VICLAND OATS 
A new early-maturing oat selected at the Wisconsin Agricultural | 
Experiment Station from a cross of Victoria and Richland. 
DESCRIPTION 
Early-maturing, heads branching, stiff straw. Grain yellow, fairly 
thin hull, very high test weight, excellent for milling or feeding. 
Straw shorter than Vanguard. Very resistant to lodging. 
IMPORTANT 
The Vicland oat is resistant to stem rust, crown rust and the 
smuts. 
COMPARATIVE TESTS 
In Minnesota, the Vicland and the Tama have outyielded other 
varieties by approximately 20 per cent. The Tama resembles the 
Vicland as it has similar parentage. The Wisconsin College of Agri- 
culture reports that in trials by Wisconsin growers in 1941 and 1942 
the Vicland showed an average yield of 73 bushels per acre compared 
with 47 bushels for other varieties. 
Vicland is a variety to be recommended to farmers wanting an 
early-maturing oat and one that will not lodge. It ripens about 
10 days earlier than the Victory and other late-maturing varieties. 
Not suitable for light, sandy soil.
