CERTIFIED OATS

All Certified Oats are treated with New Improved Ceresan before shipment. 
Rust has cut the yield of oats in the northern states for the past 20 years. Two years ago we thought that 
Vicland and Erban were going to solve the problem but now we find that Vicland is attacked by an oat blight. A 
new variety called Mohawk has been released by Cornell. Mohawk is apparently resistant to both the rust and 
blight but as there is only a limited amount of Mohawk seed available this year you should order at once. 
MOHAWK: A new variety of yellow kernelled oats 
developed by the Cornell Department of Plant 
Breeding. Mohawk is about 3 inches taller than 
Vicland and matures a few days later. It is resistant 
to crown rust and to the new blight that caused so 
much damage to oats last season. In addition to 
being disease resistant, Mohawk has a very stiff 
straw and stands much better than most other varie- 
ties. In seven New York State regional trials the 
average yield of Mohawk was 85% bushels per acre. 
Orders should be placed early; supplies of seed are 
limited. Certified Seed: 1 to 15 bu. $3.50 per bu.; 
15 bu. or more $3.40 per bu., not prepaid. 
CLINTON: A new high yielding, early maturing 
variety selected from the same cross made by the 
United States Department of Agriculture as Mo- 
hawk. The difference between the two varieties is 
that Mohawk was selected to meet New York State 
conditions; Clinton was selected to meet western con- 
ditions. In comparative tests conducted by the New 
York State College of Agriculture, Mohawk seems 
to be a little better adapted to the state than Clinton. 
Clinton also has high resistance to Helmintho- 
sporium blight and rust. Certified Seed: 1 to 15 
bu. $3.40 per bu.; 15 bu. or more $3.30 per bu., 
not prepaid. 
VICLAND: Vicland is derived from a Victoria X Rich- 
land cross and was developed cooperatively by the se
