VALUE OF THE CROP 
Recognized by many Good Farmers as the 
most profitable of all Grain Crops to grow. 
Taken from the standpoint of yield, feeding- 
value and Cash Market demand, few if any 
crops gives so much back for the amount of 
time and money spent to produce it. No 
grain crop equals it in feeding value and it 
makes the best of all “Nurse Crops” for 
clovers and grasses. Stands up well on rich 
ground and is very resistant to adverse soil 
and weather conditions. 
ODERBRUCKER 
The best known and most widely planted 
variety. A high yielding, hardy grain. Very 
stiff straw and a great stooler. Heads six- 
rowed, protected by beards with harsh awns 
producing grain usually plumper and heavier 
than other barley. Very rust resistant. 
SPELTZ 
A splendid Grain introduced into this coun¬ 
try from Russia where it is called Emmer. 
Different from any other grain but resembles 
barley more than any other. Grain softer 
and dandy to feed without bother of grinding, 
as the looser hull is also of high feed value. 
Very resistant to cold, drought, rust and 
blight which makes it a most dependable 
crop. Grain very high in feeding value with 
straw equal to oats for roughage. Relished 
by all kinds of live stock and poultry. Also 
excellent for pasture and green hay. Drill 
or broadcast 2 to 2 y 2 bushels per acre on 
field prepared same as for other grain. Har¬ 
vest for grain when in hard dough stage. 
Thresh like wheat, but use fewer concaves. 
SUNFIELD’S SPELTZ SEED come from 
fields in the far north. The Seed is extra 
Wisconsin Pedigree 38 
highly recleaned and graded and always “the 
last word” in quality. 
VELVET 
One of the new kinds of Barley 
producing a six row head protected 
by smooth awnless beards. A splen¬ 
did yielder of plump meaty grain 
of excellent feeding and malting 
value. Stiff straw which is very re¬ 
sistant to lodging. A wonderful 
improvement over the “old style” 
barley with harsh barbed beards 
that made the crop so mean to har¬ 
vest. Velvet Barley is just as easy 
and pleasant to handle as wheat. 
This is the new Improved Type of Barb¬ 
less or Velvet Barley developed to furnish a 
variety with extra high feeding value and 
heavy malting content. This, plus its speln- 
did yielding quality makes it the “outstand- 
in” Barley for all purposes. 
A dandy stooler with medium tall very stiff 
straw. Very resistant to lodging and rust. 
Heads rather large, six rowed, barbless or 
smooth beards, making it a grain as easy and 
pleasant to harvest as wheat. 
Try a few acres of this Great Grain. After 
that, you will never need to be urged again 
to sow it. 
Let Speltz help you cut down your feed 
bills. Grow this crop for producing good 
yields of very nutritious feed. A heavy stool¬ 
er, making it good for pasture and for cutting 
as green feed. A splendid Dual Purpose crop.
