SEED OATS 
Seed oats for many years have been one of our Specialties, usually selling from 25,000 
to 40,000 bushel a year. This year we had heavy rains at harvest time which discolored 
all our oats. This was while they were still standing, we cut dry, are heavy weight and 
show good germination, but do not look so good. 
Usually we have five or six varieties, but this year we put out mostly all the new Marion 
oat which we have found from previous years was the best oat we could plant. In the past 
have ers many Columbia, State Pride, Gopher, and Iowar , but this year only offer four 
varieties. 
We are one of the largest 
handlers of seed oats in the 
United States. Have about 
30,000 bushels on hand at this 
time. We had more acreage 
of oats certified in Illinois 
than any other grower. 

MARION OATS 
A very resistant oat to both stem and leaf rust. This alone makes it a very desirable 
oat to plant as often the oat crop is greatly reduced by rust. Medium height, good straw 
stands up well, a high yielder of heavy, fine quality white oats. The best variety for feed- 
ing or cereal use. This year we had a 35 acre field of Marion oats which yielded 92 bush- 
el per acre and this was not a good oat year. Many fields did not make over 25 bushel per 
acre, 
We had four fields of Marion oats, all of which stood up well compared with other vari- 
eties. Had a forty acre field of Columbia oats that went down so badly that we gave one- 
half the crop to get it combined, as could do nothing with it with a binder. We cut all of 
our grain with a binder and thresh with our own threshing machine, which we use only on 
our own farms. In this way we do not get our seed mixed such as a threshing machine 
- going from one farmer to another. Also have much better quality than if combined. 
PRICE: Up to 25 bushel ....$1.00 bu. 
25 to 100 bushel.... .95 bu. Bags holding 4 bushel 18¢ each. 
TAMA OATS 
This is the newest and best of the new Oats which were produced at Ames, Iowa, Experi- 
mental Station in connection with the United States Department of Agriculture. Marion, 
Boone and Tama are new Oats and three of the best varieties. 
Sorry we have no seed for this variety to sell, but we expect to put out about 250 acres of 
this new Oat this season and should have several thousand bushels of Certified Tama Oats 
next year. Please do not forget this new Oat in planting your next year’s crop. 
CERTIFIED WISCONSIN STATE PRIDE No. 7 
This cat is 4 or 5 days later than the Columbia, maturing about 
the same time as the Marion. Produces more straw than any other 
variety we have. While it grows rather tall, it usually stands up 
very well. The oats we have came from the Agricultural College, 
Madison, Wisconsin, a year ago last spring. 
This shows Wisconsin State Pride No. 7 grown on one of our 
farms which was on very rich land. At the time this picture was 
taken, these oats were 65 inches high, but stood up perfectly. This 
is a variety we have grown for many years with excellent results 
and one we consider the best for an all-round oat. 

CERESAN 
Every bushel of Wheat, Barley or Oats should 
be treated with Ceresan. Increases yields from 2 
to 5 bushels per acre. Much better to use than 
Formaldehyde which may destroy germination of 
your seed. Seed grains can be treated weeks in 
advance of seeding with Ceresan with no damave 
to the seed. Ceresan not only kills smut but kills 
MW Geresan + stripe and other seed-horn diseases. 
peated Prices: lb. can, treats 32 bushels of grain, 80¢ : 
esa 5-lb. can, treats 160 bushels of grain, $3.25. 

4¢— Ceresan Treated Seed Produces Bigger Yields.
