For Higher Yield Plant Wood’s 
Unmixed Treated Seed Oats 
99% Pure. 90% Germination. Free of Noxious Weeds 
Wood’s Seed Oats are heavily recleaned, have large, heavy kernels, and 
are treated against diseases that attack young seedlings. They make vig¬ 
orous, healthy plants that withstand winter freezes, stronger stalks, larger 
heads, and greater yields of plump grain free of disease. 
“Buy Seed Oats” says Dept, 
of Agriculture 
Ala. Dept, of Agriculture, July 
15 —Even though farmers are now 
able to buy better seed oats than 
ever before they are in many in¬ 
stances planting mixed varieties of 
low germination. We urge when 
planting seed oats that you be sure 
to secure unmixed oats that have 
been tested for germination, are 
found free of weeds and properly 
labeled. 
Tests made by the Seed Control 
Laboratory show that most of the 
seed oats produced and saved by 
farmers this year are badly mixed, 
contain a high percentage of weeds 
(cheat. Darnel, Johnson Grass), and 
are of poor quality due to unfavor¬ 
able weather conditions. By secur¬ 
ing unmixed, high germinating, prop¬ 
erly labeled seed oats, much higher 
yields can be expected.--Haygood 
Paterson, Commission of Agriculture. 
Buy Seed Oats and Save Money 
Most seed oats saved on the farm 
this year only germinate about 30%. 
To get a normal stand you must seed 
three times more bushels per acre 
than Wood’s Treated Seed Oats, 
which germinate over 90%. 
SOW OATS IN THE FALL 
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. 
Although oats may be sown from 
the last of Aug. through Oct., the 
earlier seeded the better. Early seed¬ 
ing permits deep root growth, before 
cold weather, avoids winter killing, 
allows earlier maturity before hot 
weather damage in the spring, and 
produces heavier yields. 
Oats Make the Best Fall Pasture 
The winter pasture chart (next 
page), shows early seeded oats fur¬ 
nish an abundance of pasture at the 
time most needed, when summer pas¬ 
tures die out, and before Abruzzi 
Rye and winter legumes are ready. 
Sow Wood’s Seed Oats 2 bu per 
acre for grain, 3 bu. for hay, on a 
well prepared mellow seed bed. Ap¬ 
ply 400 lbs. per acre of Wood’s 
Standard Grain FertiUzer. 
Left: Sniut-infected oats. Right: Ceresian 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.”—Ellerslie Farm, King George County, Va. 
Certified 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 and 
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. 
In the 1939 South Carolina test our Im¬ 
proved Lee made 95 bushels per acre to 51 
for Fulghum—outyielding Coker’s Ful- 
grain Strains 2 and 3. It has large, plump, 
meaty kernels, weighing over 40 lbs. per 
struck bushel. 
Many customers report yields over 100 
bus. per acre. It stools out and makes 
more fall and winter growth than other 
varieties. 
Woods Certified 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 test.
