Farmers are clamoring for Boone Oats. Dealers write us 
“can’t you spare us some of your Boone Oats.” Agricultural 
authorities ask us if we have a good supply. Why all this 
tremendous demand? The answer is yields. Big Bumper 
yields. Also it is Quality. Disease resistance and: Consistently 
Fine Performance. Never in all of our experience have we seen 
an oat jump into such high public favor in so Short a time. 
And it-did it without any high pressure sales campaign. It has 
jumped into the limelight purely through superior merit. 
Yield Records High 
Eighty bushels per acre in an official Iowa test for an aver- 
age of six years. Once in a while there will be a good oat 
year when most oats will yield heavily. When it averages 
80 over a Six year period there, my friends, you really have 
something. It outyields many late oats over such a period. 
Illinois official test 104.4 bu. per acre. We do not know of 
a place where Boone oats were sown that it did not prove 
a dandy. The more years it is tested the better it should 
show up. When you run into bad years there is when 
Boone oats really “go to town” and usually those are 
years when prices are highest. 
A Hybrid Selection 
The Boone oat is a selection from.a Hybrid between Vic- 
toria, a South American oat with wonderful disease re- 
sistance, and the Richland, a heavy yielder. This combi- 
nation makes it a wonderful heavy yielding, disease re- 
sistant variety. We urge you by all means to get started 
with these great oats for you should find them very profit- 
able and satisfactory. Better quality and Bigger Profits. 
Prices “Certified”? seed: 25 bu. or more, $1.45 bu.; 10 to 24 
bu., $1.50 bu.; Smaller lots, $1.55 bu. Prices on seed grown 
from certified stock on Gov’t. farm, 25 bu. or more, $1.20 
bu.; 10 to 24 bu., $1.25 bu. Smaller lots $1.30 bu. 
ADAPTABILITY 
These are quite early in maturity. 
They have a strong stiff straw and 
stand up much better than most early 
kinds. Kernels are well filled. Color 
has a yellow cast. We consider these 
oats excellent for nearly every part of 
the country where spring oats are 
sown. We don’t believe you can beat 
these Boone. In southern Iowa they 
are exceedingly popular and replacing 
Columbia, Fulghums. This indicates 
their adaptability in the southern 
spring oat section. Naturally they are 
fine either east or west where similar 
conditions prevail. They should do 
well in Kansas, Nebraska, South Da- 
kota, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and on 
east to’ the Atlantic seaboard, including 
the New England states.
