BARLEY 
Forty-eight pounds to the bushel. Two bushels per acre. 
The value of Barley for winter pasturage has not been generally 
recognized, but many Southern dairymen have adopted it as one 
of their main crops for this purpose, using it also for hay. If 
intended to be cured for hay, the head should not be allowed 
to form. Sowings are made both in spring and fall. 
Yields well, and ripens a little earlier than Wong. 
CALHOUN. A stiff strawed hybrid, this variety shows resistance 
to Mildew and Barley Stripe, and to some races of loose smut.

generally as smooth headed. (Write for prices.) 
WONG. A semi-bearded six-rowed barley of exceptional merit. 
It has a strong stiff straw, with upright heads, making

preparation and is a good crop to smother weeds or for bees. It 
also makes good flour.
