VICLAND 
The New Sensational 

r 4 A field of foundation stock of Vicland Oat on the University of Wisconsin 
Hill Farm at Madison. 
““No More Bad Oat Years’”’ 
The Vicland Oat was released 2 years ago for the first time commercially and stocks sold out 
long before planting season with prices rising to over $5.00 per bushel. This year stocks are 
larger, but because of the outstanding performances of this new Oat, the demand will again 
be especially heavy. Order early so as not to be disappointed. 
_ Vicland was developed by plant breeders of the University of Wisconsin and the United 
States Department of Agriculture, It is a cross between Victoria, a South American Oat, and 
Richland, a variety that originated in Russia. It is an early yellow, short straw variety, high 
in bushel weight. [It is very resistant to the forms of rust commonly found in this region 
and is also very resistant to smut. -On fertile soil, the straw will attain a good height, but 
on soils low in fertility, we do not recommend it as the straw is apt’ to be too short to cut 
with a binder, It goes through a long dormancy period after harvest and will stand in the 
shock for a long period without germinating, This is a distinct advantage in rainy weather, 
Reports from Wisconsin certified seed producers in 1941 and 1942 show an average increase 
in yield of one-half over yields of the varieties commonly grown in the same neighborhood. 
This also checks with the records of the Experiment Station. teports of yields of over .100 
bushels per acre. are not uncommon. 
The Government is urging greater production. Plant Vicland if you want larger Oat yields,

“The Vicland Oats we purchased from you last year went 100. bushels to the acre on muck land. 
We were well pleased with them.” Geo. Isherwood & Son. Wis. 
“T am very glad that I put in the Vicland Oats for I had an average of about 50 bushels to 
the acre. This is about twice the yield of other kinds around here this year.’
