NEW LENROC OATS 
Here are the new heavy yielding White Oats which were developed by the College of Agri¬ 
culture, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. A grower at Clay, N. Y. reported a yield of 85 bu. 
per acre in 1939. 
“THE LENROC” is a new white oat of the tree type. While somewhat slimmer than other 
commercial 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. The shuck is exceptionally thin. 
Price—Recleaned Seed: $1.10 per bu.—bags free. Orders subject to stock unsold.

ALPHA BARLEY 
This 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 oats. 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. 
Price—$1.50 per bu. of 48 lbs., f. o. b. Cortland, N. Y. Jute bags free. Double sacking 5c per 
bu. extra. Our seed was grown from certified stock and is unusually nice. (No mustard on our 
Farm.) 
ITHACAN OATS 
THE ITHACAN 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 medium height, standing up well. Year after year the average weight is 40 lbs. or better 
per measured bushel. Originated and recommended by Cornell. When shucked 100 lbs. will give 
about 70 lbs. of clear meats. The average strains run from 60 to 65 lbs. Better adapted for rich 
soils than Lenroc. Our average yield in 1939 was 72 bushels per acre.
