Most Productive Varieties of Oats. — Among the most productive kinds of oats 

 ■which have been grown for several years at this farm the following varieties deserve 

 special mention : Twentieth Century, White Giant, Garton's Abundance, Thousand 

 Dollar and Banner among the white varieties. One or more of these kinds can be 

 obtained from any good seedsman. Golden Beauty and Mennonite are very produc- 

 tive yellow oats, but do not seem to possess any points of superiority over the best 

 white varieties. Among the black oats Excelsior and Pioneer, comparatively new 

 varieties, have given large yields, but not so large as the most productive white sorts. 



Earliest Varieties of Oats. — The varieties called Sixty Day and Early Ripe are 

 extremely early in ripening, but cannot be recommended to take the place of the later, 

 standard sorts. Selections from these two varieties are now being propagated in 

 order to obtain types of fixed character. These may be useful in certain special cases.
