SEED WHEAT 
MARQUIS WHEAT is the standard, hard, 
red, spring wheat for irrigated sections 
of the West. It is early maturing and 
high. yielding. It is beardless, short, 
stiff-strawed. 
KOMAR WHEAT is the name given to 
a bearded hard red spring wheat, 
produced by crossing 
Kota and Marquis at the 
North Dakota Experiment 
Station. After experimen- 
tal trials at the Fort Col- 
lins and Fort Lewis sta- 
tion under irrigation and 
at the U. S. Dryland Sta- 
tion near Akron, this va- 
riety has been released 
as standard for Colorado 
on both irrigated and non- 
irrigated land. 
REWARD WHEAT is a very 
new, high yielding, beard- 
less, hard, red spring 
wheat for the drylands 
and non-irrigated areas. 
It has proven satisfactory 
under irrigated. conditions 
where the water supply 
is limited. It shows prom- 
ising for milling and bak- 
ing. 
THATCHER WHEAT. A new 
beardless, hard red spring 
wheat that yields at the 
Fort Collins Station about 
the same as Komar. It is 
adapted to irrigated conditions only and may 
replace Komar in this area. It is rust resistant. 
ED 
SPELTZ or SPRING EMMER resembles barley and 
wheat. Is of rapid growth and ripens early. 
Withstands more drought and unfavorable soil 
and weather conditions than most grains. 
BUCKWHEAT does best where the climate is moist 
and cool, but it is sensitive to cold. It is a short 
season, early-maturing crop. It can be sown 
quite late. It is a good crop for poor, thin land, 
and does well on acid soils. It is used as a soil- 
age crop. 
COWPEAS are very useful for hay, fodder, and 
soilage crops. They produce a long vine, usually 
6 feet long, making a large yield of both hay 
and peas. 
SOUTHERN BLACK-EYED PEAS resemble beans in 
shape, make a large vine growth and are an 
excellent soil improver. The peas make a most 
desirable and healthful table dish and are in 
great demand during the winter. They are also 
used green during the summer.

SEEDS 
SEED BARLEY 
BALD or NEPAL BARLEY. An early va- 
riety that withstands drought remark- 
ably well and ofttimes surviving when 
wheat fails. It has no beard and shells 
off its hulls the same as wheat. A very 
desirable crop for green feed or hay 
or for grain. 
LICO BARLEY is a smooth 
awned (without barbs or 
beards), six-rowed, hulled 
barley. It has less flinty 
kernels and is earlier and 
stiffer strawed than Trebi. 
Adapted to irrigated con- 
ditions. 
TREBI. Six-row, bearded, 
hulled barley with large, 
bluish kernels, and com- 
paratively weak straw. 
The standard for irrigated 
sections of the state. 
BEECHER BARLEY is a new 
semi-smooth awned bar- - 
ley adapted to dry land. 
It is stiff strawed. Has 
outyielded Club Mariout 
and Flynn and shows a 
higher bushel weight. 
CLUB MARIOUT BARLEY. 
A six-row, rough awned, 
hulled, early barley; par- 
ticularly adapted to east- 
earn Colorado non-irrigat- 
ed plains section. Will 
yield one-third more than 
Trebi in its region of adap- 
tation, and 70 per cent of 
Trebi under irrigation. Could be used to advan- 
tage on irrigated land with early water where 
only one irrigation is available. 
FLYNN. A six-row, smooth awned barley yielding 
about the same as Club Mariout. The smooth 
awned or thinner hull has increased its popu- 
larity in the plains area and in other non-irrigated 
sections of the state. 

COLORADO STOCK or SAN LUIS VALLEY FIELD 
PEAS are valuable for their grain and straw. 
_They provide good forage and hay and are valu- 
able as a soilage crop. They are also excellent 
as a nurse crop for alfalfa. When sown for. 
seed about 80 pounds per acre is necessary, 
but for hay may be sown at the rate of 100 
pounds per acre and as late as July. 
SAND, WINTER or HAIRY VETCH is a mighty fine 
crop to sow in the fall as soon as the crops have 
been harvested. It has also been sown in the 
spring. Vetch is a legume plant like alfalfa and 
peas. It produces hay of high protein value and 
is also a good soilage crop; also introduces . 
nitrogen into the soil the same as alfalfa and 
clovers.
