L_ I B ERTY OHT. 
201 and 1-3 BUSHELS FROM ONE ACRE 
Is tile certified statement made by Hoover & Moore, of Garfield Co., Col. Their report reads: “We, Hoover & Moore, 
do hereby certify that we have grown and threshed from one acre of Liberty Oats six thousand, foui hundred and 
forty-three (6443) pounds, or 201 1-3 bushels. 
Mr. P. U. Sinnott, Fayette Co., Ia., among others, writes: “Liberty Oats are the most wonderful Oats I have 
ever seen. I purchased last spring 2 1-2 bushels of Liberty Oats which I sowed on one measured acre and harvested 
196 bushels, 15 pounds, only lacking 3 bushels and 17 pounds of the coveted 200 bushels. 1 am sure I would have got 
200 bushels, yes, much more, but the season was so dry. People came for miles to see my field of beautiful oats, and 
all pronounce them the finest they have ever seen.” 
A prize of $ 200 in gold was offered for yields of 200 bushels per acre or more, with the result as given above. 
Ten competitors for the prizes averaged 121 bushels per acre, the lowest yield reported being 96 1-2 bushels per acre. 
Photographed during drought of 1895. Fields of common varieties on neighbors’ farms adjoining were cut with a 
mower and raked up as the straw was not long enough to bind. 
Of the 1,200 farmers distributed 
All over the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Germany and France, to whom 1-4 lb. packages were sent for trial, 
nothing but the most glowing, hearty and enthusiastic reports came. Every one reporting has the very best words to say for 
Liberty Oats. The Oats were sent in packages containing the following descriptions: 1-4 lb. sample of Liberty Oats. Here’s 
a brand new Oat; please plant it and care for it fondly; it will proven gold mine; it's worth its weight in gold; we believe a yield 
of 200 bushels per acre possible with the Liberty Oat; try it and send a 20-word, or less, report, on a postal card, regarding 
Liberty Oats by OcL. 1, 1893. In order to give you an idea, we append herewith a few of the 1,200 testimonials received. 
Albert Sible, Ind. — Liberty Oat proved the most wonderful I 
ever saw or grew. Its yield will surely be 200 bushels per acre. 
Frank Herbs, Wis. — You may well shout “Eureka.” Liberty is 
grand. Nothing seen like it here. I expect 200 bushels per acre 
next year. 
Henry Selmser, 111 . — I thank you for that sample of Liberty 
Oats. I believe it will be the biggest yielder out. 
C E Ilradney, Minn — It is just as you say, Liberty is certainly 
all you claimed for it. I am satisfied it will reach nearer 200 bush- 
els than any other sort. 
Theo. Schmaltze, 111 — It does well here. Weather was bad but 
Liberty proved the better of all oats here. Yields enormously. 
J. E. Ksly, ICy — Blue Grass is fine but this oat beats it, I am 
sure it will yield 200 bushels per acre. 
Chas. Richter, Ind.— We raise lots of Oats here but never saw 
anything like the Liberty. It will lift many mortgages. 
II. C Litecke, Ohio. — Again a new Oat. That's what I thought 
when sample came, but now I say Liberty. Its a marvel. 
J. D Holstead, Mich.— No use talking. Liberty takes everything. 
Everybody wants it. I'll sell 200 bushels next spring in bushel 
lots. * What’s your price? 
H. H. King, N. Y.— Bonanza won the $500 in this state, Your 
Liberty gets away ahead of it and is a finer Oat, too.
