OLDS’ SEED GRAINS 
WISCONSIN W BRAND CERTIFIED SEED. This seed is grown 
from foundation stock obtained each year from the Wisconsin College 
of Agriculture. Field inspections are made by a representative of 
the Wisconsin Experiment Association and official samples are taken 
for laboratory test by the inspector. Seed must show a purity of 
99.5. There must be not more than one kernel per pound of other 
varieties or kinds of grains. No noxious weed seeds and not more 
than ten per pound of other weed seeds. Germination must be 90 
per cent or better. Foundation seed is seed produced on the station 
farm, The seed is officially tagged and sealed with the certified 
red W seed label by their representative and sold in full sealed 
bags only. These precautions are taken to safeguard the identity 
of the seed and to maintain high quality. 
STANDARD SEED. Our ‘‘Standard Seed’’ shows high purity and 
is nearly equal to the Certified Seed. Most of it is produced from 
Certified Seed. Used bags are furnished free.

(Sow 96 to 110 pounds to the acre.) 
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 
AO gaaebel 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 barley. 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 Qualities. It has gone way beyond ali 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, whicli 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 barley.

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. 38.

NEW IMPROVED CERESAN 
All seed grain, including resistant varieties such as Vicland 
Oats, should be treated with New Improved Ceresan for maxi- 
mum yields. For healthier and better stands treat all grain 
with New Improved Ceresan. 
It is a dry treatment which effectively kills certain seed- 
borne grain diseases by both contact and vapor. Recommended 
by most experiment stations. Inexpensive—one pound treats 
32 bushels of seed grain and frequently increases yields. Use 
New Improved Ceresan on— 
Barley—Usually controls seed-borne stripe, covered and 
black (not brown) loose smuts, and reduces seedling blight 
and root-rot. 
Oats—Generally controls loose and covered smuts and re- 
duces seedling blight and root-rot. 
Wheat—Usually controls seed-borne bunt or stinking smut, 
but not loose smut. It reduces seedling blight and root-rot 
losses; also smut dockage. 
Rye—Generally effective against scab seedling blight, stem 
smut and stinking smut. 
Sorghums—Checks loose and covered kernel smuts, 
Flax—Reduces damping!off and seed decay; 
good stands. 
Peas—Generally checks certain root-rots and seed rotting, 
helps insure good stands. One pound treats 16 bushels.

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.
