““WICLAND’”’ OATS (Continued) 
Pennsylvania in 1943 (classed as a disease- 
prevalent year), Vicland led Patterson by 40%, 
and Beaver by more than 20%. 
One big point about Vicland is its earliness— 
enabling it to escape late drought damage. 
Vicland produces heavy heads on short, stiff 
straw, is very resistant to lodging. This trait is 
liked by everybody using Vicland, even though 
longer-strawed oats were always popular. Vic- 
land's plenteous thin-hull heads help account for 
its high grain yield. One 1944 user (Mr. Barley, 
Blair County) reported better than 40-pound 
weight per bushel. Hoffman-customer experi- 
ence with Vicland bears out experiment station 
findings that disease-resistant Vicland outyields 
many older types by 20% to 30%. 
You notice in the above the enthusiasm of 
Hoffman customers. And there is no greater 
satisfaction in the seed business than to offer a 
worthy strain that has PROVED its ability. It 
may well be true that the time for “No more bad 
oats years’ has now arrived. Demand for this 
true northern-grown Hoffman Vicland seed will 
be heavy. Supply is not great big. Quick orders 
are urged. Both uncertified and certified Vicland 
seed is here, both fine quality—either lot well 
able to do a fine job. Let it work for you! 
HOFFMAN “‘VANGUARD”’ OATS 
Northern grown, true type, produced from regis- 
tered certified seed. For our New York State and 
New England friends who have come to greatly 
like this variety. A hardy, vigorous, good-yield- 
ing tree-type. Large, plump grain. Clean, tested, 
sound seed. Supply is limited and cannot be 
replaced. Please order Vanguard early. 
TREAT ALL SEED OATS WITH CERESAN 
This dust treatment is highly recommended by 
all authorities. Apply it to your seed, whatever 
the variety you sow. It helps increase the crop. 
Protects against oats’ enemies that might injure 
even disease-resistant types. Costs so very little.
