ROYAL BANNER OAT 
Harvesting An Immense Crop 
This section of the field is where oats followed potatoes in crop rotation and only 
200 lbs. of commercial fertilizer of low grade was applied in sowing to oats. Just as 
fast as one sheaf was kicked from the binder the next sheaf was ready to bind, in fact, 
the sheaves followed each other so rapidly that many were tangled together. 
The crop was grown on a corner field with public highway on two sides and the 
quality of the crop was remarked upon by all who passed by. 
“What kind of oats are those?” 
“I want some of those oats for seed no matter what the price,” 
is what we heard constantly from persons passing, who were interested in growing oats, 
and who stopped to make inquiry. 
NOTICE THE POSSIBILITIES of an oat crop grown on irrigated land as given below : 
The secretary of the Commercial Club of La Conner, Wash., reports that oats in that locality have yielded 
153 bus. per acre. These are exceptional cases but should encourage all oat growers to use good seed and cultivation 
to obtain the largest yields possible. 
According to the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture report on the oats crop for 1916, the 
average yield was 30 bushels per acre and in the same report, one grower in Colorado, 
by irrigating grew 142 bushels per acre. With an average as low as 30 bushels per acre, 
thousands of crops were harvested which barely paid cost of fitting the ground. 
BIG CROPS PAY 
Fit your ground thoroughly and then sow some of our new ROYAL BANNER 
OATS, and your yield will be FAR ABOVE THE AVERAGE of your neighborhood. 
The extra bushels mean so much clear profit. 
WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT SEED OATS WE HAVE SOLD THEM 
Cattaraugus Co., N. Y. The weather was bad here for oats last year. My own 
oats yielded only 25 bushels per acre, but the oats I got from you yielded 
58 bushels ot good heavy oats. 1 took a bundle to the fair and got first 
premium. ERNEST FRANK. 
Welland Co., Ont. Talking from experience and not from heresay. If the 
ground is in good condition, your 0. A. C. No. 72 oats will yield from 75 to 
125 bushels per acre. I plucked off one head and got 260 grains from it. 
F. D. SMITH.

a mistake in not getting more. J. F. CONLEY. 
Victoria Co., N.B. Harry Paulson threshed over 100 bushels per acre from 
the seed oats he got from you. FRANK E. LEONARD.
