OLDS’ SEED GRAINS 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE VARIETIES. Wisconsin stands at the 
head of all the states in developing valuable pedigree strains of 
grains. We are in close touch with the work done along this line 
at the Wisconsin Experiment Station here at Madison and offer the 
varieties produced by them, confining ourselves mostly to those 
varieties. 
WISCONSIN CERTIFIED SEED. This seed is grown from founda- 
tion stock obtained each year from the Wisconsin College of Agri- 
culture, Pield inspections are made by a representative of the Wis- 
consin Experiment Association and official samples are taken for 
laboratory test by the inspector. Seed must show a purity of 99. 
There must be not more than one kernel per pound of other va- 
rieties or kinds of grains. No noxious weed seeds and not more than 
ten per pound of other weed seeds. Germination must be 90% or 
better. Foundation seed is seed produced on the station farm. The 
seed is officially tagged and sealed with the certified seed label by 
their representative and -sold in full sealed bags only, These precau- 
tions are taken to safeguard the identity of the seed and to main- 
tain high quality. 
STANDARD SEED. Our “Standard Seed’’ shows high purity and 
is nearly equal to the Certified Seed. Used bags are furnished free. A Typical Field of Wisconsin Pedigree Barley.

WISCONSIN PEDIGREE NO. 38 BARBLESS 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 originated at the Wisconsin Experiment Station in 1916 when a black, 
smooth awn barley from southern Russia was crossed with Oderbrucker. The object was to combine 
the yield, stiffness of straw, light color and high quality of the Oderbrucker with the smooth awn of 
this Russian barley. The result has been marvelous, for not only has a smooth awn heen secured but 
the yield of the Oderbrucker has been greatly increased while all of the other good qualities have been 
peices: THE VALUABLE FEATURES OF WISCONSIN BARBLESS ARE: 
First—Smooth Beards. This makes the barley nice to handle. Some farmers say they would just 
as soon handle this barley as to handle oats. 
Second—Resistance to Hot Weather. This barley is from three to five days later than Oderbrucker 
and other rough bearded barley. This is not an objection but an advantage as it stmply adds to the 
maturity period producing a larger kernel than the earlier varieties. 5 
Third—Heavy Yielding Qualities. It has gone way beyond all others in yield, In the southern counties 
the yields have been shooting up as high as 80 bushels per acre, machine measure. 55 and 60 seem 
quite common, which is easily a gain of one-fourth to one-third over the rough barley. 
In addition to its other good qualities it has shown itself much more resistant to stripe disease than 
any other barley.

WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY (Rough Bearded Oderbrucker) 
(Wisconsin Pedigree 5-1) 
Wisconsin Pedigree Barley has for years held its place as the leading variety of six-rowed. barley. 
It has doubled the yield of common barley and has been worth millions of dollars to the farmers of 
Wisconsin alone. § 
It originated at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture and was the result of 12 years of pains- 
taking breeding work, [t still stands out above all previous varieties of barley for heavy yield, plump 
grain, stiff straw, large heads and great feeding 
value. Some of our growers think it yields better 
than the new Wisconsin No, 38.

TREAT SEED GRAIN WITH 
NEW IMPROVED CERESAN 
A dry treatment which effectively kills certain 
seed-borne grain diseases by both contact and 
vapor. Recommended by most experiment sta- 
tions. Inexpensive—one pound treats 32 bushels 
of seed grain and frequently increases yields.

Barley—Usually controls seed-borne stripe, 
covered and black (not brown) loose smuts, and 
reduces seedling blight and root-rot.
