Seed Grains—(Continued) 

Field Corn 
10 pounds will plant an acre. 
The proper selection and care of Seed Corn is more im- 
portant and exacting than the average grower realizes, and 
in appearance corn suitable for seed purposes is often de- 
ceiving and its seed qualities can only be determined by 
actual tests for germination and vitality. Our Seed Corn 
is strictly Colorado grown (except the ensilage and Hybrid 
varieties), is acclimated and will ripen earlier than eastern 
grown seed. 
Open Pollinated Varieties 
COLORADO No. 13—A selection out of Minnesota 
No. 13 by our State Agricultural College, bred for 
earliness and high yielding quality. The most 
widely used Yellow Dent variety, nfaturing in 100 
to 110 days. 
MINNESOTA, No. 13—Is one of the most popular 
Yellow Dent Corn for Colorado and the western 
states. It is early maturing, stalks are tall and 
leafy, and is excellent for grain or silage. 
COLORADO YELLOW DENT—This is a variety of 
Yellow Dent Corn developed in Colorado and is 
especially well adapted for planting in the dry- 
land districts and in the north, as it is very drought 
resisting and matures early. Fine for grain, fodder 
or ensilage. 
COLORADO WHITE DENT—A corn very similar to 
Colorado Yellow Dent except in color. A White 
Dent variety that has been bred for earliness and 
will nftake a better yield per acre than the Yellow 
Dents, especially on thin soils. 
WHITE AUSTRALIAN—Is a hard Flint corn, adapted 
for cool climates, short seasons, and dry lands. 
Bars are of nfedium size; kernels are white, 
smooth, shallow, rounded and flinty. 
BLUB SQUAW—Is extremely early and of very dwarf 
habits. A.verage length of ears 7% inches, grain 
of dark purple color and sugary. Better for hogging 
down than the White or Yellow Flints as the grain 
is not as hard. Ready to use in about 70 days. 
CALICO—A medium early variey, maturing in about 
100 days. Kernels are variegated, being speckled 
or mottled red, white and yellow. The stalks are 
leafy; the ears carried high. Calico corn has a 
high protein content, making it a very efficient 
d. 
Re oN Ao early, semi Dent corn. The color is 
a somewhat uneven yellow, rows eight to twelve 
and ears large. It will grow and develop in cold 
weather when other more tender sorts stand still. 
It grows tall enough on the stalk to be handled 
with a corn binder. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.25) (10 Ibs. $2.00). 
Ensilage Varieties 
OPEN POLLINATED 
For silage later maturing varieties are used that are grown 
in the southern corn section. These produce an enorm- 
ous amount of forage. The stalks grow 10 to 12 feet tall, 
are very leafy, but do not ripen grain, unless season is very 
favorable. 
RED COB ENSILAGE—110 days. Stalks grow 10 to 
“14 feet high; are short jointed, very leafy, with 
forage of excellent quality. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.25) (10 Ibs. $2.00). 
Barley 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry 
land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
BEECHER—A semi-smooth awned barley that has 
outyielded Club Mariout or Flynn over 25 per cent 
at the U. S. Dryland Station at Akron. Also shows 
a better bushel weight. Stiff strawed. Adapted to 
dryland conditions. 
CLUB MARIOUT—A six-row, rough awned, hulled 
early barley; particularly adapted to eastern Colo- 
rado non-irrigated plains section. 
LICO—This is a high yielding barley, very mtuch like 
Trebi except that it is smooth awned. 
SPARTON—A new two rowed, early maturing Bar- 
ley, with very stiff straw, especially adapted for 
mfountain districts. 
TREBI—This is a six-rowed, bearded, hulled barley 
adapted to irrigated conditions. At the Fort Co- 
lins Experiment Station it outyielded all other 
barleys in a six-year test. Though it is a rough 
awned variety it has the advantage over coast 
barley in that the awns thresh free from the grain, 
thus eliminating considerable danger in feeding. 
BALD OR HULLESS—tThreshes out like wheat, is 
beardless and equal in feeding value to corn. It is 
early and will make a grain crop in high altitude, 
and is excellent if cut for hay. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.00) (10 Ibs. $1.75). 
Oats 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry 
land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
COLORADO 37—A mid-season white oat simfilar to 
Swedish Select, except for fewer awns, higher 
yield and stiffer straw. Adapted to the irrigated 
sections of northern Colorado and the cooler re- 
gions of other sections. 
BRUNKER—A very early uniform variety of drought 
evading, smut resistant red oat. Well adapted to 
the non-irrigated plains area and high altitudes. 
Yielded 60 per cent nfore than Colorado 37 at the 
U. S. Dryland Field Sitation over an eight year 
period. 
BLISS SIDE—A selection from White Russian Side 
Oats, which produces an abundant quantity of oat 
hay in the mountain areas. 
MARKTON—A mid-season oat with long, slender 
to mtid-plump, yellowish white kernel, particular- 
ly adapted to warmer irrigated sections and is 
rapidly finding a place in northern Colorado where 
it is outyielding Colorado 37. 
VICTORY—Similar to Colorado 37 with heavier, taller 
straw. 
SWEDISH SELECT—A standard heavy yielding 
white oat. Hull is thin, kernel large and plump; 
straw is stiff and strong enough not to lodge. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.00) (10 Ibs. $1.75). 
Speltz or Spring Emmer 
Sow 40 to 50 pounds per acre on non-irrigated land; 60 
to 80 pounds on irrigated land. 
A. valuable grain belonging to the wheat family. 
Kernels are tightly enclosed in hulls which adhere 
at threshing. Speltz has a feeding value equal to 
oats, and only slightly less than barley and corn. 
It is extrem'ely rust ressitant, and will not lodge 
like other grains, because of its stiff heavy straw. 
Speltz can be grown on many kinds of soil, rich or 
poor. 
Its earliness and hardiness enables it to mature 
before the hot, dry weather comes on. It is a heavy 
yielder, often producing 75 to 100 bushels per acre 
under favorable conditions. 
Speltz makes wonderful feed and is especially fine 
for hogs and poultry.
