A GREAT DISEASE RESISTER 
A Most Outstanding New Variety 
This heavy-yielding, early-maturing, dis- 
ease-resisting oat was not released until 1943 
and the farmers in the territory where it was 
released think there is nothing else like it. Last year 
we received scores of letters from farmers asking: 
“Can’t you get me some Cedar Oats.” It’s no use 
talking ‘Tama, Vicland or Boone to these farmers. 
They Want Cedars and they don’t mean maybe. Now 
we have them—Fine, Beautiful, Heavy, recleaned, 
.high germinating, State Certified seed. 
These oats have come from the same section that developed 
the famous Pawnee winter wheat that has produced such sensa- 
tional yields the past few years and is rapidly replacing other 
wheat. Cedar Oats are developed by the Nebraska Experiment 
Station in cooperation with U. S. Dept. of Agriculture and the 
Iowa Station, It is a crossed or hybridized variety. 
Heavy Yielding—High Quality 
Farmers who have seen these oats growing have been impressed 
by their fine quality as well.as heavy yields, The test weight is 
higher than that of other standard varieties. The maturity is 
quite early. The straw is stiff and they stand up very well. In 
the average of 7 years testing at Lincoln it exceeded all standard 
varieties by as much as 34 percent. In unfavorable seasons the 
superiority of Cedars is even more pronounced. The great de- 
mand that has come for Cedar Oats is due purely and simply 
to their performance. They haven’t been widely advertised but 
farmers who have seen them growing say there is no other oat 
to equal it. 
Disease Resistance 
Cedars are resistant to most races of stem rust, crown rust 
and smut. This gives better crop imsurance in seasons when 
weather is unfavorable. You can expect those oats to be superior 
to standard varieties in all years and especially so in poor oat 
years. We have only a limited supply of these State Certified 
Cedars so please order promptly. 1-9 bu., $1.85; 10-24 bu., HH 80; 
25 bu. or over $1.75 F.O.B. Clarinda, bags free. 







YIELDING 
TAMA 
This is perhaps the best known of 
the hybridized oats. It is widely 
adapted and is a very good selec- 
tion for any part of the spring oat 
territory. The Tama gives early ma- 
turity, strong straw that seldom 
lodges, disease resistance, plump, 
heavy grains and big yields. By 
making a cross between Victoria and 
Richland an oat has been obtained 
that carries the best characteristics of both 
parents. Hybridized oats are different from 
Hybrid corn. They do not run out. You can 
get maximum results for many years once you 
start with quality seed. 
These Tama Oats are resistant to rust and 
smut. They stand up under adverse conditions 
and deliver fine yields. You can be definitely 
assured of getting a superior oat when you 
order Tamas. We will have both Certified 
and non-Certified seed. Both will be of high 
germination, well recleaned as low as $1.35 
per bushel. See page 41. Certified Tama and 
Certified Vicland Oats can be shipped from 
Illinois to save on freight for Eastern custom- 
ers.
