Coker's PEDIGREED STANTON OATS 

Dr. T. R. Stanton, Chief Agronomist in charge of U. S. D. A. Oat Investigation, inspecting one 
of our seed fields of the new Stanton oat which was named in his honor. 
Stanton, a striking new oat, combines all the 
good characters of both its Lee and Victoria par- 
ents. The Lee is highly productive, cold-resist- 
ant and has nice grain characters but is highly 
susceptible to all races of both rusts and smuts; 
the Victoria, a South American oat, is highly 
resistant to all races of leaf rust and smuts and 
has good yield factors but has no cold resistance 
and has a strong awn or beard on the first grain 
of each spikelet. Stanton has the cold resistance 
of the Lee, the smut and rust resistance and 
quality straw of the Victoria and a higher pro- 
duction record than either parent. 
In a three-year test Stanton averaged 79.1 
bushels per acre, Fulgrain Strain 3 averaged 70.6 
bushels and Victorgrain 76.6 bushels per acre. 
Stanton has led the best Red Rust Proof strains 
from three to twenty per cent in yield in our 
tests. Only one year during this period did a 
Red Rust Proof strain equal it in yield. Stanton 
should fit ideally into the oat-growing program 
of the cotton belt. 
DESCRIPTION 
Plant: Procumbent, winter type, profuse tiller- 
ing, long fine blades, cold-resistant, rust- 
resistant, smut-resistant, slightly taller than 
Fulgrain Strain 3. 
Season: A week later than Victorgrain; same as 
Red Rust Proof. 
Heads: Very long, well balanced. 
Straw: Stiff, good storm resistance. 
Grains: Bright to rich yellow, attractive, a few 
with awns or beard. 
Production: Highest. 
Utility: Ideal for grain and its profuse leaf 
growth, tillering, height and rust resistance 
make it also an ideal oat for either hay or 
silage. 
PRICES: $5.00 per bushel, 1 to 12 bushels; $4.75 
per bushel, 12 to 48 bushels; $4.50 per
