WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY 
NO. 38 BARBLESS 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 originated at the Wis- 
consin Experiment Station in 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 has been greatly increased. It is about 
five days later than Oderbrucker. but generally out- 
yields it. It is resistant to hot weather and it is 
nice to handle because of its smooth beards. Not as 
good a malting variety as the Oderbrucker or the 
new Moore.

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 barley for heavy yield, plump 
grain, stiff straw, large heads and great feeding 
value. Some of our growers think it yields better 
than the Wisconsin No, 38. :

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.

A Field of New Moore Barley. 
MOORE BARLEY 
A superior variety of barley developed at the 
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station in co- 
Operation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
It was named in honor of the late Prof. R. A. 
Moore, who was one of the pioneers of barley im- 
provement in the United States. The seed was first 
released to the seed growers in Wisconsin for re- 
production in 1948, It is of hybrid origin involving 
three separate parents, Wisconsin Barbless, Chevron, 
and Olli, which is an early variety of malting barley 
introduced from Finland. Tests indicate that Moore 
malts well with quality similar to Oderbrucker and 
better than Wisconsin Barbless. Moore is a white, 
six rowed, smooth awn, spring variety, with a 
moderately compact head, and long wide spreading 
awns. It matures about the same time as Wisconsin 
Barbless, and is about the same in height. The 
straw is thicker and stands up better after maturity. 
It is more resistant to lodging than either Wisconsin 
Barbless or Oderbrucker. The kernels are long and 
the test weight tends to be slightly above Wisconsin 
Barbless. The hulls of Moore are thinner and stick 
tighter to the kernel with the result that there is 
less skinning during threshing. The awns are rough 
at the tip and break off easily in the threshing. 
It is moderately resistant to stem rot, powdery 
mildew, helminthosporium sativun, but is suscepti- 
ble to loose smut and covered smut, and moderately 
susceptible to scab. In yields over. a five year test 
period from 1944 to 1948 it outyielded by 6 per cent 
Wisconsin Barbless and 12 per cent Oderbrucker, 
having an average yield in a four year test of 57.02 
bushels per acre. It appears that it is better adapted 
to soils of medium or good fertility than to soils 
of low fertility. Should be sown at the rate of four 
to six pecks to the acre.

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 bartey, 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.
