40 to 50 pounds. 
THATCHER—A new beardless, hard red spring wheat, de- 
veloped in Minnesota. Rust resistant and equal in milling 
and baking qualities to Marquis. 
WINTER WHEAT —For Fall seeding, a hard, bearded winter 
wheat. Very prolific and stands cold and drought well. 
Prices quoted on request. 
OATS 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry land. 
40 to 50 pounds. 
COLORADO 37—A mid-season white oat similar to Swedish 
Select, except for fewer awns, higher yield and stiffer straw. 
Adapted to the irrigated sections of northern Colorado and 
the cooler regions of other sections. 
BRUNKER—4A very early uniform variety of drought evading, 
smut resistant red oat. Well adapted to the non-irrigated 
plains area and high altitudes. Yielded 60 per cent more than 
Colorado 37 at the U. S. Dryland Field Station over an eight 
year period. 
SPELTZ OR EMMER 
A valuable grain belonging to the wheat family. Kernels are 
tightly enclosed in hulls which adhere at threshing. Speltz 
has a feeding value equal to oats, and only slightly less than 
barley and corn. It is extremely rust resistant and will not lodge 
like other grains because of its heavy stiff straw. Can be 
grown on any type soil. Makes wonderful feed and is especially 
fine for hogs and poultry. Sow about 80 lbs. per acre. 
RYE 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre; on dry land. 
30 to 40 pounds. In ordering spring or fall rye, please note that 
we supply these spring or fall as they are supplied to us, but 
we cannot guarantee them to be such, as it is impossible to de- 
termine the variety from the appearance of the seed. 
FALL OR WINTER —tThis is the hardiest of any of the fall 
grains, and can be grown on a greater variety of soils. It will 
thrive in dry seasons and on light, sandy soil. It is grown for 
grain, for hay, for pasture and for plowing under for soiling 
purposes. There is no grain crop that produces as much and 
as good pasture as fall rye. If sown in August, makes a fine 
fall and winter pasture. Fall rye may also be sown in the 
spring, when it makes splendid summer pasture as it will not 
go to seed as does the spring rye. 
SPRING RYE—Makes an excellent crop where winter grains 
have been killed or blown out or for sowing where a fall crop 
has not been planted. It is sown largely for early pasture 
and is often cut for hay. Sow seed same time as other spring 
grain. It does not grow quite as large straw as winter rye, 
but usually yields as well and the grain is of fine quality. 
BARLEY 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry land. 
40 to 50 pounds. 
BEECHER—A semi-smooth awned barley. that has outyielded 
Club Mariout or Flynn over 25 per cent at the U. S. Dryland 
Station: at Akron. Also: shows a, better bushel weight. HAL 
strawed.,-Adapted to dryland’ ‘eonditions. 
LICO—This is a high yielding barley, very much like Trebi 
except that it is smooth awned. 
TREBI—This is a six-rowed, bearded, hulled barley adapted to 
irrigated conditions. At the Fort Colins Experiment Station 
it outyielded all other barleys in a six-year test. Though it is 
a rough awned variety it has the advantages over most 
barley in that the awns thresh free from the grain, thus 
eliminating considerable danger in feeding. 
BALD OR HULLESS—tThreshes out like wheat, is beardless 
and equal in feeding value to corn. It is early and will make 
a grain crop in high altitude, and is excellent if cut for hay.

KOCHIA 
This hardy annual has recently been recommended as an 
excellent dry land forage crop, produces two crops of hay per 
season that is well liked by cattle, sheep and horses. The 
foliage is similar in appearance to that of Juniper Evergreens 
but is soft and very palatable, grows 15 to 24 inches high, very 
bushy producing an abundance of feed. Kochia is extremely 
drought resistant and will grow on any type of soil. It usually 
reseeds itself and maintains a good stand of plants for several 
years. Sow at the rate of 2 to 3 pounds per acre. Postpaid
