Spring Wheat for the Northwest 
NEW REGENT WHEAT 
Regent is a beardless, early maturing, high- 
yielding variety having very strong straw. It 
is the result of a H44 x Reward cross made at 
the Dominion Rust Laboratory at Winnipeg, 
Canada. It is resistant to stem and leaf rust 
and to bunt, moderately resistant to loose 
_ smut, but is susceptible to seab. 
Regent has a higher test weight than That- 
cher and appears about equal to it in milling 
and baking quality. Recommended for growing 
on heavy soils in western and northwestern 
Minnesota, and similar territories. Registered by 
American Society of Agronomy. Recommended 
by Minnesota Experiment Station. See Blue 
Figure Price List. 
The Best in Barley 
Wisconsin Barbless (Wis. 38) 
A smooth awned, high-yielding variety of 
barley with white aleurone, and is of acceptable 
malting quality. It is resistant to spot blotch, 
moderately resistant to barley stripe, but is 
susceptible to scab and loose smut. It has 
yielded more than any other variety in tests 
conducted in Minnesota during the last 11 
years. It was produced by the Wisconsin 
Station from a cross of Lion and Oderbrucker, 
It is on the recommended list of the Minne- 
sota Experiment Station and the Minnesota 
Crop Improvement Association. Approved by 
the American Society of Agronomy. See Blue 
Figure Price List.

NEW RIVAL WHEAT 
Rival is the result of a Ceres x (Hope-Flor- 
ence) cross made at the North Dakota Station. 
It’s a bearded, mid-season, high-yielding, hard, 
red spring wheat. Plant is mid-tall and ker- 
nels are quite large. It is moderately resistant 
to stem and leaf rust. It is resistant to bunt 
and loose smut, moderately susceptible to scab, . 
and susceptible to black chaff. Rival has a 
higher bushel weight than Thatcher and ap- 
pears equal in milling and baking quality. 
Rival is recommended for southern .Minne- 
sota largely because it is less susceptible to 
scab than other varieties. Approved for reg- 
istration by American Society of Agronomy. 
Recommended by Northwest and Minnesota 
Crop Improvement Associations, and Minnesota 
Experiment Station. See Blue Figure Price 
List. 
Winter Rye 
New Imperial Wisconsin No. 6 
This new hardy, high yielding Winter Rye 
was developed by selection at the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station, (Wis. Ped, No. 6). It 
differs from the older pedigree strains in being 
pure for colorless seed and is often called 
‘‘white rye.’’ The five-year average yield for 
this excellent variety at the Waseca HExperi- 
ment Station is 47 bu. per acre—a most out- 
standing record of performance. It is well 
adapted for all regions of Minnesota and the 
Northwest and has been so superior in per- 
formance that it has been placed on the 
recommended list by the Minnesota Experiment 
Station. See Blue Figure Price List. 
Treat Seed Grains to Prevent Smut 
All seed grains including wheat, barley, 
are susceptible to 
smuts of various kinds which reduce the 
yields from 10% to 50% in many instances. 
Some varieties are attacked more vigorously 
than others, but no matter how susceptible 
the variety may be to smut, it can be con-

MARMIN 
Winter Wheat ' 
4 (See Below) 
Best Winter Wheat 
New MARMIN Winter WHEAT 
A bearded winter wheat similar to Minturki 
in yielding ability, winter hardiness, disease 
resistance and time of maturity. It has higher 
bushel weight, harder texture, and produces 
whiter flour than Minturki. Because of this 
better milling quality and higher bushel weight, 
Marmin will probably grade higher on the mar- 
ket. A Minturki and Marquis cross. Rec- 
ommended by Minnesota Experiment Station. 
See Blue Figure Price List. 
MINTURKI WINTER WHEAT 
A bearded, white chaffed, stiff strawed va- 
riety of the Turkey type. It is early-maturing, 
yields well, is somewhat resistant to stem rust, 
and moderately resistant to bunt, loose smut, 
and fusarial head blight, but is moderately sus- 
ceptible. to leaf rust. It is a very hardy 
winter variety. A cross of Turkey and Odessa. 
Recommended by Minnesota Experiment Sta- 
tion. See Blue Figure Price List. 
Speltz or Emmer 
A valuable grain belonging to the wheat 
family. Kernels are tightly enclosed in hulls 
which adhere at threshing. Speltz has a feed- 
ing value equal to oats, and only slightly less 
than barley and corn. It is extremely rust 
resistant, and will not lodge like other grains, 
because of its stiff heavy straw. Speltz can 
be grown on many kinds of soil, rich or poor, 
throughout Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and 
the Dakotas. 
Speltz makes wonderful feed and is especial- 
ly fine for hogs and poultry. Sow 1%-2 bush- 
els per acre, adjusting the drill the same as 
for oats. See Blue Figure Price List,

The Best Treatment To Use Is New Improved Ceresan 
New improved Ceresan is a dust treatment—no wet, swol- 
len grain to handle. It may be applied with a regular seed 
per bu. of seed. This is the lowest cost of any seed treat- 
ment on the market. By using New Improved Ceresan you 
may increase the yield of grain by 10% to 20% or more. 
Improved Ceresan: 4 oz. (treats 8 bu. of seed), 30c, 1-Ib. tin 85c, postpaid. Not prepaid: 4-lb. tin $2.70, 8-Ib. tin $5.40.
