OLDS’ SEED BARLEY 
(Sow 96 to 110 pounds to the acre.) 
ODERBRUCKER 
A mid-season six row malting barley which 
originated at the Wisconsin College of Agri- 
culture Many years ago, it still holds its 
place as a leading malting variety. Straw is 
medium in height and strength and the heads 
are large. Moderately resistant to spot bloteh 
disease but susceptible to stripe, scab, stem rust, 
mildew and smut diseases.

L OR KINDRED 
The L or Kindred is a six rowed, rough awn, 
white kernel, malting barley originating in the 
Dakotas. It is earlier than Oderbrucker and 
yields more but has a weaker straw, Resistant to 
stem rust, moderately resistant to spot blotch 
but susceptible to leaf stripe, mildew, scab and 
smut. The performance and quality are very 
satisfactory both for feeding and malting pur- 
poses.

BUCK WHEAT 
Sow buckwheat from June 10 to July 10, one 
bushel (50 Ibs.) per acre. 
Buckwheat vields heaviest on well drained 
sandy loam soils, but will also give fair results 
on soils too poor for most other crops. It 
matures in about seventy days and ripens best 
in the cool weather of early fall. Therefore, 
June and July plantings in the North are most 
satisfactory. The Japanese type of buckwheat 
is more vigorous, withstands more drought, and 
produces better yields than the Common. 
JAPANESE. Large, of dark brown 
Higher in market than Common.

MOORE 
Developed by the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- 
tion co-operating with the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture. Superior in yield and _ stiffness 
of straw but not recommended as a malting 
barley. It is mid-season in maturity and is 
medium tall, Moderately resistant to stem rust, 
spot blotch and mildew but is susceptible to 
leaf rust, stripe and smut. More resistant to 
lodging than Oderbrucker. Kernels are long and 
the hulis 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. Re- 
quires a soil of medium or good fertility.

MONTCALM 
A_ six row, smooth awn barley originating 
at McDonald College, Quebec, Canada. It is 
stronger strawed and yields somewhat more than 
L or Kindred. Moderately resistant to spot 
blotch, moderately susceptible to stripe. Has 
intermediate reaction to covered smut and is 
susceptible to stem rust, mildew, scab and loose 
smut. Shows less field loss from shattering and 
loss of heads which is common to some varieties 
of barley. May be harvested on the early side 
and will make good quality grain.

SPRING RYE 
(Sow 70 to 98 pounds to the acre.) 
Spring Rye is a valuable crop and should be 
more largely sown. 
First. It can be sown late in the spring, later 
than other Spring grain. 
Second. It is a splendid nurse crop for clover, 
as the crop is harvested early. 
Third. It does well on nearly all soils and can 
be grown on very pocr land. 
Fourth. It is a sure cropper, producing or- 
dinarily 30 to 40 bushels per acre.

SPRING WHEAT 
(Sow 90 to 120 pounds to the acre.) 
HENRY 
Developed by Prof R. G. Shands in a co- 
operative grain-breeding project of the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station and the U. S, Department 
of Agriculture. It is highly resistant to leaf 
rust, the most serious disease of wheat in Wis- 
consin, Also quite resistant to black stem rust 
and to bunt or stinking smut. Im tests in the 
last three years, Henry outyielded Sturgeon, 
Wisconsin’s highest yielding Spring wheat up to 
that time, by 23%. Henry is a bearded Spring 
wheat with large wide heads. The straw is mod- 
erately stiff and about as tall as Sturgeon and 
will ripen along with Marquis wheat or about five 
days later than Vicland oats. The kernels are 
medium red in color, slightly softer in texture 
than Marquis and larger than any other Spring 
wheat. It is primarily a feed wheat, but it is 
also satisfactory for baking.

Emmer or Speltz. 
SPELTZ OR EMMER 
(Sow 100 to 125 pounds of seed to an acre.) 
Farmers ought to sow more speltz. It makes 
splendid feed and lots of it. Excellent balanced 
ground feed for horses, cattle or hogs. Its large 
hull gives it the lightness of oats while the 
double kernels furnish a rich meal much like 
ground rye feed. It is adapted to dry regions, is 
hardy, yields heavy and stands up well.
