further increase its value to our southern agri- 
cultural program. 
In addition to its excellent showing in our tests 
here, the parent strain of Fulgrain 5 came second 
in the 1940 Delta Experiment Station Test with 
a yield of better than 90 bushels per acre. This 
variety test record is even more significant in 
view of the showing this oat has made under 
plantation conditions in the Delta area where 
Mr. R. Morris King of Bolivar County, averaged 
95 bushels per acre on a 16-acre field, and Mr. 
Lawrence Stein of Washington County produced 
2,478 bushels on 26 acres. 
From the Hereford Journal—“The traditional 
‘Carter and his oats’, whose yield was so pro- 
lific that the acreage on which they grew would 
not accommodate stacking, almost finds a coun- 
terpart in real life on Greenwood Farms. On this 
rich, bottom land Doctor Greenwood seeded six 
acres and, believe it or not, the yield was 688 
bushels. The variety was Coker’s Fulgrain Pedi- 
greed oats, the seed being purchased from the 
Coker family of Hartsville, S. C., noted for their 
production of pedigreed seeds...”
