DIBBLE’S 
Twentieth Century 
OATS 
Are early, extremely productive, with tall, stiff straw 
bearing long heads filled with good-weight, thin-hulled 
grain, this year’s crop weighing from 38 to 40 pounds per 
measured bushel. These Oats originally came to us from 
northern Canada, being discovered by one of our men we 
had out looking for new varieties of grain. After growing 
them on our farms for a year or two, with good results, we 
introduced them to our trade, and they have given general 
satisfaction. 
On our own farms, growing from 100 to 150 acres 
annually, they have given us a yield of over 60 bushels per 
acre for a ten-year average, which is over twice the average 
production of the United States for the same period. 
Several crops, on large fields, have yielded over 80 bushels 
per acre, and a neighbor, from a 4-acre field, threshed and 
delivered to our warehouse 440 bushels of recleaned grain. 
Dibble’s Twentieth Century Oats have had a direct sale 
to farmers, through our Catalog, of over 450,000 bushels 
since we introduced them twenty years ago, and they seem 
to be as popular and productive as ever. 
440 Bushels from 4 Acres 
From four acres of land we threshed this season 440 bushels 
of Oats, thresher’s measure.— Levi Simons, Livingston County, 
N ^ Outyielding Others 
The Twentieth Century Oats were fine; they yielded just 
two bushels where other Oats yielded one in the same field.—- 
C. A. Boyd, Saegerstown, Pa. 
The Twentieth Century Oats yielded 65 bushels to the 
acre, free from smut—about twice the yield of my neighbors.

An Ideal Oat-crop 
Heavyweight Oats 
DAIRYMEN, Read the Following Carefully 
For a number of years many of our customers have been growing their 
concentrated grain-feeds on their own farms instead of buying patent feeds 
at high prices from the feed-dealers, and these dairy-farmers have made money 
year in and year out. From our experience, we recommend the two following 
Mixtures to sow per acre for best results: 
Mixture No. 1 Mixture No. 2 
i bushel Heavyweight or T. C. Oats 
i bushel Alpha Barley 
i bushel Canada Field Peas 
Oats 
i bushel Heavyweight or T. C. 
i bushel Alpha Barley 
i bushel Marquis Spring Wheat 
And quite a few farmers are using just Oats and Alpha Barley, sown to¬ 
gether in equal quantities. AH of the grains above mentioned may be sown 
early in the spring, ripen at the same time, and can be harvested without 
shelling. Letters from our customers report yields from these Mixtures of 
from 60 to 89 bushels per acre, average weight 50 pounds per bushel; or P/i. 
to over 2 tons per acre, of a highly concentrated grain-feed. 
Analysis, as recently made by New York State Experiment Station, 
Geneva, N. Y., was as follows: 
Oats, Barley and Canada Pea Mixture 
Protein. 15.7 
Fat. 2.5 
Oats,Barley and Spring Wheat Mixture 
Protein. 11.9 
Fat. 2.9 
Compare these analyses with those of the patent or open-formula feeds 
you are buying, and we are sure you will decide to grow your own High-Grade 
Dairy Feed hereafter. What else can you grow on your farm that will make 
you the same amount of money?
