Heavy Yielder—Fine Quality—Early Maturity 
This is one of the heaviest yielding, largest grain, early maturing 
oats we have ever seen. Our seed stock has a 87 lb. test weight 
per bushel. Yields of 75 to 90 bushel per acre were reported

This is also a hybridized oat but of different par- 
entage than 333 or Golden Beauty. It is an early 
maturing variety, 2 or 3 days earlier than 333. THe 
straw is a little.shorter but very strong and starids 
up exceptionally well. It is resistant to most kinds 
of leaf rust and stem rust as well as to loose and 
covered smut.. They will not withstand blight as 
well as 333, Golden Beauty or Marion when that 
disease is very prevalent. Their resistance to this 
disease however, is greater than’ some susceptible 
linds. Treating the seed with Ceresan (see page 
17) will help control this disease. As a matter of 
fact all oats including resistant types should be 
treated this year. 
The grain quality of Golden Rust Proof is very 
good. We have had them test as high as 39 lbs. per 
bushel and yields of this cross have been in excess 
of 100 bushel per acre. In years when rust causes 
drastic yield reductions these oats have shown in- 
creases in yield from 15.5 to 43.6%. The strong 
character of the straw makes them suitable even 
for very rich land and they are therefore a very 
fine nurse crop. Since the straw is not too tall av- 
eraging perhaps 33 to 36 inches, they do not make 
too dense a shade for grass or clover Seedings. 
You can therefore normally expect from these oats, 
big yields; fine quality; strong straw; early ma- 
turity and resistance to rust and smut. You can 
help control blight by treating your seed as sug- 
gested. However, if you anticipate considerable 
blight trouble we suggest using the Golden Beauty, 
Berry’s 333 or Marion so long as seed is available. 
The seed we have of Golden Rust Proof is high 
germinating, heavy quality and thoroughly .re- 
cleaned stock.
