SEED OATS, Schell’s “Big Yielder” 
Sow Schell’s “Big Yielder” Seed Oats this year and you 
may get the biggest and best crop of Oats you ever grew. 
There is just one reason why we continue to sell thou¬ 
sands of bushels of our Schell’s “Big Yielder” Seed Oats, 
and that is because of its high standard of quality and its 
tremendous yield. This makes our customers come back for 
more when they want new “blood”—and when a neighboring 
farmer sees a crop of it he wants it also. 
Schell’s “Big Yielder” Oats has been making 70 to 80 
bushels to the acre on the same soil and under the same con¬ 
ditions that produced 40 bushels from the old varieties. 
Pennsylvania’s Leading Oats. Outyielded all of 
twelve other well-known varieties 
Schell’s “Big Yielder” Oats has outyielded every other 
variety of tree or spreading Oats tested with it. With the 
yield you get quality; it is an unusually heavy-bodied Oats, 
big, plump, meaty grains, with very little chaff. It is a 
spreading or “tree” Oats; the straw is very strong, practically 
lodge-proof and averages 4 to 5 feet in height. A measured 
bushel will weigh from 42 to 45 pounds. Sow 2 Y bushels to 
the acre. A 20-acre field may give you many more dollars 
than ordinary Oats by increasing your yield 20 to 40 bushels 
more per acre. Prices: 1 to 9 bus., $1.10 per bus.; 10 to 24 
bus., $1.05 per bus.; 25 to 50 bus. or more, $1 per bus. 
here, at our store, freight not prepaid. 
PATTERSON SEED OATS. Tree or spreading head. A variety which under hundreds of demonstrations carried on throughout 
Pennsylvania, by Pennsylvania State College, has outyielded all varieties with which it was compared, including Cornellian, 
Keystone, Victory, Swedish Select, and Ithacan. Therefore, we highly recommend it to you. 1 to 9 bus., $1.10 per bus.; 
10 to 24 bus., $1.05 per bus.; 25 to 50 bus. or more, $1 per bus., freight not prepaid. 
MANGEL-WURZEL (Stock Beets) 
Six pounds will sow an acre. Dairy farmers should grow 
more of these for their cows. They make the best kind of 
winter feed, cost little and make more rich milk than almost 
any other feed. About one-fourth of the daily rations should be 
of roots. They are also excellent feed for poultry.
