For Higher Yield Plant Wood’s 
Unmixed Treated Seed Oats 
99% Pure. 90% Germination. Free of Noxious Weeds 
WoovI ■ 8eed Oats are heavily recleaned, have large, heavy kernels, and 
aro created against diseases that attack young seedlings. They make vig¬ 
orous, heaithy plants that withstand winter freezes, stronger stalks, larger 
heads, and greater yields of plump grain free of disease. 
“Buy Seed Oats” 
Ala Dept, of Agriculture, July 
15—]-ven though farmers are now 
ab]f to buy better seed oats than 
evrr before they are in many in¬ 
stances planting mixed varieties of 
low germination. We urge you secure 
unmixed oats, tested for germination, 
free of weeds and properly labeled. 
Tests made by the Seed Control 
' boratory show that most of the 
■ _d oats produced and saved by 
L:i;meT-s this year are badly mixed, 
contain a high percent of weeds 
(cheat. Darnel, Johnson Grass'!. and 
are of poor quality due to unfavor¬ 
able weather conditions. By s ; ■ 
ing unmixed, high germinating, prop¬ 
erly labeled seed oats, much higher 
yields can be expected.—Haygood 
Paterson, Commissioner Agriculture. 
Buy Seed Oats and Save Money 
Most seed oats saved on the farm 
this year germinate so poorly to get 
a normal stand you must seed two to 
three times more bushels per acre 
than Wood’s Treated Seed Oats, 
which germinate over 90%. 
Sow Wood’s Seed Oats 2 bus. per 
acre for grain, 3 bits, for hay, in 
Sept, or Oct., on a well prepared seed 
bed Apply 400 lbs. per acre of 
Wood’s Standard Grain Fertilizer. 
Fall sown oats make much larger 
yields of both grain and hay than 
spring sown oats, prevent erosion 
and loss of soil nutrients that become 
available by winter freezing and 
thawing, furnish valuable winter 
grazing when animals most need 
green feed, and make a better nurse 
crop for grass and clover seedings. 
Yet, many farmers lose their fall 
sown oats through winter killing by 
not planting Wood’s Treated Cold 
Resistant Seed Oats. 
Wood’s Improved 
Winter Turf Oats 
Extremely winter hardy. Heavy 
stooler. Grows 5 to 6 feet tall. Pro¬ 
duces % more hay than Fulghum or 
Fulgrain. An old reliable cold proof 
oat that made the highest average 
grain yield in a 20-year test at the 
Appomattox, "Va., Experiment Sta¬ 
tion, averaging % more than Fulg¬ 
hum. Our improved strain has large 
bright, plump kernels, is free of 
cheat and onions, and is far supe¬ 
rior to the average seed offered, 
which ha.s “run out,” is shrivelled 
and full of noxious weed seeds. 
Left: Smut-infected oats. Right: Ceresinn treated. 
Wood’s Seed Oats are treated with Ceresan to 
prevent smut and other diseases, insure good 
stands, vigorous growth, taller, stronger stalks, 
larger heads, plumper grains, and to increase 
yields up to 20 bushels per acre. 
"Although planted very late, WOOD’S IMPROVED LEE No. 5 OATS grew un¬ 
usually well and made a tremendous yield. Several neighbors commented on its 
extreme winter resistance. The heads were longer and the straw taller than other 
Lee Oats. There was no sign of smut or other diseases. I will double my acreage 
in them this fall.’’-—Elierslie Farm, King George County, Va. 
Pedigree Wood’s Improved Lee No. 5 
Heaviest Yielding Oat for Grain in Piedmont or Mountains. Best Oat for Hay or 
Winter Pasture in the South. Early Maturing, Tallest, Most Winter Resistant. 
Innumerable farmers tell us that our 
Lee is the only oat for the Piedmont and 
Mountains as it was not damaged by the 
past severe winter which destroyed or 
severely damaged other varieties. 
For 15 years Lee has been the leading 
oat for grain or hay in North Carolina ajid 
Virginia. Our Strain No. 5 is an improved 
selection from Lee. It has consistently 
outyielded Lee and all other oats for five 
years in the Statesville, N. C., Experiment 
Station tests, being the most winter re¬ 
sistant, having heavier grain, longer heads, 
taller stalks, and producing more hay. 
It outyielded Coker’s Fulgrain in the 
1939 South Carolina test, making 95 bus. 
per acre to 51 for Fulghum. It made 
the highest yield, 81.2 bus. acre in the 
1939 Williamsburg, Va., test, 50% more 
than many popular varieties. In the 
Glade Springs, Va., test, Lee produced 
twice as much straw as other oats, 3 
tons per acre to 1.3 for Fulghum, and 
the highest grain yield for 6 years.

Wood s Pedigree Fulgrain 
Cold and Smut Resistant 
Heaviest Grain Producing Oat for the 
Southern Coastal Section 
More disease resistant, much larger, 
heavier grain, and earlier maturing 
than Fulghums. Matures before hot 
weather and rust damage. Although 
not as cold resistant as Lee No. 5, it 
was not affected by a cold winter that 
damaged Fulghum. Stools well. Vig¬ 
orous winter growth. Superior for 
winter pasturing. Tough straw. Large, 
well balanced heads. Beautiful, long, 
heavy grains with a rich reddish yel¬ 
low color, thin hull, high per cent of 
meat and heavy test weight per bush¬ 
el. State inspectors found no disease 
or mixture in our fields. 
"Wood’s Certified Fulgrain produced 
65.4 bu. per acre to 21.4 bu. for Fulg¬ 
hum in a southern state teat.
