NEW OAT VARIETIES 
More progress has been made with oat varieties in the last few years, than perhaps 
with any other crop. Oats have been a failure many times due to the lack of suitable 
varieties. Now the gamble is being taken out of growing oats. Try one or more of these 
new varieties which have been bred scientifically for disease resistance. 
GOLDWIN OATS 
SMUT RESISTING—HEAVY YIELDING 
CERTIFIED SEED 
Goldwin Oats were developed by hybridization at Cornell. They are a midseason 
variety with fairly tall straw. However, they are moderately resistant to lodging. They 
are highly resistant to smut and give enormous yields of grain. This is one of the few 
yellow varieties ever developed at Cornell. If sowed moderately early in the season, 
they will give wonderful results. | 
Price—$1.80 per bu.; f.o.b. Cortland, N. Y. Bags free. 
ERBAN OATS 
RUST RESISTANT 
A new Canadian variety which is resistant to a marked degree to leaf rust. The 
straw is medium in height and fairly stiff. On rich ground they are highly desirable as 
they are so free from lodging. The berries are very large and slightly yellow in color. 
They area little on the early side. They are taller than Vicland and have larger berries.

ALPHA BARLEY 
This is one of the very best grains to use asa nurse crop for either clover or alfalfa as 
it does not require so much moisture for heavy straw development. It has a good stiff 
straw, and will not smother out young seeding. A better catch of seeding usually results 
on land cropped heavily, as is the case with cabbage ground, if barley is used as a nurse 
crop. 
YIELD RECORDS 
Alpha Barley averaged 42.9 bushels per acre for seven years grown in several differ- 
ent New York counties. It outyielded all the other improved strains. Beardless and 
barbless varieties did not yield within 3 to 11 bushels as much. 
In New Jersey tests at New Brunswick, Alpha averaged 45 bushel per acre, out- 
yielding all others. 
Price—$2.90 per bu. of 48 lbs., f.o.b., Cortland, N. Y. Jute bags free. Double sack- 
ing 5c per bu. extra. Our seed was grown from certified stock and is unusually nice.
