The White 
Kherson 
This variety is extremely 
early. Straw is short and 
grain heads unusually large 
and heavy. The standing 
crop looks like almost a 
solid mass of grain. Con¬ 
sidering its early maturity 
it is the heaviest producer. 
The grain is of fine quality. 
It is admirably suitable 
for a nurse crop because of 
Its shorter straw and early 
maturity. Escapes hot 
weather damage. Does not 
shade clover seedlings too 
heavily. These White 
Kherson Oats are in our 
opinion the most profitable 
of the very early varieties. 
Our heavy producing strain 
of heavily cleaned stock is 
distinctly superior seed, and 
we urge its use, wherever a 
money making early white 
oat is desired. 
r "GOLDEn n. 
RUST PROOF 
Some farmers have become discouraged with their 
oat crop because it seemed that unfavorable weather 
conditions so often caused a heavy reduction in yield 
If you have encountered • such conditions we ask you to 
try our Golden Rust Proof. They will stand more punish¬ 
ment and still come across with a good yield than any variety 
we know of. It is one of our heaviest producers and a big 
money maker. Has yielded well over 100 bushels per acre. 
Description 
Our Golden Rust Proof is a yellow oat. Medium size 
kernels with thin hulls. Quite early. Medium length 
strong textured straw. Our seed is recleaned and heavily 
fanned. Nice plump bright colored stock. 
There is always a good local demand for better seed 
oats Neighbors are Quick to see superior Quality and 
yields. They are willing to pay a premium for seed 
Be the one to start this revelation in vour 
community. Lead the way to more profitable 
oat production. The leader gets the great¬ 
est financial benefit. An investment 
in such seed stock pays handsome 
returns.

YELLOW KHERSON 
OR ■ O-S 
An earlv yellow oat that originated out in Iowa. 
A very heavy yielding; early yellow variety. The Iowa 
Experiment Station at Ames, developed this and they 
have lot of reasons to be proud of their accomplish¬ 
ment. Its very early maturity helps it to escape the 
damage of hot weather that sometimes overtakes the 
later maturing; kinds. It is largely grown throughout 
the corn belt. Straw somewhat short and very i 
strong. One of the best varieties for very rich land. | 
We do not recall ever having had one com¬ 
plaint on the many thousands of bushels we 
have sold. The fine quality of this thin hulled 
oat plus its large production makes it a general . 
favorite. Our seed is improved recleaned stock. ’

No Hulls—AH 
Meat 
This is radically different 
from ordinary varieties. 
The grain threshes out sim¬ 
ilar to rye only the grain 
is softer. No waste of hulls.. 
Feeding value is higher. 
They will yield well often 
exceeding many of the bet¬ 
ter types of hulled oats in 
production. Considering the 
absence of hulls and in¬ 
creased food value the 
actual returns are large 
even though a smaller num¬ 
ber of pounds are produced. 
You will like this remark¬ 
able variety. 
Good Seed 
—Carefully 
Prepared 
We select our seed 
carefully and get the 
best producing strain 
for you. Since the 
grain is soft it is a 
little more easily af¬ 
fected by smut. For 
that reason we treat 
our seed with copper 
carbonate which kills 
s m u t and thus pro¬ 
duces clean high qual¬ 
ity stands. You see we 
take special care to 
see that you get the fin¬ 
est seed that will give 
you the greatest possible 
yields of first quality 
grain. See page 32 for 
prices.
