OLDS’ SEED OATS 
WE SPECIALIZE IN SEED OATS, KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE VARIETIES ONLY. Wisconsin stands at the head of all the states in developing valu¬ 
able pedigree strains of oats. We are in close touch with the work done along this line at the Wisconsin Experiment 
Station here at Madison and offer the varieties produced by them, confining ourselves entirely to those varieties. 
OUR OATS ARE BRIGHT, HEAVY AND PLUMP. The oat crop the past season the country over was very poor 
in quality and only slightly more than half as large in bushels as in 1932. Fortunately we carried over a large 
stock from the beautiful 1932 crop, the nicest we ever raised. If your oats are poor and light do not use them 
for seed and do not under any circumstances sow common untested oats shipped in from the Northwest by your local 
feed dealer. They are almost sure to contain wild oats, wild mustard or other noxious weeds. Sow Olds’ clean 
pure stock of the Wisconsin pedigreed varieties. It will pay you. The increased yield per acre will quickly absorb 
the cost of the seed. 
REGISTERED SEED. “Registered Seed’’ as defined by the Wisconsin Experiment Association is seed that was 
grown from either foundation or registered seed, that has been both field inspected and sample inspected by the Experi¬ 
ment Association and shows a purity test of not less than 99.8 per cent. There must be not more than one kernel per 
pound of other varieties or kinds of grain, no noxious weed seeds, not more than 9 per pound of other weed seeds 
and not more than 2-10 per cent of inert matter. The grain must be grown from seed treated for smut and show not 
more than Vz per cent of smut. Most of our growers treat with Ceresan. See page 79. Germination must be at least 
90 per cent, weight not less than 30 pounds. By foundation seed is meant seed that was grown on the Station farm. 
CERTIFIED SEED. “Certified Seed’’ calls for the same inspections as Registered Seed, with freedom from noxious 
weeds, the purity test not less than 99.5 per cent. There must be not more than 5-10 per cent mixture of other varie¬ 
ties and not more than 9 per pound other kinds of grain, otherwise the same requirements as for Registered Seed 
OFFICIAL TAGS. We use official certification tags authorized by the Wisconsin Experiment Association. 
STANDARD SEED. Our Standard Seed shows high purity and is nearly equal to the Registered and Certified Seed. 
Prize Sheaf of State’s Pride at one of the Grain Shows of the Wisconsin Experiment Association, 
STATE'S PRIDE (WISCONSIN PEDIGREE NO. 7) 
Most Popular Early Oat and Best Yielder of all Oats at Wisconsin Experiment Station Farm. 
State’s Pride has taken things by storm. It has proven to be the best grain for a nurse crop and 
because of its high yielding qualities and earliness it has become the most popular oat in Wisconsin. 
Description. State’s Pride is a small yellow oat, bright and shiny, with a very thin hull. In fact it 
is about all meat, very heavy and a great oat for feeding. The oats are small in size but how they do 
pour out of the spout at threshing time. State’s Pride is very early, indeed the earliest of all varieties, some 25 
or 30, grown at the Wisconsin Station. This enables it to escape rust. 
It has a short stiff straw and has stood up the best of all oats at the Wisconsin Experiment Station Farm. 
It has been grown for over 20 years at the Experiment Station and has given an average yield of 68.5 bushels per 
acre, a record which no other oat has equalled.
