SEED SPRING WHEAT ROSEN and PETKUS have been the prominent 
THATCHER WHEAT. A new beardless, hard red 
spring wheat that yields at the Fort Collins Sta- 
tion about the same as Komar. It is adapted to 
irrigated conditions only and may replace Komar 
in this area. It is rust resistant. 
MARQUIS WHEAT is the standard, hard, red, 
spring wheat for irrigated sections of the West. 
It is early maturing and high yielding. It is 
beardless, short, stiff-strawed. 
REWARD WHEAT is a very new, high yielding, 
beardless, hard, red spring wheat for the dry- 
lands and non-irrigated areas. It has proven 
satisfactory under irrigated conditions where the 
water supply is limited. It shows promising for 
milling and baking. 
SEED BARLEY 
BALD or NEPAL BARLEY. An early variety that 
withstands drought remarkably well and ofttimes 
surviving when wheat fails. It has no beard and 
shells off its hulls the same as wheat. A very 
desirable crop for green feed or hay or for grain. 
LICO BARLEY is a smooth awned (without barbs 
on beards), six-rowed, hulled barley. It has less 
flinty kernels and is earlier and stiffer strawed 
than Trebi. Adapted to irrigated conditions. 
TREBI. Six-row, bearded, hulled barley with large, 
bluish kernels, and comparatively weak straw. 
The standard for irrigated sections of the stdte. 
BEECHER BARLEY is a new semi-smooth awned 
barley adapted to dry land. It is stiff strawed. 
Has a high bushel weight and outyielded Club 
Marioutt. It has replaced the older Flynn Pro- 
duction. 
CLUB MARIOUT BARLEY. A six-row, rough awned, 
hulled, early barley; particularly adapted to 
eastern Colorado non-irrigated plains section. 
Will yield one-third more than Trebi in its region 
of adaptation, and 70 per cent of Trebi under 
irrigation. Could be used to advantage on 
irrigated land with early water where only one 
irrigation is available. 
SPARTAN BARLEY. A two-rowed, smooth awned 
variety for dry lands. Inclined to shatter under 
combine conditions but has good bushel weight. 
It is a worthwhile kind for dry places. 
‘SEED RYE 
SPRING RYE is an excellent soiler and can be pro- 
duced on poor, worn out land under dry con- 
ditions where other grains would fail. It is 
useful as a cleaning crop for the purpose of 
eradicating wild oats. Makes early pasture and 
may be cut and cured for hay. When sown with 
vetch its value for pasture and hay is greatly 
enhanced. 
WINTER or FALL RYE serves a very useful purpose 
for pasture and hay. May be sown in spring 
and summer as well as fall. When Winter Rye 
is sown after frost it goes into the following 
season before maturing, making it a biennial. 
varieties of Fall Rye. 
BALBOA is an improved variety, producing grain 
and pasture in abundance. It is claimed that 
milk from cows pastured on Balboa Rye will not 
be tainted. 
SEED OATS 
BLISS SIDE OAT is a white side oat adapted to 
irrigated land. This variety is noted for its 
abundant yield of oat hay in the mountain areas. 
BRUNKER OATS are well adapted to dry land, 
being early maturing, smut and drought resisting. 
They are a red oat and were developed by the 
Akron Experiment Station. This variety sug- 
gested in place of Texas Red Rust Proof. It is 
the leading dry land oat. 
= 
FULTON OATS, generally known as a red oat, but 
the kernel is not as red as Kanota which it re- 
places. It is smut resistant, stiff strawed and 
early enough for mountain planting. 
BANNOCK OATS is a plump, smut-resistant, white, 
midseason variety that has produced higher 
yields than any other irrigated variety in Colo 
rado. It is a little earlier than Colorado 37 and 
the straw is finer but stiff. A limited amount of 
registered seed is available this year. 
COLORADO NO. 37 OATS. This oat is well adapted 
for irrigated areas of Colorado. It is a midseason 
white oat. It is characterized by its high yield; 
its straw and awnless kernels. 
VICLAND and VICTORY OATS. Similar to Colo. 
No. 37. 
MARKTON OATS. A medium sized white variety, 
smut resistant, that does well under irrigation 
in warm or hot localities.
