HOFFMAN *‘‘VICLAND”’ OATS 
Early ... Disease-Resistant . . . 
Heavy Yielding 
That page you just turned told about great prog- 
ress in seed-oat production. About new ability 
to resist disease and give good grain yield. Here 
in this Hoffman northern-grown Vicland oats is 
a number one example of such seed. 
Thousands of Hoffman customers today know 
the exceptional value they get in hybrid seed 
corn, resulting from the Funk G breeders and 
Hoffman‘s research-proving program. . . . Here 
is a similar situation—resulting from a thorough 
hybrid-breeding background. Vicland oats has 
been developed from two strains, one a good 
old-type oats of the Midwest, the other a strain 
always very resistant to stem and leaf rust and 
certain smuts. Successful inter-breeding of de- 
velopments from these strains has produced this 
fine Hoffman Vicland seed. 
A widely spread number of Hoffman patrons 
planted Vicland seed in 1944 (anything but an 
ideal oat season). Here are notes on just a few of 
their many fine experiences. From customer 
Fehlman, Warren County, Pa.—" Your Vicland 
seed threshed 68 bushels per acre, the other oats 
made 50 bushels.” McChesney, Westmoreland 
County, reported—"The Vicland was the best 
oats we ever had.” Cullen, of Morris County, 
New Jersey, said he “was more than pleased 
with the crop.” Berry, Allegany County, liked 
his Vicland Oats best—'‘'which gave us 62 
bushels per acre." 
Vicland has proved wonderful when disease 
began to severely hurt other nearby oats. Even 
in seasons when disease was not bad, Vicland 
has often outyielded other types considerably. 
Annual records in various oat-states show Vic- 
land leading other strains from 20% to 40%. In

Temptation to save feeding hoth r 
and pasture them early, often 
proves costly. Kept in first 2 
months, barn fed, they grow c 
better—can be bred to fresh — 
around 24 months. Calves need dry 
warm pens, well. ventilated—to 
avoid scours, colds, pneumonia. 
Avoid drafty places. ‘Exercis lots, 
close to barn and feed supply, help.
