BARLEY 
Where you think there will be no damage by 
chinch bugs, a good malting type of barley will pay as 
well as any other crop you can grow. Much better than 
oats, not nearly so hard on your soil as corn or soy 
beans. We offer some very fine quality, smooth awned, 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 barley, from certified seed, 
produced in northern Illinois. This is, we think, the 
best barley so far produced, being produced by the 
Wisconsin Agricultural College a few years ago.

Grows from 7 feet to 10 feet tall. Matures in 120 to 
130 days. Has a sturdy, leafy stalk, abundantly juicy 
and sweet. Superior to Cane. Resistant to lodging and 
much more palatable grain. Grain equal to Kaffir for 
feed.

be planted 'until the ground is thoroughly warmed, and 
not be covered too deep. Sow 7 to 10 pounds per acre.

MORECORN Seed Corn Grader 
These graders are 
made in several 
different sizes but 
the one we show, 
the No. 2 is the 
best for the small 
producer. Grades 
six bushel per hour. 
Takes out the small 
round grains, nar¬ 
row grains and 
pointed grains, also 
thick irregular 
shape. Not only 
eliminates the butt 
and tip kernels but takes out all the uneven and odd 
shape kernels found throughout the ear. The slotted 
sieves forming the rotary circle of the Morecorn Grader 
are corrugated similar to the face of a wash board. Turns 
every kernel on its edge. This insures accurate grading 
as to width. Every kernel must pass inspection.

We are headquarters for good Northern Grown 
Seed Potatoes. Most of our potatoes coming from North¬ 
ern North Dakota, about 40 miles from the Canadian 
line. All black dirt potatoes. Do you know seed 
potatoes from black dirt soil will often produce twice as 
many potatoes as seed from sand land. Possibly, in the 
past, you have planted good looking potatoes which failed 
to produce. Black dirt potatoes usually cost more, but 
are worth more.

dark smooth skin. Price, $2.00 per bag of 100 lbs.

New York truckers for fancy hotel trade that required 
white potatoes. It is almost a pure white potato, round

ing up dry and mealy. Price per 100 lb. bag, $1.85. 
Certified, $2J00.

tato, sometimes called Six Weeks potato, reddish in color,

potato, oblong in shape with two rather flat sides, smooth

powder or dip.

Yields Increased 10% 
32% Less Disease in Potatoes 
Prevents Scab and Decay 
“The increase in yield from Improved Semesan 
Bel was about 20%. I also treated some of my seed 
with hot formaldehyde and I 'am convinced that Improved 
Semesan Bel is much better,” writes one of our grower*.
