HEAVYWEIGHT. 
The Heaviest American Oat Grown 
While in search of new varieties of Oats of value in 
the Northwest, where the best Oats are grown, we 
found, in Wyoming, several fields of a new variety 
with tall, stiff straw standing shoulder high and the 
heaviest American Oat grown. When these fields 
were threshed, the yield was over 100 bushels per acre 
and the weight over 45 pounds per measured bushel 
of pure white, thin-hulled grain. We purchased the 
entire lot, and from this source secured our stock seed 
of this, in our opimion, the heaviest and most pro- 
ductive American Oat. This was some twenty years 
ago. During that time we have distributed over 
600,000 bushels to our customers, and, wherever 
grown, It has given wonderful yields in comparison 
with other varieties grown alongside: Around 100 
bushels to the acre in New Jersey; 117 bushels in New 
England; in New York, on large areas, 80, 82, 87, 
89, 92, and up to 106 bushels, where the average 
yield is 30 bushels; and in Ohio, crops averaging 
“Just twice” the yield of common Oats have been 
reported to us by our customers. 
Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats have made wonderful 
yields for a large number of our customers In many 
states. We read of remarkable records and big yields 
of Oats in the western states, under irrigation, but 
right here, m the East, Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats 
have produced record-breaking crops. Average 
weight 40 pounds per measured bushel. Use Dibble’s 
Heavyweight Oats for your 1947 planting.

LENROC... 
Lenroc is a new variety of Oat introduced by the 
Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. 
The plant breeders at Cornell were endeavoring to 
produce white Oats that had the high-yielding ability 
of the Cornellian. This was accomplished by cross- 
ing Great American with Cornellian in 1918, and for 
seventeen years this Oat was tested in various 
localities for yield, stiffness of straw, and other 
ee characteristics before it was introduced in 
Lenroc is midseason in maturing and is one of the 
highest yielding Oats developed at Cornell. It has a 
large plump white kernel and all the characteristics 
of a desirable Oat, either for feeding or for sale. 
GOLDWIN... 
The Goldwin Oat was developed by the Plant 
Breeding Department at Cornell University and a 
limited amount was first offered for sale in 1946. 
Goldwin is a high-yieldmg, smut-resistant variety, 
has a bright yellow grain with a high per cent of meat, 
and the straw is reasonably stiff. In various state tests 
it has outyielded Lenroc and Vicland. If this Oat 
can be planted early so as to resist rust injury, there 
is no variety that will give you as good a yield. The 
supply this year is limited.

VICLAND ... 
Vicland Oats originated from a cross between 
Victoria and Richland made by T. R. Stanton of the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture at Arlington, Va., 
in 1930. A selection from this cross was sent to the 
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station m 1935. 
It was named Vicland in 1940 by H. L. Shands and 
B. D. Leith of the Wisconsin Station. 
Vicland is early in maturity and has short, fine 
straw of medium strength. It Is resistant to most 
races of smut and rust. The kernels are yellow in 
color and test weight is usually high. The variety has 
been tested for yield at the Cornell Agricultural 
Experiment Station and found satisfactory as an 
early-ripening sort. 
During the past few years rust has taken a heavy 
toll on late-sown Oats. This new disease-resistant 
variety Is especially desirable where Oats are sown 
ate in the season.
