Lenroc is a new variety of Oat introduced by the 
Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. 
The plant breeders at Cornell were endeavoring 
to produce white Oats that had the high-yielding 
ability of the Cornellian. This was accomplished by 
crossing Great American with Cornellian in 1918, 
and for seventeen years this Oat was tested in 
various localities for yield, stiffness of straw, and 
other desirable characteristics before it was in- 
troduced in 1935. 
Lenroc is midseason in maturing and is the highest 
yielding Oat that has been developed at Cornell. 
It has a large plump white kernel and all the 
characteristics of a desirable Oat, either for feeding 
or for sale. 


Cornellian was introduced by the Cornell Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station about twenty-five years 
ago. It has proved to be a heavy and consistent 
yielder and is especially well suited to soils of or- 
dinary fertility. The kernels are more slender than 
those of the other varieties and lack awns or beards, 
but in spite of their apparently small size, the meat 
is actually larger than that of most Oats, for the hull 
is very thin. The normal color of the kernel is gray 
and will vary from light gray to dark gray, depending 
on the soil and season. As a commercial Oat this 
dark color is somewhat objectionable but for feeding 
on the farm it is of no mportance. Cornellian’s high 
meat percentage gives it a distinct advantage as a 
feed for stock and poultry, and its high-yielding 
ability makes it a favorite with those who have 
planted it.

In far-off Alaska, Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats have also given exceptionally 
good results, as the picture to the right plainly shows. 
It shows the adaptability of our Oats in other parts of the country outside our 
Northeastern States. You, too, should use Dibble’s Seed Oats, and order early 
so they can be shipped in plenty of time for early planting.
