CALHOUN BARLEY STRAIN 1 
(Pedigreed) 
This excellent variety was first introduced last year as a new variety 
developed in response to keen demand for a combine type of Barley. Cal- 
houn is highly shatter-resistant and has unusually rigid straw, a combina- 
tion making it especially well suited to combine harvest. 
Calhoun Barley has an excellent record of production. Results of sta- 
tion tests and reports on farm plantings indicate that Calhoun will yield 
With the best. 
Calhoun is particularly recommended for lands in the higher fertility 
level where lodging has occurred with other sorts. All barleys perform 
best on well-drained soil, under good cultivation and fertilizer practice. 
Shallow and timely seeding at 1% to 2 bu. per acre is recommended, with 
topdressing of Nitrogen early in the spring, not later than March 10. . 
The stocks of Calhoun now offered are grown from special rogued 
seed lots and most of the taller, off-type plants have been eliminated.
