Seed Grains 
Spring Wheat 
On irrigated lands, sow 60 to 75 pounds per acre; on dry 
land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
EARLY BART—Bart wheat Is a white soft spring 
wheat suitable for dry land conditions. 
KOMAR WHEAT—Komar is a bearded hard red 
spring wheat, produced by crossing Kota and 
Marquis at the North Dakota Experiment Station. 
After experimental trials, both under irrigation 
and dry land conditions, this variety has been 
released as standard for Colorado on both irri¬ 
gated and non-irrigated land. Komar, though not 
entirely resistant to rust, is more resistant than 
Marquis or Ceres. The milling and baking qualities 
of Komar are excellent. 
MACARONI OR DURUM—This is the dry farmer’s 
favorite and friend. It is vigorous and hardy. 
Noted for Its heat-resisting qualities. It is fine 
for feeding purposes, but not so popular with the 
millers. 
NEW MARQUIS—Is a very early, beardless, hard, red, 
spring wheat, very productive. It has higher milling 
and baking qualities than most of the varieties of spring 
wheat known today, and will almost always grade No. 1. 
Besides being about 10 days earlier than most spring 
wheats it generally outyields them and has been known 
to produce 45 to 60 bushels per acre. 
As it is short, stiff strawed, it is not likely to lodge 
and stands up well under irrigated conditions. The grain 
is plump and of a dark red appearance. 
Winter Wheat 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 75 pounds per acre; on dry 
land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
KANREO—This new winter wheat has taken the country 
by storm. Developed by the Kansas State Agricultural 
College, and is now the most popular variety In the 
Middle West. It is similar to Turkey Red wheat, but 
earlier, more resistant to rust and a better yielder. It is 
the hardiest winter wheat yet produced. Records show 
that in one locality Kanred came through the winter 
unscathed while 50 per cent of other varieties were 
killed. It is also a better milling wheat. 
TURKEY BED—This is the leading winter variety grown 
here, it is a bearded variety; very prolific, and stands 
the cold and drought well. 
Seed Grains- (Continued) 
Barley 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on 
dry land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
COLSESS BARLEY—This is a combination of the 
California feed and success barleys, having been 
improved until it is beardless, and much earlier 
than either of its predecessors. It is a great ac¬ 
quisition to the grain crops; can be successfully 
grown in both the non-irrigated and mountain dis¬ 
tricts of the West. It is hardy, early and a heavy 
yielder, and with its freedom from the trouble¬ 
some beards make it the surest and best grain 
crop for the West. 
CLUB MARIOUT BARLEY—Club Mariout Barley is 
an extremely early maturing, six-rowed, hulled 
and smooth, awned variety. It plays the same role 
on the dryland that Trebi plays on the irrigated 
land. Developed by the Akron Station and since 
its release has met with marked favor on the dry¬ 
lands. Under extreme drouthy conditions it has 
produced excellent yields. 
FLYNN BARLEY—Flynn Barley has shown up well 
on the dry land station at Akron. Its smooth- 
awned character makes it a desirable barley for 
dry land planting. 
IMPROVED WHITE HULLESS OR BALD BARLEY 
—^It is HULLESS, BEARDLESS, very hard, and is 
the only grain grown here that equals corn in 
feeding qualities. It is very early, maturing in 
from 80 to 90 days from planting, even at alti¬ 
tudes of 8,000'to 9,000 feet. It is vigorous, and on 
good soils yields from 60 to 80 bushels per acre. 
It is especially suitable for cultivation without 
irrigation, and will make a crop where wheat and 
other grains would fail. 
TREBI BARLEY—This is a six-rowed, bearded, 
hulled barley adapted to irrigated conditions. At 
the Ft. Collins Experiment Station it outyielded 
all other barleys in a six-year test. Though it is 
a rough awned variety it has the advantage over 
coast barley in that the awns thresh free from 
the grain, thus eliminating considerable danger 
in feeding. 
WISCONSIN NO. 38, BREWING OR MALT BARLEY— 
Wisconsin No. 38 was developed by the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station. It is a smooth, awned, heavy 
yielding variety. 
In Colorado the past season yields of 70 bushels 
per acre have been reported. It is the best vari¬ 
ety for the manufacture of malt and its heavy 
yielding quality makes it equally desirable for 
feeding purposes. 
Speltz or Spring Emmer 
Sow 40 to 50 pounds per acre on non-irrigated land; 60 
to 80 pounds on irrigated land. 
A valuable grain belonging to the wheat family. 
Kernels are tightly enclosed in hulls which adhere 
at threshing. Speltz has a feeding value equal to 
oats, and only slightly less than barley and corn. 
It is extremely rust resistant, and will not lodge 
like other grains, because of its stiff heavy straw, 
Speltz can be grown on many kinds of soil, rich or 
poor. 
Its earliness and hardiness enables it to mature 
before the hot, dry weather comes on. It is a heavy 
yielder, often producing 75 to 100 bushels per acre 
under favorable conditions. 
Speltz makes wonderful feed and is especially fine 
for hogs and poultry. 
New Improved Ceresan 
A new duit disinfectant for seed 
oats, barley, wheat, and other cereals 
made by the manufacturers of Semc- 
san. Effective in controlling seed 
borne diseases, such as Loose-Smut 
of oats. Stinking-smut of Wheat, etc. 
One pound treats 32 bushels of seed.
