RECLEANED AND GRADED SEED 
Too little attention is paifl by farmers to the quality of 
seed planted, especially, seed grain. 
On our part we knew that we could not furnish the i'est 
unless we first grew or had grown for us the l>est quality 
possible and then recleaned it of weed seed and small un¬ 
developed grains. This necessitated our spending thousands 
of dollars for recleaning machiner.v, steady, regular and 
effective in seed cleaning. 
It is no exaggeration to say that the Hastings system of 
recleanliig 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 what recleaning and grading does for 
what one would consider a good sample of oats or other 
grain. It's simpl.v amazing the amount of chaff, dirt, weed 
seed and small or partly developed grains that are taken 
out in recleaning by our electric imwer driven machinery. 
^^lOO-BUSHEL OATS” IN EIGHT 
SOUTHERN STATES 
Georgia 
Jlr. Thomas G. Scott, Monroe County, Geor¬ 
gia, grew 1000 bushels of Hastings’ 100- 
Bushel Oats on exactly 19 acres of land after the extreme 
cold winter of 1918. “These 1900 bushels of oats on 19 acres 
certainly shows that these oats are true to name.” These 
oats were planted between cotton rows on red clay hills of 
middle Georgia and Jlr. Scott picked a bale of Hastings’ 
Bank Account Cotton per acre the fall he planted oats. The 
straw brought $15.00 a ton in addition to the grain and 
cotton and the land was in much better shape for being 
protected during the winter. 
“I planted on November 15th a half bushel of 
your 100-Bushel Oats, open furrow system, 
without fertilizer. I commenced cutting for green feed for 
four cows on December 17th, feeding once a day. I am still 
cutting; they are a regular cut and come again oat for 
green feed in winter. 100-Bushel Oats for me first, last and 
all the time.”—Mrs. J. M. Fitzgerald, Hamilton County. 
“100-Bushel Oats are the best. Made fifty 
bushels per acre; other oats on same land 
made 30 bushels per acre.”—AV. H. Harris, Pike County. 
“I planted the six bushels of 100-Bushel Oats in Novem¬ 
ber and they are looking fine. Expect to make 50 to 00 
bushels per acre. I am a regular customer of yours. I 
think your seeds are easily the best in the South.’—Henry 
Klsette, Marion County. 
“I had fine results from the 100-Bushel 
Oats. I do not know just how many 
oats I gathered but they were the best I ever saw grow. Your 
efforts to improve the Southern farmer ought to be appre¬ 
ciated and I long to see the day when the South will make 
all her own grain and meat.”—I. H. C. Cook, Forrest County. 
“100-Bushel Oats is the most vigorous looking oat that I 
have ever seen. Your seed have proven very satisfactory; 
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_miiciana ‘‘The best variety that has ever been seen 
in this country. They are strictly ’rust¬ 
proof,’ which is a great point in their favor.”—G. R. Jor¬ 
dan, ,Tackson Parish. 
“This season I threshed 3.008 bushels of 100- 
* Bushel Oats from 27 acres of land. ('Yhis is an 
average of over 111 bushels per acre.) Some men estimate 
that 150 to 200 bushels more were wasted in the fiebl. I 
would like to have j'our prices on fall grains of all kinds.” 
-C. A. Gordon, Brown County. 
“East fall, a year ago, 1 bought 
from you some of your 100-Bushel 
Oats, and I made 100 bushels per acre.”—J. J. Bethea, Dil¬ 
lon County 
“Am well pleased with the 100 
Bushel Oats bought of you last 
fall.”—W. S. Percival, Moore County.

PRICES-Hastings’ 100-BusheI Oats 
Persons or dealers selling: farm run of oats regardless of the quality 
of the crop and not recleaued or g:raded can undersell us. So can a 
farmer claiming: to sell recleaned seed g:rain ^vhen it has only been 
run throug:h an ordinary fanning: mill. If you buy from Hastinjjs yon are sure of two things. One is that the seed is of the very 
best vitality, 95% g:erinination 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 biij' can make them. 
Further, every bushel of seed oats we ship out is sacked in new, sound !>ags, 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. We thought we could name 
at least an “about*' price before this page went to press, but we cannot. Write when ready to buy for our very best prices on amount 
you want; sample and freight or express rates to your station if you desire. Found, 30 cents; 4 pounds, .$1.00; postpaid.
