Coker’s Pedigreed 
STANTON 
STRAIN 3 OATS 
A TALL GROWING, PRODUCTIVE NEW 
STRAIN SUITED FOR GRAIN, 
HAY OR FORAGE. 
Coker’s Stanton Oat is a desirable variety for 
grain, hay or green feed. It is of medium late 
maturity and is highly resistant to cold and leaf 
rust. It combines a number of features which 
appeal to livestock feeders and dairymen. It 
grows rather tall and makes a profuse leaf 
growth which provides more green feed, more 
hay or a greater tonnage of ensilage per acre. 
Coker’s Stanton Strain 8, which is a reselec- 
tion from Strain 2, is more uniform and pro- 
ductive than its parent. 
CLEANER GRAIN AND RUST-FREE 
FORAGE 
Stanton is a heavy yielder of grain as well 
as hay, and its resistance to rust helps produce 
bigger yields of grain and rust-free forage. An 
oat which produces plenty of straw, as well as 
good yields of grain, is also desirable, as live- 
stock feeders have a use for their oat straw 
for bedding and litter and to produce abundant 
manure. This variety has long, well balanced 
heads and an attractive yellow grain. 
VARIETY TEST RECORD 
The suitability of Coker’s Stanton Oat for 
the production of either grain or hay is shown 
by the results of tests conducted under the 
supervision of the North Carolina Experiment 
Station in 1944. In an average of three tests, 
Stanton produced 6,800 pounds of hay per acre, 
tying for first place; and led all varieties in yield 
of grain in an average of 55 tests conducted over 
a three-year period throughout the state of North 
Carolina.
