a 

Montcalm Barley was first released for sale in this country last year and seed at 
that time sold for as high as $15.00 per bushel. We did not handle it at that time 
because of the prohibitive price. Montcalm was first introduced in Canada in 1945 
and was developed by the McDonald College at Quebec. It was enthusiastically accepted and 
its potentialities were immediately realized by Canadian farmers. Yields were almost unbe- 
lievably high and the plant characteristics were far Superior to other varieties. As a result it 
took three years to increase the stocks of Certified seed sufficiently to supply the demand at a 
reasonable price. Requirements for certification of small grains in Canada are exacting so you 
can be assured that you are getting the best seed available when you buy this seed. 
Characteristics 
Montcalm is a six-row, smooth awned, spring’ variety. Its growth is tall and erect, with a 
good stiff straw. It is considered a medium-maturing variety ripening a day or two earlier 
than Wisconsin 38 Test weights of the grain are usually heavier than most other varieties. 
It seems to be very well adapted to any area where barley is produced. 
Extra Heavy Yields 
At Fargo, North Dakota, in state supervised tests Montcalm outyielded all other varieties 
tested in a most emphatic manner. Included in these tests were such varieties as Odessa, Wis- 
consin 38, Kindred and others. A recent publication by the Dominion Department of Agricul- 
ture at Ottawa, Canada, states that Montcalm is higher-yielding than the O.A.C. 21 strain, yet is 
equal in value as a malting variety. Its resistance to disease makes it even more desirable 
than O.A.C. 21 and other older varieties. 
We only have a few hundred bushel of this fine certified seed on hand so early orders will be 
filled as received. The demand will exceed the supply again this year. We strongly urge our 
customers to buy certified seed on all new varieties, regardless of whether it is small grain, 
grasses or legume crops. .You are assured of getting genuine varieties in this way. Our prices 
on CERTIFIED Montcalm are: 1 to 10 bu., $3.60 bu.; 11 to 21 bu., $3.55 bu.; 21 bu. or more, $3.50 bu.
