OATS 
Oats are a cool season, annual cereal with a wide adaptation to soil. 
They are grown for grain, hay, pasture, green manure and as a 
nurse crop for new grass and legume seedings. They are the third 
most important cereal crop in the northeastern states, being ex- 
ceeded only by corn and wheat. 
There is a great need for use of better seed oats to avoid unadapted 
types, disease, noxious weeds, inert matter, uneven’ size, low vitality 
and resulting low yields.
