Top Yielder—Finest Quality 
The Tama Oat has outsold all of the new varieties this past 
year and from early sales indications are it will be the most 
4 popular of all these superior varieties. Its resistance to blight 
3 se3 Ses 08 Rue’ espe” as well as rust and smut shows an improved character that 
means bigger yields and finer quality. All of the oats on these 
two pages are selections from the same cross but the Tama is 
now leading in popular favor as it seems to yield at the top 
under many varying conditions. 
Early maturity, strong straw that seldom lodges, disease re- 
sistance and plump solid heavy grain makes for big high 
quality yields. It is a leader because it has superior quality 
and performance, 
Wide Adaptability 
A three-year test in Illinois shows the wide range of territory to which 
Tamas are adapted. There is a lot of difference in conditions between 
the northern and southern part of this long state. In the northern sec- 
tion was at the top of all commercial varieties being excelled only 
slightly by Vicland and Boone. In the Central section Tamas out- 
yielded all others and in the south this was also true even excelling 
Vicland and Boone by as much as 30%. 

A Hybrid Selection 
The Tama oat is a selection from a Hybrid between Vic- 
toria, a South American oat with wonderful disease re- 
sistance, and the Richland, a heavy yielder. This combi- 
nation makes it a wonderful heavy yielding, disease re- 
sistant variety. We urge you by all means to get started 
with these great oats for you should find them very profit- 
able and satisfactory. Better quality and Bigger Profits.

ADAPTABILITY 
These are quite early in maturity. 
They have a strong stiff straw and 
stand up much better than most early 
kinds. Kernels are well filled. Color 
has a yellow cast. We consider these 
oats excellent for nearly every part of 
the country where spring oats are 
sown. We don’t believe you can beat 
Tama. In southern Iowa they are ex- 
ceedingly. popular and replacing Co- 
lumbia, Fulghums. This indicates their 
adaptability in the southern spring oat 
section. Naturally they are fine either 
east or west where similar conditions 
prevail. They are doing well in 
Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, 
Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and on east
