Hoffman’s A Proven Money-Making Crop 
WINTER BARLEY Makes Fine Feed and Lois of 11/ 
A good crop of ' Winter Barley’’ will often take the place of 
several tons of high priced commercial feeds. Gives yields as high 
as 60 to 72 bushels per acre in good years, and 34 to 40 bushels in 
poor years. Claimed by many authorities to almost equal corn 
in feeding value. Here's true Seed Barley! See Price List. 
Certified Bearded Barley ("Tennessee Winter") 
The true strain. Certified as to genuineness and purity from other grains and 
varietal mixtures. State authorities have inspected the fields, supervised their 
handling, and tested the grain after it was cleaned and threshed. 
This stock was grown from treated seed that was not smutted. It has been 
treated again so that you may receive the top quality Seed available. Sow 
about two bushels per acre. Put in about two weeks earlier than wheat. Handle 
the same as wheat. 
Certified "Beardless" Barley 
As near the perfect strain as is possible to get. Limited quantity only. Often 
used on our local rich tobacco ground — where they want as strong straw as 
possible. Removes the objection that some people have to beards. Growing in 
popularity. Has been making satisfactory yields. 
Barley ... NOT Certified ... 3 Types 
Besides the Certified Seed, described under the two above headings . . . 
there is also Un-certified Barley here for Hoffman patrons. . . . Both of the 
regular Bearded Tennessee Winter Type, and also of the Beardless Type. A 
great many folks buy this seed every year. It was grown with care from treated 
seed. Is very free from other grains. Neither is claimed to be 100% pure. But 
both are offered at a saving and recommended. 
In very limited supply and offered only subject to unsold is the Smooth-Awn 
Bearded Type. Grows beards, but not rough beards. 
Has not yielded well this year and quantity is short. Please write on your 
order for this type seed, which other variety, if any, may be substituted.

smut or not! One-half ounce of Ceresan treats a bushel of seed. Easy direc¬ 
tions on each can. Prices: 1 pound can, 75 cents; 5 pound can, $3.25. 
"Clipper" Seed Cleaners 
For the cleaning of all kinds of seeds made on the farm. Your Clover seed, 
Timothy, Oats, Corn, Wheat, Beans, and other seeds — can be nicely cleaned 
on this machine. Keep in mind always — new seed wheat from desirable 
sources, other soils, is preferred to seed that is perhaps run out regarding its 
best yielding ability. But, when a man must sow his own wheat, it ought to be 
clean. This "Clipper” will do that job for him. And earn its keep year after 
year on other cleaning it can also do very well. 
Two sizes are in stock. No. 1-B for use by hand or power — capacity 
around 15 bushels wheat per hour. No. 2-B — power use only; about 20 
bushels wheat per hour. Each equipped with 12 screens. See Price List.
