Dr. George J. Wilds, President of our Company, and Dr. T. R. Stanton, Chief Agronomist in Charge of 
U.S. D. A. Oat Investigations, are well pleased with the performance of the Coker Stanton variety. 
Coker’s PEDIGREED STANTON OATS—STRAIN 1 
Coker’s Stanton oat is a desirable variety for 
grain, hay or green feed. It is of medium late 
maturity and is highly resistant to cold, smut and 
leaf rust. It combines a number of features which 
appeal to livestock feeders and dairymen. It 
makes a profuse leaf and grows rather tall which 
provides more green feed, more hay or a greater 
tonnage of ensilage per acre. 
CLEANER GRAIN AND RUST-FREE FORAGE 
Stanton is a heavy yielder of grain as well as 
hay and its resistance to rust and smut helps 
produce bigger yields of cleaner grain and rust- 
free forage. An oat which produces plenty of 
straw, as well as good yields of grain, is also 
desirable as livestock feeders have a use for their 
oat straw for bedding and litter and to produce 
abundant manure. This variety has stiff straw 
and well balanced heads which give it good storm 
resistance, 
COMBINES BEST QUALITIES OF BOTH 
PARENTS 
Stanton is bred from a cross of two varieties, 
Lee x Victoria. The Lee is highly productive, cold 
resistant 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 production record than either parent. 
VARIETY TEST RECORD FAVORABLE 
In a three-year test Stanton averaged 79.1 
bushels per acre against an average of 57.2 for 
Lee, 60.8 for Nortex and 72.4 for Fulgrain
