OAT NEWS 
The plant breeders are rapidly keeping pace with the serious diseases which have 
threatened the oat crop and caused so much serious damage and loss. New oats are 
now resistant to both rust and Helminthosporium. This means less lodging, better seed- 
ings and heavy yields of oats. Many fields are by nature wet and can not be worked as 
early as oats should be planted. Try one of these new oats, especially if planting will be 
CLINTON OATS 
Seldom has a new seed development received more acclaim than these new Clinton 
Oats. They are justly deserving of this praise. The oat itself is very thin shucked, plump 
kerneled and has a high weight per measured bushel. The straw is medium in height, 
fairly stiff and because of inherit resistance to disease is very free from lodging. This is 
good news for the combiner. Without doubt supplies of Clinton Oats will be exhausted 
by spring. Order yours early and avoid disappointments.

FORVIC OATS 
A new variety which was developed by Wisconsin College. They are a lot like 
Viclands only have taller straw.

ALPHA BARLEY 
This is one of the very best grains to use as a nurse crop for either clover or alfalfa as 
it does not require so much moisture for heavy straw development. It has a good stiff 
straw, and will not smother out young seeding. A better catch of seeding usually results 
on land cropped heavily, as is the case with cabbage ground, if barley is used as a nurse 
crop. 
YIELD RECORDS 
Alpha Barley averaged 42.9 bushels per acre for seven years grown in several differ- 
ent New York counties. It outyielded all the other improved strains. Beardless and 
barbless varieties did not yield within 3 to 11 bushels as much. 
In New Jersey tests at New Brunswick, Alpha averaged 45 bushel per acre, out- 
yielding all others. 
Price—$2.90 per bu. of 48 lbs., f.o.b., Cortland, N. Y. Jute bagsfree. Double sack- 
ing 10c per bu. extra. Our seed was grown from certified stock and is unusually nice.
