No Hulls—All 
Meat 
This is radically different 
from ordinary varieties. 
® The grain threshes out sim- 
ilar to rye only the grain 
is softer. No waste of hulls. 
Feeding value is higher. 
They will yield well often 
exceeding many of the bet- 
ter types of hulled oats in 
production. Considering the 
absence of hulls and in- 
creased food value the 
actual returns are large 
even though a smaller num- 
ber of pounds are produced. 
You will like this remark- 
able variety.

A new variety that is making big news 
over the country. It does not take any high- 
pressure talk to sell these oats in localities 
where they have been grown. Boone is 
selected from the progeny cross between 
Victoria and Richland, made by the U. S. 
Dept. of Agriculture and the Iowa Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station at Ames, Iowa. 
It, is an early yellow oat and has a fairly short stiff 
straw. It has several outstanding characteristics. Is re- 
sistant to four leading oat diseases—crown or leaf rust, 
loose smut, covered smut and stem rust. While the 
Boone Oat is comparatively a new variety originating in 
Iowa, its popularity has spread to Illinois and other 
States.. Boone is an oat that is one of the best for grow- 
















These Columbia Type 
Oats are very popular in 
many sections of the middle 
west. Many farmers boost 
‘them. Many claim they 
yield 10 to 25 bushels more 
than some of the old type 
of oats they have been rais- 
ing. They are a develop- 
ment of the Fulghum, but 
are much earlier. Columbia

In a six year test in Iowa it outyielded other well known repare

years weigh around 35 to 37 
pounds. 
We select our seed 
carefully and get the 
best producing strain 
for you. Since the 
grain is soft it is a 
little more easily af- 
fected by smut. For 
that reason we treat 
our seed with copper 
carbonate which kills 
smut and thus pro- 
duces clean high qual- 
ity stands. You see we 
take special care to 
see that you get the fin- 
est seed that will give 
you the greatest possible 
yields of first quality 
grain. See page 32 for 
prices. 
varieties about 20 bushels per acre. In an Illinois test in 1940 
it produced 104.2 bushels per acre. Some years when condi- 
tions are unfavorable for oats you will find Boone Oats lead- 
ing the parade in yields. In the season of 1942 we had quite 
a little excessive moisture and the Boone Oats stood up while 
most other oats went down. 













We are offering gen- 
uine Certified Boone 
Oats. We are urging 
our customers to buy 
these Oats earlier, be- 
cause we doubt if we 
will be able to get 
sufficient quantity to 
carry us through the 
spring season.
