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. 8. 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. 
It 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 outyieldod 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.

“L” OR KINDRED BARLEY 
The ‘‘L’’ Barley, also called Kindred, originated in the 
Dakotas several years ago. It was selected from a single 
outstanding head of the rough awned six-row type. This barley 
resembles, stands up, and yields about equal to the Oder- 
brucker variety. The performance and quality is very satis- 
factory both for feeding and malting purposes, adaptable for 
growing in territories and on soils where barley may be grown.

Tees 
~ 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 seed 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 Certified 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.

MONTCALM BARLEY 
An excellent malting barley produced by Professor E, O. Lods of 
McDonald College, Quebec, 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 388 
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.

DU PONT’S SEED DISINFECTANTS PROTECT SEED AND INCREASE YIELDS 
DU PONT ARASAN 
An effective dry seed disinfectant and protectant for destroying many 
surface seed-borne organisms and protecting the seed against certain 
soil-borne organisms responsible for seed decay. Usually improves stand 
of seedling and frequently increases yield of quality crops. Prices: 
‘4-02. pkg., 25c; 8-0z. can, $1.00; 2-lb. can, $3.20, postpaid, By freight 
or express f, 0, b. Madison: 10 lbs., $11.50. 
DU PONT DUSTLESS ARASAN SF-X 
This is Du Pont’s newest formulation of ‘‘Arasan,’’ which is recom- 
mended for such crops as Corn, Sorghums, Peanuts, Vegetables, Grasses, 
and Legumes. This new material is dustless and can be used either in 
: the slurry type treater or seed blender. It is economical 
to use, adheres well and is not injurious to seed even when 
used excessively. Flying dust is eliminated both when 
treating the seed, and repackaging or handling treated 
seed. Arasan SI-X goes into suspension readily and will 
resuspend quickly and easily. Farmers will find that seed 
treated with this new product has good plantability 
without the use of any lubricants and will be dust-free 
when planting. The recommended rates are as follows: 
Hybrid corn, % ounce per bushel; sweet corn, 144 ounees 
per 100 Ilbs.; sorghums, 1% ounces per bushel; soy beans 
and peas. 1 ounce per bushel; grasses and legumes, % 
lb. per 100 Ibs. of seed. Prices, by freight or express 
f. 0. b. Madison: 25-lb. drum, $45.00; 100 lbs., $172.50.

DU PONT CERESAN M 
The latest and best seed disinfectant for grains from the Du Pont 
Semesan laboratories. It can be used either as a dust or as a liquid in 
an approved type slurry treater. It is easier to use than the old Im- 
proved Ceresan, and reduces the hazard of skin irritation to those using 
it. It is also practically odorless. 
Ceresan M protects the crop against many important diseases caused 
by organisms carried on the seed and in the soil. Generally controls 
covered smut, black loose smut and stripe of barley; oat smuts, and 
when seed-borne, the new oat blight (Helminthosporium blight); stem 
and covered smuts of rye; loose and covered kernel smuts of sorghums; 
seed-borne stinking smut and scab seedling blight of wheat: and reduces 
infections arising from surface seed-borne anthracnose. It also usually 
reduces decay and damping-off of seed grains, flax, peas, and sugar beets, 
improving stands and yields. Will not reduce planting 
rate or damage drill. Ceresan is easily applied to the 
seed with a Seed Treater. The treating of your seed 
grain is not an expense, but an investment. Just a few 
cents an acre can assure you better returns, better 
quality, and up to 20 per cent higher yields. Prices: 
14-0z. can (treats 28 bu.), $1.25; 3-lb. can, $3.55, 
postpaid. By freight or express f. 0. b. Madison: 40-lb. 
drum, $35.85; 100 lbs., $85.00. Sizes and prices sub- 
ject to change.
