Gentlemen: 
Canon City, Colo. 
This is a high-yielding, stiff-strawed and disease-resist- 
ant variety of Barley. It is of hybrid origin, It is a wide, 
six-rowed, smooth-awned spring Barley. It has relatively 
thin hulls. The awns are rough at the top but break off 
very easy during thrashing or combining. The straw of 
Moore is thicker and stands_.up better than the average 
variety. The five-year test at Madison, Wisconsin, shows 
that it has outyielded the Wisconsin barbless by 6%, Oder- 
brucker by 12% and other tests show it is 39% over Oder- 
brucker, 28% over Kindred. It yielded 57.2 bushels in 
Wisconsin test. 
This Barley is no longer recommended for malting purposes but it 
still is a good feeding barley to grow in many areas. Under certain 
conditions the grain of this variety is a dull gray color and brewers 
and maltsters do not like this so well, therefore it may not bring 
the best price for a malting variety but it still is a good feed grain 
because it has a stiff straw, potentially a very high yielder under 
favorable conditions. Has resistance to stem rust, spot blotch, root 
rot and mildew. See Item 192 on price list for quotations. 
This is also one of the newer Barleys. It is a six-row, smooth-awned, 
spring Barley. The straw grows erect, it is fairly tall, the grain is of 
medium maturity. It ripens about two days ahead of the Wisconsin 
38 and has about the same length, straw. It has greater resistance to 
disease than most of the older varieties. It is this disease resistance in these new varieties that apparently is responsible for the increase 
in yields that are obtained, Montcalm is an accepted malting variety of Barley. This Barley seems adapted over a wide area, even in 
Central and Southern Iowa it outyielded many other top varieties, It also showed a two-pound heavier test weight per bushel. That in 
itself indicated the great value placed upon it by farmers who saw it growing. It is just as fine today. In these days of lower prices, 
It takes better seed to help you get these greater yields. Our heavy 
recleaned Montcalm Barley will help you get that job done. You will find such seed a wise and sound investment at our present low
