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 Agricultural Experiment Station at Ames. 
Iowa. 
It is an early yellow oat and has a fairly short 
stiff straw. _It has several outstanding char- 
acteristics. Is resistant to four leading oat dis- 
eases—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 growing year in and year out. 
Heavy Yielder 
In a six year test in Iowa it outyielded other 
well known varieties about 20 bushels per acre. 
In an Illinois test in 1940 it produced 104.2 
bushels per acre. Some years when conditions 
are unfavorable for oats you will find Boone 
Oats leading the parade in yields. In the sea- 
son of 1942 we had quite a little excessive mois- 
ture and the Boone Oats stood up while most 
other oats went down. : 
We are offering genuine Certified Boone Oats. 
We are urging our customers to buy these Oats 
earlier, because there will be another big demand 
for these oats-this spring. :

New Sensational Oats 


Thousands of Illinois and Iowa 
Farmers Say They Are the Best 
This is one of the newest varieties de- 
veloped at the Iowa State Experiment 
Station at Ames, Iowa. The superior 
yields and fine qualities of Tama Oats 
pronounce it one of the greatest early 
oats grown today. This variety was ob- 
tained by crossing the same oats used in 
producing the Vicland Oats. It is a se- 
lection from a Hybrid between the Vic- 
toria and Richland Oats.

Characteristics 
Tama Oats are highly resistant against crown or leaf rust, stem rust 
and loose and covered smut. Not apt to lodge on rich land. It gives 
the highest degree of performance under different weather conditions. 
Does well on any kind of soil. Not quite as tall as the Marion Oats. 
These Oats do not run out. Use the Oats you grow for seed next year 
and they will last for a number of years if you will grade your seed 
and sow good heavy seed. In normal years will weigh recleaned 35 
to 37 lbs. . Pretty heavy for early oats. 
A Champion Yielder 
At the Iowa State Experiment Stations at Ames and Kanawha, Iowa, 
during a five-year period, the Tama Oats outyielded other new well 
known varieties. Beat one variety that has an official record in TIlli- 
nois of over 100 bu. per acre. One of our cus- 
tomers who owns a farm about 35 miles west of 
Chicago, told us he sowed Certified Tama Oats last 
year and they yielded 70 bu. per acre. Pretty 
good for a poor season, when his neighbors who 
sowed. other varieties only had yields of 35 to 50 bu. 
per acre. It doesn’t take any more land and very 
little extra labor to grow Tama Oats that will out- 
yield some of the old varieties 10 to 20 bu. per 
acre. The extra yield will pay for the seed and 
then some. Buy some real seed oats and show your 
neighbors a real crop. 








New Athens, Ill. 
Gentlemen: Was certainly well pleased 
with the Alfalfa and other seeds purchased 
from you the past years. Used exactly as 
you described them in your seed catalogs and 
had splendid results from them. Hoping that 
44 > you will continue to send me good seeds, I am 
Chas. R. Hanft.
