NEW & BETTER SEED GRAINS for the NORTH 
Oats for the North | 
-VICLAND OATS 
Originated from a cross between Victoria and 
Richland and one of 33 strains from the Vic- 
toria x Richland cross, sent to the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station in 1935, that had been se- 
lected at the Aberdeen Substation, Aberdeen, 
Idaho in 1984. Selection No. 5545-16 was 
named Vicland in 1940 by the Wisconsin Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station. 
Vicland is an early-maturing, open-panicled, 
yellow-grained oat with high weight per bushel. 
It has short straw, and is as resistant to lodging, 
or more so than Gopher. 
It is resistant to the now prevalent races of 
stem and crown rusts and the smuts occurring in 
the North Central States. Vicland has out- 
yielded other varieties by approximately 20%, 
on the average, and appears to have wide adapta- 
tion. 
Recommended by Minnesota Hxperiment 
tion. See Blue Figure Price List. 
TAMA OATS 
Tama Oats is a result of a Victoria-Richland 
eross by U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Developed 
cooperatively by the Iowa Experiment Station 
and the U. 8. Dept. of Agriculture. 
An early yellow grained oat with short stiff 
straw and high weight per bushel. 
Superior characters are early maturity, high 
yield, and satisfactory resistance to nearly all 
races of crown rust, stem rust, and the smuts of 
oats. Vietoria parent provides resistance to 47 
of the 51 races of crown rust known to occur in 
North America. Recommended by Minnesota Ex- 
periment Station. See Blue Figure Price List. 
HARVEST VICLAND & 
TAMA WHEN RIPE! 
Many farmers experienced difficulty in storing 
their crops of Vicland and Tama Oats, due to 
cutting it too early. These varieties should be- 
come fully ripe before harvesting. In past years, 
it has been the general practice with older va- 
rieties, to harvest oats ‘‘on the green side.’’ 
But, in many cases, the 1944 crop of Vicland 
and Tama Oats tested low in germination due to 
‘“‘heating’’ in the bin. As a result considerable 
oats now being offered for seed is musty and 
of unsatisfactory germination. Insist on our 
Sta.

oats crop in 1945,

Spring Wheat 
NEW REGENT WHEAT 
Regent is a beardless, early maturing, high- 
yielding variety having very strong straw. It 
is the result of a H44 x Reward cross made at 
‘the Dominion Rust Laboratory at Winnipeg, 
Canada. It is resistant to stem and leaf rust 
and to bunt, moderately resistant to loose 
smut, but is susceptible to scab. 
Regent has a higher test weight than That- 
cher and appears about equal to it in milling 
and baking quality. Recommended for growing 
on heavy soils in western and northwestern 
Minnesota, and similar territories. Registered by 
American Society of Agronomy. Recommended 
by Minnesota Experiment Station. See Blue 
Figure Price List. 
NEW RIVAL WHEAT 
Rival is the result of a Ceres x (Hope-Flor- 
ence) cross made at the North Dakota Station. 
It’s a bearded, mid-season, high-yielding, hard, 
red spring wheat. Plant is mid-tall and ker- 
nels are quite large. It is moderately resistant 
to stem and leaf rust. It is resistant to bunt 
and loose smut, moderately susceptible to scab, 
and susceptible to black chaff. Rival has a 
higher bushel weight than Thatcher and ap- 
pears equal in milling and baking quality. 
Rival is recommended for southern Minne- 
sota largely because it is less susceptible to 
scab than other varieties. Approved for reg- 
istration by American Society of Agronomy. 
Recommended by Northwest and Minnesota 
Crop Improvement Associations, and Minnesota 
Experiment Station. See Blue Figure Price 
List. 
Best Winter Wheat 
New MARMIN Winter WHEAT 
A bearded winter wheat similar to Minturki 
in yielding ability, winter hardiness, disease 
resistance and time of maturity. It has higher 
harder texture, and produces 
whiter flour than Minturki. Because of this 
better milling quality and higher bushel weight, 
Marmin will probably grade higher on the mar- 
ket. A Minturki and Marquis cross. Rec- 
ommended by Minnesota Experiment Station.

MINTURKI WINTER WHEAT 
A bearded, white chaffed, stiff strawed va- 
riety of the Turkey type. I+ is early-maturing; 
yields well, is somewhat resistant to stem rust, 
and moderately resistant to bunt, loose smut, 
and fusarial head blight, but is moderately sus- 
ceptible to leaf rust. It is a very hardy 
winter variety. A cross of Turkey and Odessa.

tion, Write for prices in August. 


Winter Rye 
New Imperial Wisconsin No. 6 
This new hardy, high yielding Winter Rye 
was developed by selection at the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station, (Wis. Ped. No. 6). It 
differs from the older pedigree ‘strains in being 
pure for colorless seed and is often called 
‘“white rye.’’ The five-year average yield for 
this excellent variety at the Waseca Experi- 
ment Station is 47 bu. per acre—a most out- 
standing record of performance. It is well 
adapted for all regions of Minnesota and the 
-Northwest and has been so superior in per- 
formance that it has been placed on the 
recommended list by the Minnesota Experiment 
Station. Write for prices in August. 



The Newest in Barley 
NEW “L” BARLEY 
Resistant to Stem Rust 
New ‘‘L’’ or Kindred Barley was discovered 
as a single plant in a field of Wis. 37 Barley 
near Kindred, North Dakota. This entire field 
of barley was being plowed under because of a 
poor crop due to severe stem-rust damage, when 
this single plant, entirely free from rust, was 
noticed. Seed was saved and increased until it 
is now available to Northwest farmers. 
It matures 3 days earlier than Wisconsin 38 
Barley, and produced 16 bu. per acre MORE 
YIELD than Wisconsin 38 in Minnesota Experi- 
ment Station Tests! ‘‘L’’ Barley is a 6-rowed, 
rough awned variety of white aleurone. It’s very 
high in yield, with good test weight and satis- 
factory malting quality. It has high resistance 
to stem rust, but only moderate resistance to 
lodging. 
GET EXTRA PROFIT 
FROM GRAIN CROPS 
Six to 18% bigger 
yields of grain crops ob- 
tained when seed wheat, 
oats, and barley were 
treated with Improved 
Ceresan! 
Ceresan controls va- 
rious smuts, bunts, root 
rots, and other diseases : 
which are spreading at aaa 
such an alarming rate, that they now 
cost Northwest farmers an annual loss 
running into millions of dollars! 
Boost your yields,—improved stand 
and quality by this simple dust treat- 
ment which costs but a few cents an 
acre (2% cents to treat a bushel of 
seed grain or flax). 
It’s easy to apply with a homemade 
treater or by the simple shovel method. 
Measuring spoon included in each can. 
Improved Ceresan is a dry powder—no 
wet and swollen grain to handle—does 
not affect planting rate or cause trouble 
in the drill. Can be applied to well- 
cured seed 6 months before planting if 
desired.
