“WONG” BARLEY 
Three years have proved it! To be free from ‘damage by 
brown loose smut in your barley crop, sow this Hoffman first- 
generation seed grown from hot-water-treated foundation seed. 
Whether you grow barley for feed or a5 a money crop, all signs 
say that next July’s harvest will have extra value. When that 
time comes, you won't want to be writing off 15% to 20% of 
your potential harvest to that crop robber, brown loose smut. 
You can act now to be sure this won't happen. You can figure 
on those EXTRA 8, 10 or more bushels ahead of time. Just sow 
this first-generation seed from Hoffman hot-water-treated founda- 
tion stock. 
Years of experience have proved this is the only way to guard 
against such losses—and this low-cost insurance ts paying 
Hoffman customers a BIG profit every year. 
HOW THIS SEED PROTECTS YOU 
Here’s how this special seed is prepared for you. July a year 
ago, Hoffman selected top-quality Wong barley from heavy 

yielding crops. This seed was given a positive-control, hot-water 
treatment that kills the spread of brown loose smut. 
This foundation seed was then grown under Hotfman super- 
vision. The crop from this foundation, harvested thts July, 1s the 
first-generation seed we are offering you now. Does this treat- 
ment work? Look at the record! Not. one Hoffman Wong seed 
field offered for certification has been rejected on account of smut. 
Thousands of bushels of this Hoffman first-generation seed have 
been sowed in the past two years—most of them in heavily smut- 
infested areas. In all the check-ups we have been able to make, 
there hasn't been a single case where brown loose smut has im- 
paired a crop. “One smut head in 40,000.” “Couldn't find any.” 
“Pulled two heads in the whole field’’—that’s the way reports 
have been running. 
Here’s assurance to you that you can get all that this great 
Wong variety has to offer you. Its ability to make BIG crops. 
provide more feed than other winter grain—feed that ranks high 
(next to corn) in value. Its freedom from the vexing beards 
of other varieties. Its thick pencil-like straw—ihai stands up for 
combining. And remember—the foundation for seed Hoffman 
offers you was selected from vigorous stands. Remember, too, 
this Hoffman seed has been thoroughly cleaned—v?’s all good 
seed. 
Calls for this Hoffman first-generation Wong seed exhausted 
supplies early last year. This year’s total supply 1s not nearly as 
large—will not meet the demand. Folks who have been in the 
habit of preparing their fields and then calling for the seed are 
sure to be disappointed this year. Don’t wait till planting time. 
Order your seed now. See price list, back page. 
Read what experience has taught folks 
who issued the three statements re- 
printed below: 
“An objectionable amount of loose smut 
may sometimes persist after seed is 
treated with New Ceresan, for one of the 
three kinds of smut that cause trouble 
can be controlled only by the hot- 
water method."’ 
IMinois Experiment Station 
Bulletin 420. 
“Considering all varieties of barley, the 
hot-water treatment gives the best cen- 
trol of this smut.”’ 
Cornell Extension Bulletin 157. 
‘The covered smut and the black loose 
smut are controlled by dusting the 
bartey seed with disinfectant chemicals. 
The brown loose smut may be controlled 
only by the hot-water treatment."’
