The above photographic reproduction is not imaginary. It is a half-tone etching made direct from a photograph which repre- 
sents a field yielding one hundred and eight bushels per acre in a season and section where 35 bushels per acre was a good average, 
only one other field yielded so much as 60 bushels per acre.

The grain of the SENSATION 
lAlllm OAT is enormous in size, and has 
the largest meat in proportion to size of any oat. 
ry t,, The straw is very strong and does

less weight of grain in the head go down. The blade 
is nearly double the size of that of ordinary oats and 
is good evidence of its inherent vigor.

in that respect. In one of our fields, this past season, 
we sowed ten pecks per acre on part and the re- 
mainder was sown with seven pecks. It was abso- 
lutely impossible to see any difference in the appear- 
ance of the two parts and we noted no difference in 
the yield.

for feeding. It is no trouble for a horse to digest 
every kernel of grain. 
17V rt/ar* The remarkable vigor of the SEN- 
" t&Vr . SATION OAT is easily noticed in 
the growing crop from its first appearance above 
ground. One of our fields, this season, was sown 
with SENSATION OATS and two days before a 
neighbor’s field of common oats. When the SEN- 
SATION OATS were seven inches aboveground the 
others were not more than two. While common 
kinds suffered from excessive dry and cold weather 
the past spring, without exception, the SENSA- 
TION OATS were a rich dark green. 
HAVE YIELDED MORE THAN DOUBLE ORDINARY KINDS UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS. 
Tested side by side, with other oats, the “Sensation” has actually yielded double the number of bushels 
per acre. This can be partly attributed to the fact that in many cases the spikes or breasts will contain three 
full kernels where other oats give but two.
