NEW--CLINTON OATS--NEW 
Resists Lodging — Heavy Yield — High Bushel Weight 
Clinton Oats has been grown for several years in states west of Ohio with unusually heavy yields and almost 
perfect field performance. It is definitely resistant to the diseases that have been causing almost complete 
failure of most Oats varieties. We have observed Clinton growing for two seasons and frankly marvel at the 
big rugged straw that makes it stand so well even after it matures. This makes it a most ideal kind for 
combining. Yields have been way above average in every locality in which it has been grown. It seems this 
has been the first variety introduced for many years that has really been dependable over a wide area. It is 
of mid-season maturity which allows you to almost go directly from your wheat to the Oats. Price per bu. $3.00. 
Cc | bi This variey is one of the few kinds that has given satisfactory performance the last few 
olumpbpId years. This stason our Columbia produced around 60 bushels per acre of heavy good 
quality Oats. It is an early kind, maturing immediately after wheat. Slightly gray in color. Straw not too 
‘heavy and must be combined as soon as ripe. Excellent as nurse crop for legumes. Price per bushel, $2.25.

extreme cases. The grain is large and plump. Huli is thin and grinds easily. This is a year when every effort 
should be made to insure a heavy crop. We have priced our oats low to give you every advantage possible. Your 
increased yield will pay you many times for having used Wayne seed. Order as soon as you know your 
requirements as our stock of good seed is not large. Price $2.50 per bushel.
