“The New Cherokee Oat 
In the picture, “Pate” Simmons is stand- 
ing’ in a strip of Cherokee Oats planted 
E alongside of Clinton. Note the big differ- 
ence in early maturity of the Cherokee, 
which was fully a week ahead of the Clinton 
at Shenandoah. i 
These oats are so new they were just 
"named. First released as CI 3846. Last year 
some folks called them Ames No. 2. The 
official name is now Cherokee. 
_ Cherokee matures five to seven days 
earlier than Clinton. It has all the good 
eatures of the Clinton, including yield, 
and none of the bad. Perfect nurse crop, 
jess foliage than Clinton, so sunlight can 
reach your legumes. Less suckering and 
illering, and good for combining. Ripens 
ore even than Clinton. This helps prevent 
im heating. Good quality, plump, heavy 
weight grain. 
Cherokee is resistant to the new helmin- 
- thosporium blight that has caused such 
heavy losses on old-fashioned oats. Resist- 
ant to rust and smut. And a good stiff 
straw that stands up well until the oats are 
fully ripened and ready for harvest. 
“a For you folks in Southern Iowa, Missouri, 
Kansas and Eastern Nebraska, we can’t say 
teo much for it. Good other places, too, 
_ where an early ripening oat is needed. 
Our Cherokees are not certified, but are 
; true to name, from carefully selected fields, 
with proper isolation and known seed stock 
arentage.

Me Grrtified Mindo Oats 
_ WMindo is a very early, yellow-white 
oat that matures as early or earlier 
than any. other variety. Introduced last 
year, it is already the leading variety 
‘in several states. 
__ It matured in our trials at Shenan-_ 
doah this year the earliest of all. A’ 
E good stiff straw holds the grain up well 
- until harvest. Average height 33 inches. 
Very little suckering. Plump, heavy 
§ weight kernels that turn out a heavy 
yield. And the extra few days Mindo 
is earlier in maturity can make a big 
_ difference in yields. Mindo is a thin 
hull oat, resistant to blight, stem rust, 
crown rust and smut.
