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, 
increased production per acre is the only way to get more profits. 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 
prices. SEE ITEM 190 ON LIST FOR QUOTATIONS.

wheat. It is very nutritious. The shucks cling to the two grains each carries. Grain =:

Speltz is one of the oldest grains known to mankind. Apparently it was grown in 
prehistoric times. German-Russian immigrants introduced it into the United States. 
The Speltz we have is for spring seeding. It is grown from Canada to Texas. Iowa, & 
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and states to the east are growing it as well asa 
Western states where drought conditions are most apt to prevail. 
Speltz is valuable as a nurse crop as it has very strong straw. It matures early. 
Sow 2% bu. per acre as early in the spring as possible. Cut before dead ripe. Thresh® 
about like Oats. See Item No. 202 on our Pink Price List. 5
