“The Shadeland Mark- 
ton Oats did very well, 
while the other varieties I 
sowed this year failed. In 
our vicinity we had an un¬ 
usual amount of rain just as 
the oats were about to go 
into head, but the Markton 
came through all right.”— 
Wm. Helms, Heller town. Pa. 
Mature Com 
Better Silage 
Experiments dearly show 
the better-feeding qualities of 
the more mature com for si¬ 
lage. The nearer the corn to 
maturity when cut for silage, 
the higher its feeding value. 
"SHADELAND MARKTON' 7 -(Continued) 
The grains of "Shadeland Markton" are 
very long. Unlike any other oats. Kernels 
are yellowish-white, long, slender, with a 
thin hull. Markton stands erect—stalks are 
of medium length—a mid-season ripener. 
Has proven especially free from trouble by 
covered smut, when other oats were badly 
damaged. Years ago Markton earned the 
distinction of being immune from smut. 
We dislike making so strong a claim, but 
feel it will withstand smut remarkably. 
This "Shadeland Markton" Seed came 
direct from the growers in the famous Shade- 
land Valleys of the Northwest. The home 
of the other famous Shadeland varieties, 
Victory, Climax and Eclipse. Great num¬ 
bers of Hoffman patrons have gotten extra 
big oats crops from those varieties. We be¬ 
lieve this Markton Seed will prove equally 
surprising and profitable to its users here¬ 
abouts. Try some of this "Shadeland Mark- 
ton" Oats—be the first in your community 
to have it—grow yourself a profitable crop.
