An Oat Worthy of a Good Name 
A number of years ago we sold a very outstanding oat 
under the name of Berry’s Golden Rust Proof. That was 
before the days of the hybridized oats. Since then the name 
was dropped. Now we again have a variety that is worthy 
of the name Berry’s Golden Rust Proof. It is a greatly 
superior variety. This is as sensational an improvement 
over the old oats as Hybrid Corn, Pawnee Wheat or Lin- 
coln Soybeans. No matter what kind of oats you may have 
grown in the past you should make sure to sow Berry’s 
Golden Rust Proof this year. 
_ 115.5 Bushel per Acre 
This crossed or Hybridized Oat has made yields of 115.5 bushels 
per acre of good dry oats having a test weight of 36.1 lbs. per bushel. 
We have had them run in excess of 39 lbs. per bushel. They have 
outyielded other hybridized oats like Vicland, Boone, Control, etc. 
and had better weight per bushel. Oat yields and quality will of 
course; vary according to soil and season. It is in unfavorable 
seasons that it shows exceptional superiority over the old type oats. 
See opposite column for information on disease resistance. 
Best Under Unfavorable Conditions 
There are years when cool nights and heavy dews followed by 
hot sunshine during the day cause a lot of rust trouble. That 
breaks down straw and lowers yields.. In a poor oat year Berry’s 
Golden Rust Proof will show its greatest superiority. In one year 
this crossed oat showed 15.5% increase over the best of the old 
varieties and the next year it showed 43.6% increase. That was 
a-bad rust year. In a poor, oat year prices are higher and it pays 
to sow a variety that will give you bigger yields when they count 
the most. 


. ADAPTABILITY 
Early and Strong Strawed 
Berry’s Golden Rust Proof oats mature 
early which helps avoid losses from hot 
weather. That is a big factor in many years. 
The straw is not. coarse yet very stiff. Re- 
sists lodging remarkably well. Weak strawed 
oats go down so you lose part of the crop. 
Since the straw is not coarse and not too 
tall (about 33 to 36 inches) it makes an ideal 
nurse crop. Some oats through lodging or 
heavy growth smother out clover sown with 
it or keeps the clover too tender and it dies 
out later. 
Berry’s Golden Rust Proof has everything. 
Big yields, Fine Quality, Disease Resistance, 
Strong Straw, Early Maturity. Be sure to 
grow some at our special low introductory 
prices at right. :
