BOONE OATS 
GENUINE CERTIFIED 
A new variety that is making big news over the country today. An oat 
that has proven to be one of the top yielders over other well known varieties. 
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 
Agricultural Experiment Station at Ames, Iowa. 
It is an early yellow oat and has a fairly short stiff straw. Is resistant to 
four leading oat diseases—crown or leaf rust, loose smut, covered smut and 
stem rust. Of greatest importance is its resistance to crown rust, because this 
‘disease breaks out severely every 3 or 4 years. 
While the Boone Oat is comparatively a new variety originating in Iowa, its 
popularity has spread to Illinois and other States. The qualifications of 
these oats described above is convincing evidence that it is an oat that is one 
of the best for growing year in and year out. 




















Heavy Yielder 
In a six year test in Iowa it outyielded other well known early and medium 
early varieties about 20 bushels per acre. In an Illinois test in 1940 it pro- 
duced 104.2 bushels per acre. Some years when conditions are unfavorable 
for oats, you will find Boone Oats leading the parade in yields. Many farmers 
report Boone Oats are outyielding other well known varieties from 15 to 25 
bushels per acre.

by the Wis. College of Agriculture in 1941 for seed production. Wisconsin Experi- 
ment Station says as follows: ‘“Vicland is a short strawed yellow oat. Has a high 
degree of resistance to rusts and smuts. Is early maturing, whereby it usually 
ripens ahead of hot dry weather. High weight per bushel.’ These oats have made 
a favorable showing in other states which show they are adapted over a wide range.
