SEED OATS 
Columbia Spring Oats. The earliest maturing and 
heaviest yielding spring oats. A selection from Fulghum 
Seven to ten days earlier, more uniform, taller, more erect 
larger heads, heavier, plumper grain; and can be planted 
a week later and still mature before hot weather and rust 
damage it. It yields 79 bushels per acre while other spring 
planted oats yield 40 to 55 bushels. Large, heavy, 
well-filled heads, reddish gray color, awnless. Already 
the leading spring oats in the Mississippi Valley. 
Bu. 85c; 10 bu. 83c per bu. 
LEE COLD PROOF OATS 
This is a winter variety of Oats, however, it is giving 
excellent results when planted in early spring, the last of 
February or first of March. If you have never grown 
winter Oats be sure and try Lee Cold Proof this fall. Sow 
them in September at the rate of 2-bushels per acre and 
you will be surprised at the amount of Oats you will raise 
per acre. Bu. 85c; 10 bu. 83c per bu. 
Fulghum. Rust-proof. One of the best early varieties 
for spring planting in Virginia. Heavy yielder.

West Virginia, making good crops on light and heavy 
soils. Grain plump, extra heavy. Bu. 75c; 10 bu. 73c per 
bu.

Swedish select. Recommended where a cheaper oats is 
desired. Bu. 70c; 10 bu. 68c per bu. 
PLANT TREATED OATS 
We can now offer Seed Oats, treated with improved 
Ceresan for the control of smut and other diseases, which 
result in increased yield, for 5c per bushel more than one 
untreated seed. 
OATS RESPOND TO FERTILIZER 
On light soil use 200 to 300 pounds per acre of 4-12-4 
fertilizer. On rich soil where legumes have recently 
grown or manure been applied, the same amount of 16 
per cent Superphosphate is sufficient. 
RAPE SEED

and poultry. Sow seed in early spring, 3 to 5 lbs. per 
acre in drills, or 8 to 10 lbs. broadcast. 
Lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 9c per lb.; 50 lbs. SVzc per lb.

COWPEAS 
A highly nutritious forage crop and valuable for soil- 
improvement. For the latter use, cut the vines for for¬ 
age or hay, then sow seed in the stubble and roots. Vines 
produce an immense quantity of feed in a short time. Sow 
1 Vz bus. per acre between May 20 and July 15. 
Mixed Cowpeas. A mixture produces a better crop of 
vines and foliage than a single variety. For soil-im¬ 
provement, the mixture has distinct advantages. A 
bushel of Peas and 6 lbs. of Millet per acre make q 
fine hay crop.
