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 Agri- 
culture. It was named in honor of the late Prof. R. A. Moore, who 
was one of the pioneers of barley improvement in the United States. 
The seed was first released to the seed growers in Wisconsin for repro- 
duction 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. 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. 
Tt is moderately resistant to stem rot, powdery mildew, helmintho- 
sporium sativun, but is susceptible 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. Barb- 
less 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.

_ OLDS’ SEED GRAINS 
WISCONSIN W BRAND CERTIFIED SEED. This seed is grown 
from foundation stock obtained each year from the Wisconsin College 
of Agriculture. Field inspections are made by a representative of 
the Wisconsin Experiment Association and official samples are taken 
for laboratory test by the inspector. Seed must show a purity of 
99.5. There must be not more than one kernel per pound of other 
varieties or kinds of grains. No noxious weed seeds and not more 
than ten per pound of other weed seeds. Germination must be 90 
per cent or better. Foundation seed is seed produced on the station 
farm, The geed is officially tagged and sealed with the certified 
red W seal label by their representative and sold in full sealed bags 
only. These precautions are taken to safeguard the identity of the seed 
and to maintain high quality. 
STANDARD SEED. Our ‘‘Standard Seed’’ shows high purity 
and is nearly equal to the Certified Seed, Most of it is produced 
from Oertified Seed. Used bags are furnished free.

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 barley. It has doubled the yield of common barley 
and has been worth millions of dollars to Wisconsin farmers. 
It originated at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture and was the 
result of 12 years of painstaking 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.

WISCONSIN PEDIGREE No. 38 BARBLESS 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 originated at the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- 
tion 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 quality of the Oderbrucker with the smooth 
awn of this Russian barley. The result has been marvelous, for not only 
has a smooth awn been secured but the yield of the Oderbrucker has been 
greatly increased while all of the other good qualities have been retained.

MONTCALM BARLEY 
An excellent malting barley produced by Professor EK. O. Lods of 
McDonald College, Quebee, Canada. First released in 1945 to Canadian 
growers. 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 barley, in disease 
resistance, and strength of straw. It matures ahead of Wisconsin 38 
and shows a wide range of adaptability. As it is free stooling satisfac- 
tory 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 common to some varieties of barley. Can be harvested on the early 
side and will make good quality grain.

Treat All Grain With Ceresan M 
Regardless of the variety of grain you plant, 
seed should be treated with Ceresan M to help 
control loose and covered smuts, and to reduce 
seedling blight and root rot. See page 66.
