RANGER 
A crown rust and smut resistant variety developed for the coastal region. Of the same 
parentage as Rustler; a few days later in maturity and grows slightly taller. Primarily a 
heavy-stooling vegetative type highly recommended for grazing, but also capable of 
making a relatively good yield of grain in the Texas Coastal area. 
RUSTLER 
A cross between Nortex and Victoria, developed by the Texas Agricultural Experiment 
Station and the U. S. Department of Agriculture and distributed to Texas farmers in 
1941. Crown rust and smut resistant, one of the best varieties for grazing, and as a 
grain crop for the Gulf Coast where an early grain feed crop is needed. Plants erect, | 
free stooling, of early and uniform maturity. 
TEXAS RED 
Long the most popular oat for South Texas winter pasture but now being replaced by 
better varieties of more recent development. 
VICLAND 
A new, high-yielding, disease-resistant variety first distributed by the Wisconsin Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station in 1941. Selected from a cross between Victoria and Richland. 
Highly resistant to crown rust, leaf rust, and smut. The stalk is short and strong, adapting 
it for combining. Kernels are medium in size and well filled, with light or no awns. 
VICTORGRAIN 
Introduced by Coker Seed Co. as a crown rust and smut resistant variety of high grain 
quality. Plants of medium height, with stiff straw, earlier than Red Rust Proof. Though 
primarily a grain oat, may also be used for early grazing. 
WINTER TURF 
An old grazing variety now obsolete in Texas, but its name still remains in use among 
some growers as a synonym for other varieties which are grown for grazing.
