The information contained hereon is made available because of innumerable requests we have had 
from farmers, extension workers, seedmen, etc., for data accumulated by our plant breeders in their 
_ work in developing the Nortex 107 strain of oats. It is not our intention to infer that the results 
listed are conclusive in all respects. They are a fair and impartial accounting of the reactions of 
the varieties listed to identical planting, growing, and harvesting conditions on our breeding farms 
at Stoneville, Miss. During the season just completed our plant breeders have observed and com- 
piled data on the more than 7500 rows included in our Oat Tests. It is our intention to continue and 
increase our breeding and testing work in our search for ever improved, pure bred, acclimated, 
field seed.
