Beardless Barley Strain No. 4 compared with competing unadapted varieties 
Marett’s Pedigreed Beardless Barley 
Strain No. 4 (16-22-24) 
Season: Very early. Our Strain No. 4 supplants our Strain No. 3 and according 
to our records, produces an average of 514 bushels more per acre. At Clemson 
College in the year 1939, it produced 68 bushels per acre, leading all other varieties, 
and in 1940 made a yield of 57 bushels per acre. 
Marett’s Beardless Barley is a true Hooded type, with long, heavy and compact heads. 
The straw is stronger than previous strains of this variety. We do not claim it to be 
resistant to white mould or striped-leaf, though we did not see any striped-leaf in it 
for the crop year 1941. 
Barley has been called “The Winter Corn Crop”. On an average, it should produce 
about twice as many bushels per acre on up-lands and compares favorably bushel for 
bushel in feeding value. Whole Barley makes a very fine feed for growing calves and all 
young growing stock. In the case of grown stock, it is also good, but some prefer 
hammering or soaking in water a few hours before feeding. Harvest this Barley when 
the heads become brown and the straw is still a little green, this will prevent shattering 
and will not affect the germination. For combining, it must be thoroughly ripe and 
dry. Sow about 21% bushels per acre for seed purposes. For grazing purposes, or to 
cut as a hay crop, sow not less than 314 to 4 bushels. 
Per Bu. $2.50; 10 Bus. $2.40 per Bu.; 30 Bus. $2.30 per Bu.
