22 Improved Seed Selection Makes Growers More Money 
























This is Velvet Type 
of Barbless Beards 
This type of barley was ‘introduced a 
few years ago as one of the first types of 
barbless barley. Since that time the Wis- 
consin 38 type of barbless barley was de- 
veloped and is considered by many to be 
an improved type. This Velvet type took 
the place of the old Beardless Barley that 
was grown about twenty-two years ago. 
The Velvet type with barbless beards was a great improvement, as 
the beards protected the grain during early summer hot weather. 
Is a six row kind. 
Increasing Barley Acreage 
Thousands of farmers are again turning to Barley growing since this 
variety has come on the market. Barley is the heaviest producing small 
grain crop in the northern part of the United States. It yields more pounds 
ef grain per acre and it is valuable feed. 
Our Velvet Barley is being grown successfully over a large territory and 
is being used in sections where barley has not been generally grown. You'll 
be enthusiastic about it too after growing it. See

a four year test it made an average yield of over 
50 bushels per acre; outyielded all well known varie- 
ties. It is a smooth awned, white six row barley.

in Illinois. In a few years it will be one of the 
most popular yarieties grown. The barbs have been 
removed from the beards by a breeding process. No 
discomfort in harvesting and threshing this variety. 
The Best for Malting and Brewing 
A large brewing concern has made several tests 
and found the Wis. 38 Type exceedingly fine for 
both malting and brewing purposes. Other Maltsters 
have made tests and predict this variety will become 
the great malting and brewing barley of the country. 
It is to your advantage to buy this type of barley. 
It is practically free from disease. Yields more than. 
other popular varieties.

two years it has been the best paying grain crop on

in our office about barley. Most of them claim they 
could not farm without barley. This is ,a nice big 
plump barley. ‘Buy this variety and obtain an extra 
yield that will more than repay you for the cost of

: Sheldon, I. 
Gentlemen: Wish to say that the hundred 
pounds of America’s Best Mixture I got of you 
last Spring made one of the finest stands of grass. 
f Any farmer that wants to build up his soil 
would do well to use it. 
(Signed) Edw. E. Miller. 
Gentlemen: 



I have sown your seed for a few 
years and have splendid results. 
glad to recommend your company ag I have always 
found your seed as represented. 
Yours. truly, 
(Signed) John F. Mills. 
A new type of barley developed in 
1929 at the Iowa Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station. IOGLOS is a 
smooth awned barley. It is a high 
yielding strain. It has a very stiff 
straw. Does not lodge like most va- 
rieties. It resists rust as well as 
other well known barleys. Experi- 
ments during 1930 to 1937 in Iowa 
show that it had an average yield of 
over 48 bushels for the eight years. 
One year it yielded over 60 bushels 
per acre. It was the best of 7 well 
known varieties. 
A Malting Barley 
Tests made by malting laboratories 
indicate that Iogloss should have the 
same malt ratings as Velvet and 
Wisconsin No. 38, which are both 
recognized for their malting qualities. 
You always get a premium on the 
market for good barley that will 
grade for malting. Sell part of your 
crop to your neighbors for seed. An 
extra yield will more than pay for the 
cost of the seed.
