CAROLINA RED STRAIN 1 
(Pedigreed) 
This new oat was first introduced in the 1945 season. It is the result 
of a cross between Victoria and Nortex (a Red Rustproof variety). Carolina 
Red has been tested at 30 experiment stations and results have shown that 
it should fill a definite need for a better oat of the old Appler type. Caro- 
lina Red is more cold resistant than most oats of the Red Rustproof group. 
This variety should do especially well in the southern limits for oat 
production of the Coastal Plain sections. Carolina Red oat was highest yield- 
ing variety at both the Edisto Station and Georgia Coastal Station in 1945. 
Also Carolina Red yields heavily in the Piedmont area; in the 1944 variety 
tests at Clemson this variety was high variety with a yield of 93.1 bushels 
per acre.
