For years we have been looking for the right combination of grain for 
an ideal mixture. We now have two varieties which mature at the same time. 
One of the best ways to cut down on expenses and increase your profits is to 
grow some of this mixture. It runs about 30% barley, and grain from this 
seed can be ground and used for 50% or more of your feeding mixture. You 
can thus cut your feed bills in half. 
Price—$5.95 per cwt., f.o.b., Cortland, N. Y. Bags free. 
Alpha Barley 
This is one of the very best grains to use as a nurse crop for either clover 
or alfalfa as it does not require so much moisture for heavy straw development. 
It has a good stiff straw, and will not smother out young seeding. <A’ better 
catch of seeding usually results on land cropped heavily, as is the case with 
cabbage ground, if barley is used as a nurse crop. 
YIELD RECORDS 
Alpha Barley averaged 42.9 bushels per acre for seven years grown in 
several different New York counties. It outyielded all the other improved 
strains. Beardless and barbless varieties did not yield within 3 to 11 bushels 
as much. 
CERTIFIED SEED—-SMUT FREE 
Our crop this year was grown from hot water treated seed and is nearly 
100% free of smut. This is a good opportunity to change your seed. 
Price—52.707per bu. of 48 1bs., f.o.b., Cortland, N. Y. Jute bags free. 
Double sacking 10c per bu. extra. Our seed was grown from certified stock and 
is unusually nice. (no mustard on our Farm.) 

Correct Seed Treatment “xsteace. 
INOCULATION — It pays to inoculate 
your clover, alfalfa and soybeans. Inoc- 
ulating a crop helps the plants put nitro- 
gen into your soil. This not only in- 
creases your hay or cover crop but also 
helps the crops the next year. 

CERESAN — For 
oats, wheat and bar- 
ley — controls smut 
— use only % oz. 
per bu. of seed. 
Price: 4 oz. 35c; 1
