great increase in the demand for this variety. We have tried to

HEAVY 
YIELDING 
BOONE 
An oat with a record of yield that few can 
equal. An official Illinois test shows 104.4 
bushel per acre. In Iowa for an average of 
six years of eighty bushel per acre. When- 
ever you get an oat that will yield like that 
over a six year average you have a good 
variety to choose as your main crop oat. It 
is a selection of a cross that produced ‘all four 
varieties we handle and rates high in the 
characteristics that make these oats so prof- 
itable to grow. 
high degree of resistance to crown and 
leaf rust and loose and covered smut. In 
years when these diseases are common Boone 
oats are at their best. In normal years they 
also outyield. Their very strong straw makes 
them suitable to the richest land. That*does 
not mean however, that they are only for 
rich land as Boone Oats are popular on a 
lot of soils and adapted to a wide area. 
These oats will not “run out” if you will 
keep them free of mixture with other oats 
and grains and by screening your seed and 
sowing good plump stock you should get top 
yields for years to come. All of our seed is 
new crop, recleaned, tested and guaranteed.

OATS 
In yield, quality and disease resistance they rank at the top. 
Weare fortunate in having this variety estab- 
lished at the Clarinda institution. Farmers 
around here are enthusiastic about them. With 
a local supply we can select our seed stocks from the best 
fields. Invariably these oats show a heavy test weight 
and with our further cleaning and grading we produce 
fine quality seed stock that pleases exacting buyers. Such 
seed is always profitable to sow. While not certified as 
explained in the opposite column this is first class seed 
in every way. 
As a further description would state that the Control 
are very similar to the Boone and whatever we have 
stated concerning the Boone would also apply to the 
Control. They are an exceptionally heavy yielder, rust 
resistant and a variety that has proven very popular. 
They stand up well, are adapted to either heavy 
low land or upland. The color of the Oats is 
slightly yellow, straw color, extra heavy weight 
and a variety that cannot help but please. 
They have proven an exceptionally popular vari- 
ety in this territory and we do not hesitate to 
recommend them in the highest terms. We feel 
sure they will please and if you desire an extra 
good variety, one producing not only high yields 
but excellent quality this variety will answer your 
requirements. The seed we have this year is ex- 
ceptionally fine seed stock and is one of the new 
varieties sometimes known as a hybrid, the same 
as the other varieties listed. 
Price 25 bu. or more $1.40 per bu.; 10 to 25 bu. 
$1.45 per.bu.; less than 10 bu. $1.50 per bu.
