WHEAT 
* On irrigated lands, sow 60 to 75 pounds per acre; on dry land, 
40 to 50 pounds. 
MARQUIS—It is a very early: beardless, hard red spring wheat, 
very prodctive. It has higher milling and baking qualities 
than most varieties of spring wheat known today and will al- 
most always grade No. 1. Besides being about ten days earlier 
than most varieties of spring wheat it generally outyields 
them and has been known to produce 45 to 60 bushels per 
acre. As it is short stiff strawed, it is not likely to lodge and 
stands up well under irrigated conditions. The grain is plump 
and of a dark red appearance. 
THATCHER—A new beardless, hard red spring wheat, de- 
veloped in Minnesota. Rust resistant and equal in milling 
and baking qualities to Marquis. 
WINTER WHEAT—For Fall seeding, a hard, bearded winter 
wheat. Very prolific and stands cold and drought well. 
Prices quoted on request. 
OATS 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry land, 
40 to 50 pounds. ~ 
COLORADO 37—A mid-season white oat similar to Swedish 
Select, except for fewer awns, higher yield and stiffer straw. 
Adapted to the irrigated sections of northern Colorado and 
the cooler regions of other sections. 
BRUNKER—A very early uniform variety of drought evading, 
' smut resistant red oat. Well adapted to the non-irrigated 
plains area and high altitudes. Yielded 60 per cent more than 
Colorado 37 at the U. S. Dryland Field Station over an eight 
year period. : 
BLISS SIDE—A selection from White Russian Side Oats, 
which produces an abundant quantity of oat hay in the moun- 
tain areas. 
VICTORY—Similar to Colorado 37 with heavier, taller straw. 
SWEDISH SELECT—A standard heavy yielding white oat. 
Hull is thin, kernel large and plump; straw is stiff and strong 
enough not to lodge.

RYE 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre; on dry land, 
30 to 40 pounds. In ordering spring or fall rye, please note that 
we supply these spring or fall as they are supplied to us, but 
we cannot guarantee them to be such, as it is impossible to de- 
termine the variety from the appearance of the seed. 
FALL OR WINTER—This is the hardiest of any of the fall 
grains, and can be grown on a greater variety of soils. It will 
thrive in dry seasons and on light, sandy soil. It is grown for 
grain, for hay, for pasture and for plowing under for soiling 
purposes. There is no grain crop that produces as much and 
as good pasture as fall rye. If sown in August, makes a fine 
fall and winter pasture. Fall rye may also be sown in the 
spring, when it makes splendid summer pasture as it will not 
go to seed as does the spring rye.

BARLEY 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry land, 
40 to 50 pounds. 
BEECIIER—A semi-smooth awned barley that has outyielded 
Club Mariout or Flynn over 25 per cent at the U. S. Dryland 
Station at Akron. Also shows a better eae weight. Stiff 
strawed. Adapted to dryland conditions. 
LICO—This is a high yielding barley, very much like Trebi 
except that it is smooth awned. 
TREBI—tThis is a six-rowed, bearded, hulled barley adapted to 
irrigated conditions. At the Fort Colins Experiment Station 
it outyielded all other barleys in a six-year test. Though it is 
a rough awned variety it has the advantages over most 
barley in that the awns thresh free from the grain, thus 
eliminating considerable danger in feeding. 
BALD OR HULLESS—tThreshes out like wheat, is beardless 
and equal in feeding value to corn. It is early and will make 
a grain crop in high altitude, and is excellent if cut for hay.
