDIGREE No. 38 
The Best Malting Barley 
This new malting barley was originated at the 
Wisconsin Experiment Station. 
It is a smooth awned barley, will outyield any 
other barley grown, stands hot, dry weather very 
well, and will make a crop of nice, plump barley 
when other varieties may be a total failure. 
Malting barley brings the highest prices and 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 is the best malting 
barley on the market today. The straw is stiff 
and stands up very well. 1 bu., $1.25; 2 bu., 
$2.45; 5 bu., $6.00; 10 bu., $11.80; 50 bu.. 
$57.50. 
• IOGOLD OATS 
This new, early yellow oat of the Kherson 
family was originated in 1927 at the Iowa Experi¬ 
ment Station. It combines the advantages of 
stiffness of straw, high yield per acre, and re¬ 
sistance to stem rust. Some wonderful yields 
have been reported by our customers; much 
better than other varieties in the same neigh¬ 
borhood. 
1 bu., 70c; 3 bu., $1.95; 10 bu.. $6.20; 50 
bu., $29.50. 
• VELVET 
High Quality smooth awned Malting Barley— 
A heavy yielder, with stiff straw, and more 
disease resistant than other varieties. Good 
Velvet Barley always brings the highest price 
for malting purposes. 1 bu., $1.20; 2 bu., $2.35; 
5 bu., $5.75; 10 bu., $11.30; 50 bu., $55.00. 
SPELTZ OR EMMER 
A draught resistant grain doing well under 
almost any conditions of soil or climate, which 
is neither rye, wheat, nor barley, but looks like 
a combination of them. It resembles wheat 
more closely than any. High in food value, it 
produces enormous crops on soil so poor that it 
• will not produce a paying crop of wheat. Speltz 
' should be planted early using about 40 or 50 
pounds of seed per acre. 50 lbs., $1.60; 100 lbs., 
$2.90; 500 lbs., $14.00; 1,000 lbs., $27.50. 
RYE (Fall or Winter) 
FOR PASTURE 
If planted in the spring, Winter Rye will make 
very few if any heads, but will continue to pro¬ 
duce leaves and make good pasture until late in 
the summer. Sweet clover can be planted with 
the rye at the rate of about 5 pounds per acre. 
This will make good pasture in the fall after the 
rye is gone. 14 lbs., 45c; 28 lbs., 75c; 1 bu., 
$1.20; 2 bu., $2.30; 5 bu., $5.60; 10 bu., $10.75. 
• JAPANESE MILLET 
• GOPHER OATS 
An early maturing, open panicled, white grain, 
stiff-straw variety. It is an excellent yielder 
and does exceptionally well on peat lands. Yields 
of over 70 bu. per acre are not unusual. We have 
unusually fine seed this year. It pays to plant 
good seed. 
1 bu., 70c; 3 bu., $1.95; 10 bu., $6.20; 50 bu., 
$29.50. 
FLAX 
• BISON WILT RESISTANT 
This Wilt Resistant Argentine type flax will 
outyield any other variety, and before many 
years, I believe most of the flax grown in the 
United States will be of this large seeded, 
vigorous type. 
Plant from 2 to 3 pecks of flax per acre in a 
firm, well prepared seed bed that is reasonably 
free from weeds. Do not plant flax if grass¬ 
hoppers are bad. 
1 bu., $2.85; 2 bu., $5.65; 5 bu., $14.00; 10 
bu., $27.75; 50 bu., $137.50. 
• SIBERIAN MILLET 
A wonderfully productive hay millet. It never 
grows as coarse as the German, making a better 
quality hay. It grows about 3 feet tall and is the 
earliest of the millets. Plant 30 pounds per 
acre. 1 lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 75c; 50 lbs., $2.10; 
100 lbs., $3.45; 500 lbs., $16.25. 
• GERMAN MILLET 
Few grasses or plants will ever make the 
enormous yields of hay and seed produced by the 
German Millet; 4 or 5 tons of hay and 60 or 70 
bushels of seed per acre have been reported. It 
may be planted as late as July 1st and still ma¬ 
ture. Plant 25 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 20c; 
10 lbs., 75c; 50 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., $3.45; 500 
lbs., $16.25. 
D. B. Gurney says Plant Sorghums. 
They are drought resistant 
We recommend this millet for the following 
reasons: First—It makes more hay then any 
of the other millets. Second—The hay is of 
excellent quality and is superior to corn fodder 
even though it grows to a height of seven or 
eight feet. Third—It is superior to all other 
millets on low, wet land, often yielding 3 or 4 
tons of hay per acre. Fourth—It is the only 
millet that will produce two crops in a season. 
Plant 20 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 
75c; 50 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., $3.45; 500 lbs., 
$16.25. 
WHEAT 
Thatcher Wheat has again proved itself to be 
the most rust resistant spring wheat ever intro¬ 
duced. In the rust epidemics of 1935 and 1937, 
it has in many localities been the only wheat 
worth cutting. 
• THATCHER 
This new wheat from the Minnesota Experi¬ 
ment Station is the highest yielding and most 
rust resistant of any wheat ever put out. 
In Yankton County the one small field of 
Thatcher wheat yielded 26 bushels per acre: 
other wheat made from nothing to 5 bushels 
of very poor quality wheat. 
Thatcher is a good milling wheat, grows on 
strong, stiff straw, and will stand up very well. 
Get started in this wonderful new wheat this 
year. Don’t take chances on losing your entire 
wheat crop from rust. 1 bu., $2.20; 2 bu.,$4.35; 
5 bu., $10.75; 10 bu., $21.20; 50 bu., $105.00. 
• BURBANK QUALITY 
Burbank is the earliest spring wheat, and on 
this account, will often escape damage by rust 
when other varieties are a total loss. A large 
seeded hard, white wheat suitable for bread 
making, and brings a good price on the market. 
In Yankton County in a good season, yields 
of from 30 to 40 bushels per acre are very com¬ 
mon. I believe Burbank wheat will make you 
more money than Ceres or Marquis. 1 bu., 
$1.70; 2 bu., $3.35; 5 bu., $8.25; 10 bu., 
$16.25; 50 bu., $80.00. 
BUCKWHEAT 
• SILVER HULLED 
A heavy yielding variety used extensively as 
a late crop. An excellent Bee food. It loosens 
up the hardest soil and is a good green fertilizer 
when plowed under. It is a marvelous feed for 
poultry which the chickens can harvest in the 
field. Sow 36 pounds per acre drilled; 48 pounds 
broadcast. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 
85c; 25 lbs., $1.30; 50 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., $3.75. 
FOR HAYand GRAIN 
• PROFESSOR HANSEN'S WHITE 
SIBERIAN PROSO 
It will yield well on the driest upland in the 
driest years in all our western states. When it 
is hulled and cooked for the table the Russians 
call it Kasha, and it is very extensively used in 
European Russia, Siberia, and other parts of 
Asia, especially the driest regions. 
For feeding stock, poultry, and everything of 
that kind Proso is equal to or better than wheat. 
Proso is also specially valuable as a summer 
catch crop, something that can be planted very 
late. It can be planted as late as July 15th and 
still mature a crop of grain and hay. 
Sow 20 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 
70c; 25 lbs., $1.20; 50 lbs., $1.95; 100 lbs., 
$3.25; 500 lbs., $15.50. 
• EARLY FORTUNE—RED HOG OR 
RED PROSO MILLET 
This is one of the most valuable crops that the 
farmer can raise, the seed being the richest and 
most valuable stock food that can be produced. 
A very much prized peculiarity of this millet is 
that the seed ripens while the hay is yet green, 
when, if cut properly, it can be thrashed for seed, 
while the hay makes excellent fodder. 1 lb., 20c; 
10 lbs., 65c; 50 lbs., $1.65; 100 lbs., $2.90; 
500 lbs., $13.50.
