WISCONSIN PEDIGREE 
NO. 38 BARBLESS 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 originated at the Wis- 
consin Experiment Station m 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 qual- 
ity of the Oderbrucker with the smooth awn of 
this Russian barley. The result has been mar- 
velous, 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 retained. 
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 all 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, which 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.

MOORE BARLEY 
A new malting variety developed by the Wisconsin 
Agricultural Experiment Station in co-operation 
with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In tests 
it outyielded Wisconsin 88 and seemed to lodge 
less. It is a six-row, white, smooth awn variety 
with a moderately compact head. It is susceptible 
to leaf rust, stripe, loose smut and covered smut, 
but is moderately resistant to spot blotch and 
mildew. 
The very limited amount of seed produced in 
1948 will not take care of the demand, and if 
interested in seed we ask that you write for prices. 
Ample seed should be available after harvest 1949, 
and we suggest that you purchase your seed for 
1950 this fall. 
SPELTZ OR EMMER 
(Sow 100 to 125 pounds of seed to an acre.) 
Farmers ought to sow more speltz. It makes 
splendid feed and lots of it. Excellent balanced 
ground feed for horses, cattle or hogs. Its large 
hull gives it the 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.

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 bar- 
ley. It has doubled the yield of common barley 
and has been worth millions of dollars to Wis- 
consin farmers. 
It originated at the Wisconsin College of Agri- 
culture and was the result of 12 years of pains- 
taking breeding work. It still stands out above all 
previous varieties of bariey 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.

MONTCALM BARLEY 
An excellent malting barley produced by Pro- 
fessor E. O. Lods of McDonald College, Quebec, 
Canada. First released in 1945 to Canadian grow- 
ers. At the North Dakota Experiment Station it 
outyielded all other types of malting barley in 
tests conducted in 1945 and 1946. It is a six-row, 
smooth awn barley, and equal to other barley, in 
disease resistance, and strength of straw. It ma- 
tures ahead of Wisconsin 38 and shows a wide 
range of adaptability. As it is free stooling satis- 
factory stands are reported with 75 per cent of the 
customary rates of seeding. Shows less field loss 
from shattering and loss of heads, which is com- 
mon to some varieties of barley. Can be harvested 
on the early side and will make good quality grain.

CLIPPER SEED TREATER 
A new machine that treats your grain and operates 
fully automatic, requiring no power. Operates en- 
tirely by gravity. Will treat up to one hundred 
bushels per hour. Will pay for itself in a hurry by 
treating neighbors’ seed in spare time. See page 65 
for illustration and complete description.
