the two worst oat diseases—leaf rust and oat blight. Their 
roots remain undamaged and continue to grow and supply 
the plant with food. The leaves remain green and continue 
to elaborate plant food for the developing grain. The straw 
stays strong and healthy and unimpaired to transport raw 
materials from root to grain. Therefore, Mohawk and Clin- 
ton produce big yields of grain and they stand up so the 
grain can be harvested. They are the stiffest strawed oats 
yet. (Of course, they lodge on extremely rich land.) The 
straw is three to six inches taller than Vicland and tall 
enough for most farmers if they want a good seeding. 
Clinton and Mohawk will take a lot of the gamble out of 
growing oats. 
For all practical purposes Mohawk and Clinton oats 
can be used interchangeably. They are “sister” oats; the 
descendants of the same two varieties, There will probably 
be differences of opinion as to which is the best oat, for 
it’s expected that there will be variable results from farm 
to farm and perhaps on the same farm. Most of the varia- 
tions will be due to differences in environment or just a 
matter of chance. However, extensive, carefully controlled
