BARLEY FOR MALTING PURPOSES 
Great care must be used in the handling, binning, and threshing of all Barley for malting purposes and for this reason malting Barley 
ALPHA BARLEY 
Alpha Barley originated from a cross 
of the Manchuria, a six-row Barley, 
and the Champion of Vermont, a two- 
row sort. 
strawed, 
somewhat later than standard six-row 
These characteristics make it 
especially desirable for sowing with oats 
for growing a mixed grain crop. This 
Barley has been a consistently high- 
yielding variety at the Cornell Experi- 
ment Station for the past twenty years. 
It is now the leading variety in New 
York State. The kernels are large, 
plump, and heavy, and the yield of the 
grain excellent. Alpha Barley has 
ielded 70 bushels per acre on our own 
arms. 


It is a medium-tall, stiff-

WANG WINTER BARLEY 
First introduction of this new Winter Barley seed will be available after August 1, 1942, for 
sowing in September. 
This is the first time that Wang Winter Barley has been offered for sale. A new cross made 
in China about 1930, it is a six-rowed Barley with short heads, and grayish white kernels. Its 
chief merit is high yield and exceptionally stiff straw. Tests made at the Ithaca Station and in 
regional plots indicate that Wang is superior in yield to other varieties of Winter Barley commonly 
grown in the Northeast, and in addition has straw qualities which enable it to stand when other 
varieties may lodge badly. Out of more than 70 varieties so far tested at Ithaca, Wang has proved 
to be the superior variety. 
For three years the Plant Breeding Department from our State College ha conducted trials 
of Winter Barley on one of our farms and each year this new variety, Wang, has surpassed all other 
varieties. From these trial plots we obtained two bushels of seed in the fall of 1940 and planted 
them on two acres of ground. From these two acres, using only one bushel of seed per acre, we 
obtained 120 bushels of clean seed. 
Several fields were planted f om this stock seed in the fall of 1941, using 11% bushel of seed per 
acre. These crops will be available for seed after August 1, 1942. From the results on our own 
farms we highly recommend this Wang Winter Barley to the Northeastern farmers.

WISCONSIN No. 38 
A Six-Row Barley 
This is a new, smooth-awned 
variety developed by the Wisconsin 
Agricultural Expermment Station. It 
is a little later in maturing than most 
of the stx-row types and has a fairly 
stiff straw if harvested before it is 
fully ripe. It matures at about the 
same time as Alpha and is the highest 
yielding smooth-awned Barley yet 
tested at the Cornell Agricultural
