SEED OATS 
“Your alfalfa and timothy 
were fine. Got three cut¬ 
tings. You should have seen 
that first one. It was great! 
Your Shadeland Victory 
Oats stood 4 feet high, and 
yielded 80 bushels per acre. 
Just the best oats I ever 
had.” — Joseph F. Schmit, 
Brooklyn Sta., Ohio. 
“I had 16 acres Shade- 
land Victory Oats and 
threshed 1,114 bushels of 
good quality, and am well 
satisfied with them. Planted 
5 % acres Lancaster County 
Sure Crop Corn and filled a 
12 x 36 silo into the roof.” 
— H. L. Kesner , New Haven, 
Michigan.

Poultry Feeders 
Raise more corn, barley, 
wheat, and oats. Mix your own 
grains for your flocks. This is 
much more economical than 
buying scratch grains. 
"SHADELAND VICTORY"—(Continued) 
we doubt if you ever saw prettier seed. The 
kernel inside the thin hull is large and heavy 
— making oats of best feeding value. 
"Shadeland Victory" is ready for the 
binder early. Makes stalks of good length. 
Stands up fine. Straw is stiff. Is one of the 
heaviest yielders. Has yielded into the 90’s 
of bushels per acre! Many gains of good 
size have been made by customers. . . . An 
Adams County (Pa.) friend got 70 bushels 
an acre from this oats, only 50 from his 
other variety. ... In central Ohio one gain 
of 25 bushels was made! A Lancaster 
County grower averaged 79 bushels per acre 
with Victory—59 with another kina! 
There was sharp competition from other 
anxious buyers this year. A big price had to . 
be paid to get this seed for you. Then it 
was brought all the way across the United 
States. Because it is grown (as always dur¬ 
ing these past 20 years) in Washington and 
Oregon. Costs more, we agree—but worth 
more! Thousands of our customers know 
this to be a fact—and so will you! 
"Shadeland Victory" will do things for 
you! It’s a proven variety, heavy yielder, 
fine quality. Will show you a nice profit!
