Our Oat Experience Meeting 
It’s a good old church custom to have from time to time 
what are called “experience meetings.” It’s a good custom 
in religious matters, it would he a mighty good practice for 
the farmers of the different districts or precincts, or even 
counties, to get together from time to time and have “farm 
experience meetings” where all the brothers could get to¬ 
gether and tell of (lie things that have proven profitable, as 
well as tell of the mistakes they have made that should lie 
avoided. We have said that “100-Bushel Oats” are good all 
over the South. It’s true, not because Hastings says so. but 
because “100-Bushel Oats ’ have been planted all over the 
South, and have “made good,” and we have on this page tes¬ 
timony from eight Southern States telling how good they are. 
We have sold during the last six years over one hundred and 
fifty thousand bushels of our “100-Bushel Oats,” most of 
them to farmers whoi have either planted them before or have 
seen them growing on neighboring farms. All these oats 
need is a chance to show what they can do on your farm. 
“100- BUSHEL OATS” IN EIGHT 
SOUTHERN STATES 
f^ Anl > 0 'i 9 Planted two acres of “100-Bushel Oats” and 
two acres of Appier: “100-Bushel” was the 
best oat by 15% to 20%. Yielded 60 to 70 bushels per acre 
against 50 to 60 for the Appier.—O. S. McRae, Walton Co. 
I gave your “100-Bushel Oats” a hard test by sowing them 
on poor, thin, red land. Even under these conditions they 
grew well and made a good crop. They grew about waist 
high, with the largest, heaviest heads I ever saw. I am going 
to get more seed this fall and plant them on good land, for 
if this variety will make a crop on such poor land as I used 
last year, they will certainly prove profitable on good land. 
—T. F. Crow. Hall County. 
Y'our “100-Bushel Oats” I sowed last fall with open fur¬ 
row drill look fine and give promise of a large yield. It is 
the only field of oats in my section that has not been badly 
damaged by freezes.—Don Harris, Walker County. 
From the “100-Bushel Oats” I bought from you last fall I 
made 00 bushels on one measured acre.—C. W. Gray, Ca¬ 
toosa County. 
FlflKirla “100-Bushel Oats” were very fine. Planted side 
r lUIlUd b y side with another variety, they showed 
themselves 5 to 1 the better oats.—McVoy & Co., Escambia Co. 
Made as fine a crop of oats as I ever saw in New York 
state; the heads were well filled and of very best quality. 
This is the oat for us to raise in this section.—H. C. Pettit, 
Hillsboro County. 
I bought your “100-Bushel” Seed Oats and am delighted 
with results. I have never made such a crop of oats before; 
they were the heaviest and the most to the ground I ever 
saw.—W. F. Cowen, Gadsden County. 
Alabama “100-Bushel Oats are the best. Made 50 
nldUallld bushels per acre; other oats on same land 
made 30 bushels per acre.—W. H. Harris, Pike County. 
I made 12 tons of straw and oats from two and one-half 
acres. I did not thresh the oats so do not know how many 
bushels there were, but they were notably the best oats my 
neighbors ever saw, averaging five feet high, from seed 
planted October 1.—Jno. A. Rogers, Sumter County. 
Mieeleeinni “100-Bushel Oats” planted last days of 
lvll99l9S>l|J|JI January made fine yield with unfavor¬ 
able season. Texas Rust-Proof Oats in same field made 
complete failure. “100-Bushel Oats” are of great value, shall 
want more in the fall.—R. H. Campbell, Scott County. 
Have sown several acres of your “100-Bushel Oats" and 
have an excellent stand. It is the most vigorous looking Oat 
that I have ever seen. Y’our seed have proven very satis¬ 
factory; this is more than I can say for some seedsmen in 
-- and other points.—O. M. Harrill, president of Bank 
of Houlka, Chickasaw County. 
I Aineiana The best variety that has ever been seen 
LOUIalalld j n this country. They are strictly “rust¬ 
proof,” which is a great point in their favor.—G. It. Jordan, 
Jackson Parish. 
My 11 acres of “100-Bushel Oats” yielded 685 
I CAd9 bushels, an average of over 02 bushels per acre. 
This yield excelled all others in the neighborhood of my 
farm,'beating the next best by about 18 bushels per acre.— 
G. A. Duerler, Bexar County. 
Have sold all my oats I have to 
aouin l/arOlllla spare; sowed eight bushels and 
threshed out 221 1 /, bushels from 4 acres. Your oats are fine 
and am fixing for a big crop next time. Would pay $2.00 a 
bushel rather than sow any other sort.—D. T. Andrews, 
Greenville County. 
Am well pleased with the “100- 
NOrin Carolina Bushel Oats” bought of you last 
fall.—W. S. Percival, Moore County.
