MARETT’S PEDIGREED 
CALHOUN BARLEY STRAIN 3 
1949 BREEDER FOUNDATION STOCK 
Calhoun Barley has an excellent record of production. Results of Ex- 
periment Station test and reports on farm plantings for the past several 
years show that Calhoun yields with the best. 
Calhoun was developed for combine harvesting on lands of higher 
fertility, where lodging with other varieties has been severe. Although, 
Calhoun normally has a relatively short straw on better soil it will attain 
full height. We recommend shallow seeding at the rate of two (2) bushels 
per acre. 
Hot water treating of seed used for increase is helping to control 
Brown loose smut of barley, which has been one of the principal diseases 
affecting this variety.
