WISCONSIN PEDIGREE NO. 38 BARBLESS 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 originated at the Wisconsin Experiment Station in 1916 when a black, 
smooth awn barley from southern Russia was crossed with Oderbrucker. The object was to combine 
the yield, stiffness of straw, light color and high quality of the Oderbrucker with the smooth awn of 
this Russian barley. The result has been marvelous, for not only has a smooth awn been secured but 
the yield of the Oderbrucker has been greatly increased while all of the other good qualities have been 
retained. THE VALUABLE FEATURES OF WISCONSIN BARBLESS ARE: 
First—Smooth Beards. This makes the barley nice to handle. Some farmers say they would just 
as soon handle this barley as to handle oats. 
Second—Resistance to Hot Weather. This barley is from three to five days later than Oderbrucker 
and other rough bearded parley. This is not an objection but an advantage as it simply adds to the 
maturity period producing a larger kernel than the earlier varieties. 
Third—Heavy Yielding Quaiities. It has gone way beyond all others in yield. In the southern counties 
the yields have been shooting up as high as 80 bushels per acre, machine measure. 55 and 60 seem 
quite common, which is easily a gain of one-fourth to one-third over the rough barley. 
It has shown itself much more resistant to stripe disease than any other parley.

WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY (Rough Bearded Oderbrucker) 
(Wisconsin Pedigree 5-1) 
Wisconsin Pedigree Barley has for years held its place as the leading variety of six-rowed barley. 
It has doubled the yield of common barley and has been worth millions of dollars to Wisconsin farmers. 
It originated at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture and was the result of 12 years of pains- 
taking breeding work. It still stands out above all previous varieties of barley for heavy yield, plump 
grain, stiff straw, large heads and great feeding value. Some of our growers think it yields better 
than the new Wisconsin No. 3

“L” OR KINDRED BARLEY 
The ‘‘L’’ Barley, also called Kindred, origi- 
nated in the Dakotas several years ago. It was 
selected from a single outstanding head of the 
rough awned six-row type. This barley resembles, 
stands up, and yields alwut equal to the Oder- 
brucker variety and is a few days earlier than 
the Wisconsin No. 38. The performance and qual- 
ity is very satisfactory both for feeding and malt- 
ing purposes, adaptable for growing in territories 
and on soils where barley may be grown.

SPELTZ OR EMMER 
(Sow 100 to 125 pounds of seed to an 
acre.) 
Farmers ought to sow more Speltz. It 
makes splendid feed and lots of it. Excel- 
lent balanced ground feed for horses, cat- 
tle or hogs. Its large hull gives it the 
lightness of oats while the double. kernels 
furnish a rich meal much like ground rye 
feed. It is adapted to dry regions, is 
hardy, yields heavy and stands up well.
