Big Demand—Supply Limited 
These are the oats 200,000 farmers wanted last 
year, but there were not enough to go around, 
They sold in some localities as high as $10.00 per 
bushel. There are about enough to sow a reason- 
able acreage this year, but there will be no surplus. 
Last season when growers-were harvesting their 
Clinton Oats, their neighbors and friends from far 
and near came to buy these oats for sowing this 
Spring. . 
Disease and Blight Resistant - 
These oats are definitely resistant to Helmintho- 
sporium which is a blight disease. The leading 
varieties the past few years were Boone, Tama and 
Vicland until last year when they were hit bad by 
this blight disease. Some only yielded 20 and 25 
bushels per acre, while the famous Clinton Oats 
yielded 50 and 80 bushels per acre and it was not 
too good an oat year. We have discontinued selling 
these old varieties which were so popular the past 
few years. The Clintons are cheaper at five dollars 
per bushel than the Tama and Vicland at $1.25 per 
bushel, 
Clintons Resistant to Other Diseases 
They are also resistant to stem rust. There are 
82 races of this rust and Clintons are resistant to 
76 of these. They are resistant to races 8 and 10, 
which have been causing the. biggest reduction in 
oat yields-in recent years. Clinton Oats are also 
highly resistant to both loose and covered smuts.

We do not claim they are a thousand per cent per- 
fect, but we believe they are the nearest oat to 
being perfect that has been developed so far. 
Superior Characteristics of 
Clinton Seed Oats 
It is an extra heavy yielding oat. Over 114 bu. 
per acre are reported in Iowa. Has thinner hull 
than average oats, Has a large berry and high 
feeding value. It has extra stiff straw and stands 
up when other oats are down. Seldom lodge and 
are adapted to a wide range of soil conditions. 
The Clintons are about a day or two later than the 
Tama and Vicland, and 8 days earlier than the 
Marion. They do not shatter when dead ripe and 
are wonderful oats for combining. Will produce 
well from western states to Atlantic Coast and 
south to Virginia. Only requires a seeding of 
around 2 bushels per acre. In 1946 many farmers 
sowed 1% bu. per acre and obtained yields of 70 
to 100 bushels per acre, 
The Clintons are real money makers. -You can 
sell a lot of your crop to your neighbors for seed 
right from the combine.

CERTIFIED FORVIC OATS 

Recleaned and Treated 
Forvic is a new variety of high yielding oats de- 
veloped at the Wisconsin Experiment Station in 
cooperation with the United States Department of 
Agriculture. This variety is adapted to a wide range 
of soils although best yields have been obtained 
in the Northern States. Reports from Wisconsin 
rowers are enthusiastic and yields in excess of 100 
Bu. per acre have been obtained. In comparative 
yield tests Forvic has out-yielded other varieties 
including Tama, Vicland and Boone up to 50%. This 
oat matures about two days later than Vicland and 
ripens very uniformly. It shatters very little when 
ripe and stands up well making it an ideal oat for 
combining. -The hull is very thin and is almost 
white in color. Test weights up to 42 lbs. per bu. 
have been reported. 




Sheridan, Indiana. 
Gentlemen: I have used the following seeds from 
your house: Red Clover, Mammoth Red Clover, 
Sweet Clover, Alsike and Barley. I have been well 
pleased with them all. I consider Pinnacle seeds as 
good as money can buy, and at a lower price, 
Yours very truly, 
(Signed) Cc. BR. Hunt. 






Start Growing Forvics This Year 
The Forvic Oats, being a cross between the For- 
ward and Richland-Victoria, were bred for resist- 
ance to smuts, rust, and other diseases, especially 
race 45 and Leaf Smut. This variety was released 
for certification in Wisconsin only and as a result 
production has been very limited. The Seed which 
we have contracted is all certified having met the 
rigid specifications required for certification and the 
high quality of this seed will please even the most 
eritical buyer, ; 
Forvics will be in great demand so be the first in 
your neighborhood to raise these amazing new oats. 
Your neighbors will all want to try them after they 
see them grown. REMEMBER, this seed has all 
been treated against diseases which are prevalent 
in most varieties of oats.
