HEAVYWEIGHT. 
The Heaviest American Oat Grown 
While in search of new varieties of Oats of value in 
the Northwest, where the best Oats are grown, we 
found, in Wyoming, several fields of a new variety 
with tall, stiff straw standing shoulder high and the 
heaviest American Oat grown. When these fields 
were threshed, the yield was over 100 bushels per acre 
and the weight over 45 pounds per measured bushel 
of pure white, thin-hu'led grain. We purchased the 
entire lot, and from this source secured our stock seed 
of this, in our opinion, the heaviest and most pro- 
ductive American Oat. This was some twenty years 
ago. During that time we have distributed over 
600,000 bushels to our customers, and, wherever 
grown, it has given wonderful yields in comparison 
with other varieties grown alongside: Around 100 
bushels to the acre in New Jersey; 117 bushels in New 
England; in New York, on large areas, 80, 82, 87, 
89, 92, and up to 106 bushels, where the average 
yield is 30 bushels; and in Ohio, crops averaging 
“Sust twice” the yield of common Oats have been 
reported to us by our customers. 
Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats have made wonderful 
yields for a large number of our customers in many 
states. We read of remarkable records and big yields 
of Oats in the western states, under irrigation, but 
right here, in the East, Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats 
have produced record-breaking crops. Average 
weight 40 pounds per measured bushel. Use Dibble’s 
Heavyweight Oats for your 1948 planting. Sow 2144 
to 3 bushels per acre.

LENROC... 
Lenroc is a new variety of Oat introduced by the 
Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. 
The plant breeders at Cornell were endeavoring to 
produce white Oats that had the high-yielding ability 
of the Cornellian. This was accomplished by cross- 
ing Great American with Cornellian in 1918, and for 
seventeen years this Oat was tested in various 
localities for yield, stiffness of straw, and other 
on characteristics before it was introduced in 
Lenroc Is midseason in maturing and is one of the 
highest yielding Oats developed at Cornell. It has a 
large plump white kernel and all the characteristics 
of a desirable Oat, either for feeding or for sale. Sow 
2% bushels per acre. 
GOLDWIN ... 
The Goldwin Oat was developed by the Plant 
Breeding Department at Cornell University and a 
limited amount was first offered for sale in 1946. 
Goldwin is a high-yielding, smut-resistant variety, 
has a bright yellow grain with a high per cent of meat, 
and the straw is reasonably stiff. In various state tests 
it has outyielded Lenroc and Vicland. If this Oat 
can be planted early so as to resist rust injury, there 
is no variety that will give you as good a yield. The 
supply this year is limited. Sow 214 bushels per acre.

Mohawk oats (on the left) standing erect and not injured by 
blight or rust. A good crop of heavy grain. Vicland oats (on 
the right) badly affected by blight and rust. A poor crop of 
lightweight grain. 
MOHAWK 
The Mohawk Oat was released by Cornell Uni- 
versity to seed producers in 1947 and is now available 
to Oat growers for 1948 planting. Mohawk has 
exceptionally high yielding ability with high resis- 
tance to Helminthosporium blight and rust, which 
makes it a very dependable variety. Very stiff straw, 
early maturing, medium height, and heavy meaty 
kernel. A variety of wide adaptation, highly recom- 
mended for all sections of our territory. An excellent 
sort with which to make seedings. On fertile dairy 
farms where many other Oats tend to lodge, Mohawk 
has shown very good standability. We feel that it 
will replace Vicland. While there will not be enough 
seed for everybody this year, we urge our customers 
to try a few bushels. Sow 7 to 8 pecks per acre. 
CLINTON ... 
The Clinton Oat was developed by the Iowa 
Experiment Station and like Mohawk is resistant to 
blight and rust. It is very similar to Mohawk in 
performance and adaptation. Sow 2 bushels per acre.
