HASTINGS' 100-BUSHEL OATS 
BEST of ALL HEAVY YIELDING RUST-PROOF OATS for the SOUTH 
For paying, worth while oat crops the planter must have a good 
heavy yielding, well adapted “rust-proof” variety, and then strong, 
vital, recleaned and graded seed of that variety. We can furnish 
both the right variety and really reeleaned and graded seed. 
Too little attention is paid by farmers to the quality of seed 
planted, especially seed grain. 
On our part we knew that we could not furnish the best unless 
we first grew or had grown for us the best quality possible and 
then recleaned it of weed seed and small undeveloped grains. This 
necessitated our spending thousands of dollars for recleaning 
machinery, steady, regular and effective in seed cleaning. 
It is no exaggeration to say that the Hastings’ system of re- 
cleaning and grading increases the stand by at least 15% over 
seed not recleaned. Besides every plant coming up is capable of 
making a vigorous plant giving a maximum yield. 
Any time you are in Atlanta during late summer and fall drop 
in and see just Avhat recleaning and grading does for what one 
would consider a good sample of oats or other grain. It’s simply 
amazing the amount of chaff, dirt, weed seed and small or partly 
developed grains that are taken out in recleaning by our electric 
power driven machinery. 
Hastings’ 100-Bushel Oat is a true strain of Southern rust-proof 
oats. For an all around general purpose oat you can find nothing 
that will compare with it. Planted in early fall it grows off quick- 
ly and has proven almost as hardy as rye. Stools out strongly and 
makes the best kind of grazing for cattle, hogs, horses and mules 
during the winter and early spring. 
Grains are exceptionally large and heavy, usually weighing 40 
pounds or over to a measured bushel. It’s really a thoroughbred, 
just the sort of oat you ought to have growing on your farm. No 
matter where you live in the South, if you are in the fall oat plant- 
ing section this is the one variety above all others for you to plant. 
Oats are easier grown than corn, cost less to make and are a far 
better feed in summer for work stock, being less heating. Fur- 
nishes a combination of grain and hay feed in case it is inconve- 
nient to thresh them out. 
Besides, on most farms, corn has the very bad habit of giving 
out before new corn comes in, and it’s far better to make oats than 
to be compelled to buy corn or oats at such high prices. 
Grow Oats Like This on Your Farm. Hastings’ lOO-Bushel Becleaned Oats Pay Their Difference in Price Many Times Over 
PRICES-Hastings' lOO-Bushel Oats 
Persons or dealers selling farm run of oats regardless of the quality 
of the crop and not recleaned or graded can undersell ns. So can a 
farmer claiming to sell recleaned seed grain when it has only been 
run through an ordinary fanning mill. If you buy from Hastings’ you are sure of two things. One is that the seed is of the very 
best vitality, 95% germination or above, and the second is that the seed oats or other grain are just as clean and free from dirt, 
trash, weed seed, chaff and small or undeveloped grains as the best recleaning machinery we can buy can make them. 
Further, every bushel of seed oats we ship out is sacked in new, sound bags, insuring so far as new bagging can, full, even weights 
and safety. We state these things because they are facts as to the service the Hastings organization renders you. Our prices may 
be higher per bushel, but we furnish you more for your money than you get from lower price sources. Write when ready to buy 
for our very best prices on any amount you want; sample and freight or express rates to your station if you desire. Pound, 30 
cents; 4 pounds, $1.00; postpaid. Not prepaid: Bushel, $1.50; 10 Bushels or over, $1.S5 per Bushel.
