SEED OATS 
EXTRA PROFITS 
Come From Sowing Better Seed 
Whether you make or lose money on your oat crop depends 
largely upon how many bushels you produce per acre. The 
farmer using run down or poorly selected seed is almost sure 
to face a loss. You can generally change this into profit by 
sowing better seed. That means you spend a little more money 
at the start for better seed but it returns to you many times 
over at harvest time. The seed makes a whale of a lot of dif- 
ference in the crop.

It is important to sow Oats that have proved superior in 
yields, resistance to rust and suitable for your territory. Many 
farmers. claim it pays to change their seed oats every two or 
three years and obtain them from a different locality. Often 
the extra yield more than pays for the cost of seed. p 
NEW VARIETIES 
Good Oats Make Big Money 
This year we have added two new varieties of oats in our 
catalog. They are the Marion Oats and Vanguard Oats. We are 
offering them to our customers so they can grow oats at a profit.

New Variety—-CERTIFIED 
This variety was developed at the Iowa Agricultural Exper- 
iment Station, Ames, Iowa, in cooperation with the Bureau 
of Plant Industry, U. 8. Dept. of Agriculture. An Iowa Agr. 
Exp. Bulletin dated Jan., 1941, says: ‘‘These Marion Oats 
oviginated as a selection from the Markton Rainbow cross. 











Description 
The kernels are extra large and plump. They are 
almost 134 times as large as the average size machine 
run early oats. The straw is of good length, yet has: 
strength to fairly resist lodging. ‘The heads are spran-. 
led. 
A The Victory Type Oats took first prize at the In- 
ternational Livestock Show in 1938. See those great 
oversize méaty kernels. The Victory Type is a fairly 
late oat.. Often agents go through the country selling 
these oats to the farmers for fabulous prices. Order 
these oats and if you do not find the quality up to 
your expectations, you can ship them back to us and 
we will cheerfully refund your money including trans- 
portation charges. See page 32 for prices.

to both rusts as the Rainbow parent. It has the complete Mark- 
ton type of resistance to both loose and covered smut. It is 
mid-early, like Iowar and Gopher, and has the very best type of 
kernel for milling and for feed.’’ 
“NORTHERN GROWN 
A Sensational Producer - 
Superiority in Seed Oats is emphatically demonstrated — 
in this great type. This oat is a bigger, plumper and 
heavier kind. A large white type with a yielding record © 
that is sensational. Has exceeded 100 bushels per acre. 
There is money in growing such oats. You lose money — 
when you sow inferior seed. Pah 
Our seed is northern grown. The small, light, imma- 
ture and shriveled grains are removed. The cleanout in 
this process is heavy and it gives you seed stock so far 
superior to the average farm run seed that there is no 
comparison. For seeding purposes these oats would be 
cheaper at double our price than most farm run stock. 
If you want to make money from oats sow this recleaned 
seed. : Shon

Gentlemen: I have used the following seeds from 
your house: Red Clover, Mammoth Red Clover, 
Sweet Clover, Alsike and Barley. I have been well 
pleased with them all. I consider Pinnacle seeds as 
good as money can buy, and at a lower price.
