resistant variety is demonstrated in a practical 
way by the results of the 1941 S. C. 3-acre wheat 
growing contest. In this contest, Hardired won 
both first and second prizes with yields of 56.5 
and 55.73 bushels per acre respectively, and the 
39 contestants using this variety produced an 
average yield of 33.56 bushels per acre or more 
than 5% bushels average over the next highest 
variety and almost three times South Carolina’s 
normal yield. In the 1941 Wheat Variety Test 
conducted at Edisto Experiment Station, Black- 
ville, S. C., in the lower coastal plains section, 
Hardired made the highest yield of the 16 
varieties tested. 
SATISFACTORY RESULTS OVER 
WIDE AREA 
Reports from leading farmers have _ been 
received from Virginia to South Georgia and 
from the Carolina Tidewater to the Delta of 
Mississippi, testifying to the production, disease 
resistance and quality of this outstanding wheat 
variety—Hardired. Mr. H. V. Lee writes from 
Danville, Virginia: “The bushel of MHardired 
wheat you let me have last October combined a 
little over 52 bushels.”” Mr. Hugh Dunn of Clarks- 
dale, in the Mississippi Delta, produced 560 
bushels of Hardired on 10 acres. 
SHOWS UP WELL IN EXPERIMENT 
STATION TESTS 
In the 1940 Wheat Variety Test at the Delta 
Branch Experiment Station, Stoneville, Missis- 
sippi, Hardired wheat led all varieties with a 
yield of 41 bushels per acre. Hardired also made 
an excellent record at the Piedmont Branch 
Experiment Station, Statesville, N. C. In the 
1940 test there in which 53 varieties and strains 
of wheat were included, Hardired came second 
with a yield of 39.1 bushels per acre or only two- 
tenths of a bushel less than the highest. 
HARDIRED STRAIN 2—A BETTER STRAIN 
OF AN OUTSTANDING VARIETY 
Hardired Strain 2, which we are offering for 
the first time this season, has all the good quali- 
ties of its parent strain and in addition, has a 
stiffer straw and a greater degree of uniformity. 
Its milling quality is excellent. We offer this new 
strain in the belief that it will help the South 
to move further along the road of economic 
independence. 
PRICES: 1 to 12 bushels, $5.00 per bushel. 
12 to 48 bushels, $4.75 per bushel. 
above 48 bushels, $4.50 per bushel. 
Hardired, as its name indicates, has a high degree of winter hardiness. Its characteristic low spreading 
winter growth is shown in center rows in foreground.
