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 
of 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 
page 32 for Sale Prices.

VaISCONSIN 38 TYPE 
Improved Barbless Barley 
This is an improved type of the Velvet Barley. On 
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. 
Has been introduced extensively the past four years 
in Illinois. In a few years it will be one of the 
most popular varieties 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. 
Every farmer should grow barley. During the past 
two years it has been the best paying grain crop on 
the farm. We have talked to a good many farmers 
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 
the seed.
