OLDS’ SEED GRAINS 
WISCONSIN W BRAND CERTIFIED SEED. This seed is grown 
from foundation stock obtained each year from the Wisconsin Colhege 
of Agriculture. Field inspections are made by a representative of 
the Wisconsin Experiment Association and. official samples are taken 
for laboratory test by the inspector. Seed must show a purity of 
99.5, There must be not more than one kernel per pound of other 
varieties or kinds of grains. No noxious weed seeds and not more 
than ten per pound of other weed seeds. Germination must be 90 
per cent or better. Foundation seed is seed produced on the station 
farm, The seed is officially tagged and sealed with the certified 
red W seed label by their representative and sold in full sealed 
bags only. These precautions are taken to safeguard the identity 
of the seed and to maintain high quality. 

STANDARD SEED. Our ‘‘Standard Seed’’ shows high purity and 
is nearly equal to the Certified Seed, 
Most of it is produced from 
Certified Seed, Used bags are furnished free.

A Typical Field of Wisconsin Pedigree Barley. 
OLDS’ SEED BARLEY 
(Sow 96 to 110 pounds to the acre.) 
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 been secured but 
the yield of the Oderbrucker has been greatly increased while all of the other good qualities have been 
pebeined 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. me 
Second—Resistance to Hot Weather. This barley is from three to five days later than Oderbrucker 
and other rough bearded barley. his is not an objection but an advantage as it simply adds to the 
maturity period producing a larger kernel than the. earlier varieties. ; 
Third—AHeavy 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. It 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 ALL 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 stations. Inexpensive one 
pound treats 32 bushels of seed grain and 
frequently increases yields, Use New Im- 
proved Ceresan on— 

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

Oats—Generally controls loose and cov- 
erd smuts and reduces seedling blight and 
root-rot. 
Wheat—Usually controls  seed-borne 
bunt or stinking smut, but not loose smut. 
It reduces seedling blight and root-rot 
losses; also smut dockage, 

Rye—Generally effective against scab Barley from New Improved ‘‘Ceresan’’ treated seed (right) 
seedling blight, stem smut and stinking had only a trace of covered smut; the untreated (left) 
smut. had 9.2 per cent. 
Sorghums—Checks loose and covered 
kernel smuts. 
Flax—Reduces damping-off and seed 
decay; helps secure good stands. 
Peas—Generally checks certain root- 
rots and seed rotting, helps insure good 
stands, One pound treats 16 bushels. 
Prices: 4-0z. can (treats 8 bu.), 30c; 
1 Ib., 80c, postpaid. 5 lbs., $3.40; by 
mail, $3.60; (until present stocks are ex- 
hausted), then order 4-Ib. size, $2.70; 3 
by mail, $2.90; 25 Ibs., $15.00; 100 Ibs. New Improved ‘‘Ceresan’’ seed treatment made this profit- 
$55.00. Sizes and prices subject to change. able yield difference on wheat—6.9 bushels more per acre.
