BEARDLESS WHEAT 

THORNE is now the most popular 
wheat in Va., the Upper South and East. 
lt made the highest yield of any wheat 
in the Va. High Elevation Experiment 
Station tests and yielded 48.3 bu. per 
acre in a Williamsburg, Va., test. It 
made highest yields in West Va., and 
44.5 bu. per acre in a Penn. test. Tops 
at Clemson, S. C. 
NURED SMOOTH WHEAT 
An improved strain of Forward; same 
stiff straw, long full heads and big, 
plump grains, but more smut and rust 
resistant, higher yield and is replacing 
it. Highest in Penn. tests 6 years. At 
the top in Tenn. and Va. tests 4 years. 
Made a record of 49.2 bu. acre at Wil- 
liamsburg. Earlier, shorter, more rust 
resistant than Vahart. 
CHANCELLOR SMOOTH WHEAT 
A new high yielding Southern wheat, 
resisting both stem and leaf rust, with 
fair mildew resistance, strong straw, 
early maturing and more winter hardy 
than Atlas and other rust resisting 
wheats, outyielding them for two years 
in mountain tests in Va. and N. C. Rec- 
ommended in N. C., S. C., and Ga. 
VAHART SMOOTH WHEAT 
Va. recommends it for its long record 
of high yields, stiff straw, and resist- 
ance to mildew, cold and loose smut. A 
selection from Redhart made at V. P. I. 
it averaged 11.4 bu. per acre more at 
the Williamsburg experiment station, has 
taller, stronger straw, larger, plumper 
heads, more winter resistance and later 
maturity. Most Vahart is mixed. Ours 
is carefully field rogued. 
REDHART SMOOTH WHEAT—Scarce 
Earliest maturing wheat. Recom-) 
mended in S. C., N. C,, Piedmont and 
Coast and Western Ky. Short, strong 
straw. Resists storms and stem rust.

We Hot Water Treat Our Foundation Seed of 
Wheat and Barley to Prevent Smut. 
We are the largest Southern breeders and growers of small 
grain seed, growing 6,000 acres from the finest Registered or 
Certified stock. To avoid mixing in the drill or combine, only 
one variety of a crop is grown on any one farm. No crop is 
planted in a field where any other small grain was grown last 
All fields are carefully rogued. 
Associations closely inspect our breeding and production fields.

W. C. Johnson, King 
‘JT will plant no 
Calhoun Barley. 
Wim. Co., Va., says: 
other small grain but Calhoun barley, 
as it is so much more profitable. It 
made 75 bu. per acre to 14 for wheat 
and 50 for oats. It has extra large heavy 
heads and big plump grain. It has me- 
dium short, very stiff straw. Sown 2 
bu. per acre Dec. 23, it stood the winter 
and stooled to a perfect stand. I cut 
it and sowed soybeans 2 weeks before 
wheat and oats ripened.
