A New 



OAT 



"Mortgage 

 Lifter" 



T 



HIS variety was 

 originally imported from 

 America and grown m 

 South Australia, where results 

 proved so satisfactory that the original grower 

 preserved the seed from his first crop and has grown 

 it with every success during the past few seasons. 

 This new Oat grows to a height of 6 feet, and has 

 yielded from 90 to 100 bushels to the acre. It is 

 also considered a good Hay Oat. A client of ours 

 stated that he grew "Mortgage Lifter" Oat last 

 year, and averaged over 50 bushels to the acre, 

 whereas with other varieties he only averaged 30 

 bushels to the acre. 10/- bushel; 9/6 per bushel 

 in sack lots ; 9/- per bushel in 5-sack lots or more.
