Chicago, told us he sowed Certified Tama Oats last 
year and they yielded 70 bu. per acre. Pretty 
good, when his neighbors who sowed other varie- 
ties had yields of 35 to 50 bu. per acre. It doesn’t 
take any more land and very little extra labor to 
grow Tama Oats that will outyield some of the old 
varieties 10 to 20 bu. per acre. The extra yield 
will pay for the seed and then some. Buy some real 
seed oats and show your neighbors a real crop.
