NEW LENROC OATS 
Here are the new heavy yielding white Oats which were developed by the College of Agricul¬ 
ture, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. 
DESCRIPTION OF LENROC OATS 
“The Lenroc” is a new white oat of the tree type. While somewhat slimmer than other com¬ 
mercial varieties, it is nevertheless exceptionally heavy and possesses a high percentage of meats. 
The grain, as it comes from the thresher, usually weighs 40 to 45 lbs. per measured bushel. 
They are a free grower, well adapted to upland use. 
Price—Recleaned Seed: 96c per bu.—bags free. Orders subject to stock unsold.

ALPHA BARLEY 
About 80% of all barley used in New York State is the two rowed Alpha. 
It is one of the very best grains to use as a nurse crop for either clover or alfalfa as it does not 
require so much moisture for heavy straw development. It has a good stiff straw, and will not 
smother out young seeding like cats. A better catch of seeding usually results on land cropped 
heavily, as is the case with cabbage ground, if barley is used as a nurse crop. 
YIELD RECORDS 
Alpha Barley averaged 42.9 bushels per acre for the last seven years prior to 1931 grown 
in several different New York counties. It outyielded all the other improved strains. Beardless 
and barbless varieties did not yield within 3 to 11 bushels as much. 
In New Jersey tests at New Brunswick, Alpha averaged 45 bushels per acre, outyielding all 
others.
