Scarff’s Fulghum Oats 
Early—Heavy Yielder—Stiff Straw 
Fulghum is a strain of awnless red Oats t 
matures very early. The straw is stiff, taller than 
the average oats and produces good yields in dry 
and average seasons when other varieties are prac¬ 
tically failures. Sow as early as it is possible to 
put oats in the ground. Always the best yields are 
from the early drilled fields. Productiveness, prob¬ 
ably more than any of its other good qualities, 
has contributed greatly to the wide popularity it 
has attained. We have reports of exceedingly 
heavy yields that other and later varieties will 
find hard to beat in seasons favorable for them. 
Fulghum stools out splendidly and has large heads 
of fine plump grains. Price, per bu., $1.00; 10 
bu. lots, 00c per bu.; 25 bu. lots or over 85c bu.

Fulghum and Gopher are right at the top 
with heavy yields over other kinds. This is 
true not only at the Experiment Stations but 
out on your farms and our farms. Year after 
year they keep on making these good yields.

Dry Dusts, which contain penetrating gases 
are rapidiy replacing the wet grain treatment 
formerly recommended as the best control. The 
cost per acre is comparatively small, not 
exceeding 12 cents. 
Formo-Dust is rapidly and easily applied. It 
liberates the gas rapidly enough to kill smut 
spores without injuring the grain in the process 
of germination. Grain should be treated at 
least 12 hours before sowing. It is not

Scarff’s Franklin Oats 
Variety tests running three to five years and with no less than four kinds and as many 
as ten varieties in the counties of the state have demonstrated very conclusively the yielding 
ability of Franklin Oats. IN THESE TRIALS IT HAS YIELDED HEAVIEST OVER ALL KINDS 
TESTED IN MIAMI, MADISON, HAMILTON, CLERMONT AND MAHONING COUNTIES. No 
other variety yielded so many oats over so wide a territory. Franklin is an outstanding variety 
and to get the best results keep your seed pure. 
Franklin Oats originated as a plant 
selection made in 1922 from the Fulg¬ 
hum variety. Its characteristics as 
compared with Fulghum are as fol¬ 
lows : The straw is longer and decided¬ 
ly stiffer, it matures slightly later than 
Fulghum, has an open panicle type of 
head, while the heads of typical Fulg¬ 
hum tend toward the side-head type. 
The color of chaff of Franklin oats is 
white while the chaff of Fulghum is 
yellow. The kernel color is like that of 
Fulghum, (red). The head type and 
chaff color should make it rather easy 
to identify this variety and to maintain 
pure seed stocks. Franklin oats is near¬ 
ly free of abnormal types that occur so 
frequently in Fulghum. Price per bu., 
$100; 10 bu. lots, OOc per bu.; 25 bu. 
lots or over 85c bu. 
FULGHUM or FRANKLIN OATS 
make ideal nurse crops for Alfalfa. 
They have very few leaves, mature early 
and produce a good crop, too. One 
bushel seed Oats per acre with 12 to 
15 pounds Alfalfa has always given us 
a good stand. Fight Canadian Thistles 
with Alfalfa. The only profit making 
crop that will smother them out. We 
practically reclaimed 30 acres of heavy 
infested thistle grown with Alfalfa. 
In the above plots Franklin was compared to two other early 
strains of Oats. Note how well the Franklin stands and others 
have completely lodged.
