COTTSSH CHIEF 
OATS 
Beyond doubt the best variety known 
No other oat can approach it for yield, weight, 
size of grain, fine appearance, earliness, freedom 
from rust and smut, and adaptability to all soils and 
climates. The straw is exceedingly strong and 
wiry, enabling it to hold up its enormous heads of 
grain without breaking or lodging in the least, and 
is rust proof. The grain is of the largest size, full 
and plump, pure white and very heavy. It with- 
stands drought remarkably well, and is well fitted 
for all soils. 
Average yi^-'d.- of 100 bushels per acre under 
ordinary circumstances are common. 
Measured bushels of these oats invariably 
weigh 40 to 42 lbs. 
They have given Satisfaction Everywhere and 
Thousands of Farmers Throughout the Coun- 
try say that They Stand at the Head.

FRIMG WHEAT 
Oderbrucker Barley \ 
The Only Wheat Awarded a "Grand Prize" (the 
Highest Possible Award) at the World's Fair, St. Louis, 
in 1904. 
Wus first sent out by the Minnesota Experiment 
Station In 1902, ten years after being started from a 
single seed of Blue Stem. During that time it was 
carefully grown and watched, and ' the greatly in- 
creased yield at all times o\er the parent varieties 
encouraged the growers to foster the crop until a 
sufficient quantity should be secured to make an ex- 
tensive and thorough trial of it in all sections of the 
state. These trials produce tremendous results, the 
average yield of it being 18 per cent, more than any 
other sort on the 'same soil. Its milling and bak- 
ing qualities have been thoroughly tested and found 
equal to the best of the older and well-known sorts 
generally grown in the large wheat producing sections.

good location, but eighty-five to ninety days places it out of danger under 
average conditions. A variety of corn which will show such valuable charac- 
teristics is an acquisition on any farm, especially for planting in the Northwest
