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.

twelve other well-known varieties
