ITHACAN OATS 
In answer to what oats a man shall buy for seed we can do no better than quote from Dr. 
Bussell of the New York State College of Agriculture, who said, “If I were to sow oats upon soils 
of average or medium fertility I would use the ITHACAN.’’ 
This variety was developed by the Department of Plant Breeding, New York State College 
of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y., after many years of painstaking work. 
Year after year it is a very consistent yielder. This does not hold true with most strains, 
as they soon fall off in yield and weight. 
DESCRIPTION OF THE ITHACAN OATS 
This is a very heavy yielding, thin-shucked variety with plump white kernels. The plant 
stools freely; maturing in mid-season. It is a tree or branching oat with good stiff straw of me¬ 
dium height, standing up well. Year after year the average weight is about 40 lbs. or better per 
measured bushel. 
When shucked 100 lbs. will give about 70 lbs. of clear meats. The average strains run from 
60 to 65 lbs. 
We are using the original strain furnished by our State College.
