you have been growing. Price at bottom of page.

s Franklin Oats originat- 
Fr anklin ed as a plant selection 
made in 1922 from the Fulghum variety. 
Its characteristics as compared with 
Fulghum are as follows: The straw is 
longer and decidedly stiffer, it matures 
slightly later than Fulghum, has an open 
panicle type of head, while the heads of 
typical Fulghum tend toward the side- 
head type. The color of chaff of Franklin 
oats is white while the chaff of Fulghum 
is yellow. The kernel color is like that of 
Fulghum (red). The head type and chaff 
color should make it rather easy to iden- 
tify this variety and to maintain pure 
seed stocks. Franklin oats is nearly free 
of abnormal types that occur so fre- 
quently in Fulghum. Price at bottom of 
page.

An old pieture but it tells the story well. 
In the above plots Franklin was compared to two other early 
strains of Oats. Note how well the Franklin stands and others 
have completely lodged. 
Columbia, Fulghum and Franklin make ideal nurse crops for Alfalfa. They have very few leaves, mature 
early and produce a good crop, too. One bushel seed Oats per acre with 12 pounds Alfalfa has always given 
us a good stand. Fight Canadian Thistles with Alfalfa.
