SPRING GRAINS 
‘\WISCONSIN 38’ (VELVET) 
BARLEY 
Many stock feeders make the claim that 
barley is similar to corn in feeding 
value. “Wisconsin 38” is the best yield- 
ing strain of its type—grows smooth 
beards—without the sharp barbs. The 
six-row type—very resistant to the 
stripe disease which badly injures some 
barleys. Most popular. Grain matures 
early. Straw good. Useful nurse crop. 
2-ROW TYPE BARLEYS 
Alpha: Popular 2-row spring barley 
throughout New York State and North- 
ern areas .. . developed at New York 
experiment station. Good yielding ... 
firm straw ... nice grain. Hardy. 
Sparton: Good-yielding, bearded va- 
riety developed in Michigan. Well 
adapted also for Northern Pennsylvania. 
“HENRY’’ SPRING WHEAT 
Of all varieties thus far developed, this 
new “Henry” spring wheat seems to 
be most worthy. Bred in Wisconsin. 
Heavy yielder . . . adapted to resist at- 
tacks of rust, the enemy that so often 
has overcome many an otherwise good 
strain. Good flour type. Spring wheat 
is sown mostly in higher altitudes of 
these Eastern areas. 
“Marquis Type’’—Used successfully 
through the East for many years. 
Smaller size kernel. Good milling wheat. 
SPELTZ 
Speltz grows on poor land. Resists 
drought, smut, rust. Not readily dam- 
aged by rain. Adaptable to wide range 
of soil and climate. Fed to cows, horses, 
cattle, hogs. Often mixed with bran 
shorts. Ripens medium early. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Here is a grain crop to help out in any 
feed shortage. Buckwheat also makes 
good flour. The middlings have high 
protein content. | 
Yield in grain and straw is heavy— 
even on thin soils. Buckwheat will do 
very well on fallow land. Seeding may 
be done all of June and first half July. 
A good standby for other fields in case 
a bad spring ruins earlier seedings. 
Some folks use buckwheat to choke 
out weeds and grass. Provides extra 
bushels of feed. Bees like the blossoms. 
To tame wild land—idle ground—sow 
buckwheat. Applying 200 pounds su- 
perphosphate steps up yield maybe 5 to 
8 bushels—one bushel to the acre. It’s 
a quick, sure emergency crop. 
SPRING RYE 
A grain-producing rye, not as tall or 
plump as winter rye. Sow early. Handle 
about like oats. Good for spring pas- 
ture, soiling purposes. Supply short. 
“\CERESAN”’ to Treat 
OATS—BARLEY—WHEAT 
Seed doesn't have to be smutty to need 
this new, improved ‘’Ceresan.’’ Exten- 
sive tests prove this treatment increases 
yield even where there is no sign of 
smut. In 65 oats tests over a 3-year pe- 
riod, yield from ‘‘Ceresan"'-treated seed 
increased 18 bushels for every 100. 
Barley and wheat yields increased 6 
bushels for every 100—a big return for 
a couple cents a bushel cost. 
At such cost, it just doesn’t pay to 
gamble with losses through stripe and 
seeding blight, covered or black loose 
smut, or seed rotting by soil fungus. 
Use it on your oats, wheat and barley 
seed 24 hours BEFORE planting—'2 
ounce per bushel of seed. See price list.
