This is Velvet Type 
of Barbless Beards 
This type of barley was introduced a 
few years ago as one of the first types of 
barbless barley. Since that time the Wis- 
consin 38 type of barbless barley was de- 
veloped and is considered by many to be 
an improved type. This Velvet type took 
the place of the old Beardless Barley that 
was grown about twenty-two years ago. 
The Velvet type with barbless beards was a great improvement, as 
the beards protected the grain during early summer hot weather. 
Is a six row kind.

variety has come on the market. Barley is the heaviest producing small 
grain crop in the northern part of the United States. It yields more pounds
