This is the new sensational barley that sold last year 
for as high as $12.00 per bushel. You can buy it from us 
this year at less than one-fourth that price. There is still 
good money in growing it. It is a big yielder and you 
should be able to get premium price for seed in many sec- 
tions. 

In a three-year official test in northern Iowa it out- 
yielded all other varieties in this test. In central and 
southern Iowa it alse outyielded those great varieties like 
Wise. 38, Odessa, Mars, Kindred, and Peatland. It also 
showed a 2-pound per bushel heavier test weight there. 
This is a six-row, smooth awn spring barley. The straw 
grows erect, fairly tall and the grain is of medium matur- 
ity. It ripens two days ahead of the Wisc. 38 and has 
about the same length of straw. It has greater resistance 
to disease than many of the older varieties. That may be 
one of the reasons for its superiority. 
It is an accepted malting variety. The tremendous. de- 
mand for this Barley is clear proof of its profit features. 
We urge you to grow some. See Item 190 on our Pink 
Price List,

smooth awns or beards like the Wis. 38. 
Barley is a great grain to put in swill for hog feed. Its big yields 
of large kernels make it a fine profit grain. Resists drought and dis- 
ease.. We don’t know of a feeding barley that will 
excel it. SeeItem No. 193 on Price List.
