FULGHUM 
Oats 
A New, Early, and Heavy Yielding Oat. 
"The Kansas Agricultural Experiment 
Station has released for distribution a 
variety of oats, new to Kansas, which 
promises greatly to improve the oat crop 
of the state. Its rapid early growth in 
the spring, early maturity, ability to re- 
sist or survive late spring frosts, com- 
parative freedom from smut, and the high 
average yields secured are such as to 
support the belief that this variety will prove a 
valuable addition to the oat-growing sections 
of Kansas and possibly find a place in other 
states." Extract from Circular 91 of Kansas 
Agricultural Experiment Station. 
In 1916 there was found in some Oat tests at 
the Kansas Experiment Station one strain of 
oats which showed exceptional promise. In 1918 this 
oat was sent out to a selected list of farmers under the 
name of Kansas Fulghum. These trials showed it to 
be superior to other strains of oats and therefore in 
order to make it distinct from other varieties it was 
given the name of Kanota. 
The two characteristics which make Kanota especially valuable 
for Kansas are its earliness and its ability to yield large crops. 
In tests on the Agronomy farm Kanota has ripened on the aver- 
age of one week earlier than Red Texas, two days earlier than 
Kherson and one day earlier than Burt. Growers have uniformly 
reported Kanota to be from 7 to 10 days earlier than Red Texas. 
In sections where hot weather and midsummer droughts are common this 
early maturity is a tremendous advantage, especially when' combined with 
heavier yields. 
When Kanota was first tested by Kansas farmers in 1919 it outyielded other 
varieties, and the average difference between it and local Red Texas ^ was 1.5.3 bushels 
per acre. In 1920 tests were made in 24 counties with the result thafKanOta produced 
an average yield of 45 bushels per acre as compared with 38.3 bushels of other varieties. 
Wherever grown it has outyielded Red Texas from 5 to 15 bushels per acre. 
The grain of Kanota averages 5 pounds per bushel more than Red Texas and the plants 
of Kanota are slightly shorter. Kanota seems to be able to withstand spring freezes 
better than Red Texas but it will require further experiments to establish this as a fact. 
Will it pay you to plant Kanota? Figure it out for yourself. The seed will cost you 
from $1.50 to $2.00 per acre more than for common oats but your yield will be about 
10 bushels per acre more with no extra cost of labor except, for threshing. And then 
you will have plenty of seed for next year's planting. . - ■■■ 
. We should like to see every farmer sow a liberal acreage of Kanota but this will be 
impossible on account of the limited supply of the seed. We, therefore, suggest that you 
buy about 5 bushels of Kanota as this will produce enough seed for a large acreage the 
following season. . 
We have the genuine, certified Kanota. Owing to the unfavorable weather at harvest time the Kanota 
Oats are badly stained and of very poor appearance this season. The germination is high and . the dark 
appearance will not affect the crop. Order early as the supply is very, very limited. 
Price, per bushel, $1.35; 5 bushels or more, @ $1.30 per bushel, sacked, f. o. b. Lawrence.
