WELCOME OATS. 
As claimed by us Iasi year, the 'WFIjCOME OATS have proved, beyond all doubt, 
10 be the IicHa'lc<>t. hnii<isom<‘»l jiiid iiioitt itroiliirtlvp viaricty ever

To .award the prizes for the largest vields and best heads was such a diOicnlt task tbat

Tiir iincH, of The Ainrriran Ai/rieulliirii-l, kindly cntisented to act as Chairman of the Com- 
iiiilfee of .IiiJees, and by his re|Hirt it will be seen that there were liif.d duly authenticated 
Y\ reports coiui-etiiig for the prizes on vields, and .'>2'! competitors for prizes on Inist heads of 
oats. Besides these, we have receiveif hundreds of letters telling of tlic success of the free- 
trial ipnekets, Ten niid - lonrllin iii(‘3i.siii-(>d biihliela. weigliing
