Supplies of Certified Mindos are very short, this being the first season that’ 
_ seed has been available for sale commercially. The Mindo was developed at 
the Minnesota station and is a selection from a cross of Bond x [(Mindota x 
White Russian) x Black Mesdag.] Bond is one of the Clinton lines, while 
#| Black Mesdag is resistant to stem rust. With these blood lines this selection 
_ is bound to be outstanding. Mindos are also resistant to Helminthasporium 
Blight, Race 8 stem rust and crown rust. 
fer AVERY EARLY MATURING 
- The Mindos are several days earlier than the Clinton and Benton, are 
somewhat shorter in height and stand up well for combining. They are 
adapted to ali the Mid-western Corn Belt area. The grain is plump, thin- 
“hulled and. light yellow in color. Yields are comparable to Clinton and Ben- 
ton. In a four year test in Minnesota, Mindo averaged 98.1 bu per acre. 
‘There are many years when an early maturing oat is very desirable. If 
| hot dry* weather prevails early in: the season Mindos will far surpass the 
larger late varieties. Grow Mindo this year for big profits by selling your 
|| crop for seed. :

MONTCALM BARLEY 
New Heavy Yielding Variety 
Montcalm Barley was first introduced into Canada in 1945. Last year it sold 
for as high as $15.00 per bushel in this country. Farmers were fast to realize 
the possibilities of this sensational new variety. Yields were unbelievably high and 
plant characteristics were far superior to other varieties.

_ erect, with a good stiff straw. It is considered as a medium-maturing variety,
