WINTER WHEAT 
M » _ A bearded winter wheat similar to Minturki in 
armin yielding ability, winter hardiness, disease re- 
sistance and time of maturity. Has higher bushel weight, 
harder texture of grain and produces whiter flour than 
Minturki, 
Mi t kj A very hardy variety, in fact, the hardiest of 
INCUFKI hard winter wheats. Red beard with strong 
straw. Originated from a cross between Turkey and Odessa, 
the crossing being accomplished at the Minnesota Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station in 1902 and was first distributed in 
1919. It has outyielded other varieties of winter wheat in 
Minnesota and seems to be particularly adapted to this state. 
Of good baking quality.

IscOoNnsiIn O. 38 veloped by the Wisconsin 
station. Resistant to Barley stripe. Has a large head and 
plump kernel, and is about 4 days later than Velvet or Oder- 
brucker., Stands the heat and dry weather better than the 
earlier Barleys. Many yields of 40 to 50 bushels are reported. 
A fine malting variety. 
L B ; A new six row rough awned malting barley 
ar ey developed in North Dakota. It is about a 
week to ten days earlier than Wisconsin 38 and reports from 
Minnesota and the Dakotas show very satisfactory yields in 
1944 which was not a favorable year for barley in general. 
RYE 
S . Makes an excellent crop where winter grain has 
pring been killed out, or for sowing where a fall crop 
has not been planted. If desired it can be turned under as 
a good fertilizer. Sow seed same time as other spring grain. 
: Introduced by the Michigan Ex- 
Rosen (Winter perimental Station, and produces 
grain which is considerably larger than other Winter Sorts. 
Kernels are plump and heavy, bright yellowish-blue in color.
