20 American Field Seed Co., Chicago., Ill. : : a ee 

Clinton 59 is the newest improved selection of the original Clinton, being intro- 
duced this year for commercial distribution for the first time. It .comes from the 
same source as the original Clinton and retains all of the’ desirable characteristics 
of that great variety plus several new advantages which will make it a valde 
addition to your seeding program for this spring. ; e Zi 
HIGHER YIELDS / bag 
Higher yields have been obtained in comparative tests with most other’ varieties 
in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. The grain matures at the same time which means 
less shattering at harvest time and less danger of spoilage from storing inamature 
grain. The original Clinton did not mature evenly and many farmers experienced 
the difficulty of storing that variety without losing some of the grain due to heating. 
A few of the grain heads would still carry a high moisture content*when combined 
and unless proper precautions were taken in storing much ‘of the grain would 
become moldy due this excess moisture. The Clinton 59 grows to a very uniform 
height which makes’ combining easier. It matures about one to two. days before 
the old type D69x Bond selections. 3 ee el Be 
RAISE 59’s THIS YEAR 
We recommend changing to Clinton 59 this year for increased profits and higher 
yields. If you are still raising the old varieties of the Victoria strain such as 
Vicland, Tama and Boone your chances of a good oat crop.this year are poor due 
to heavy infestations of Helminthosporium Blight. Clinton 59 is resistant to blight, . 
rust and most races of smut. The small additional cost of planting will be offset ~ 
by additional yields and better quality of grain. Supplies are limited. 
Price: 1 to 9 Bu., $2.60 Bu.; 10 to 24 Bu., $2.55 Bu.; 25 to 45 Bu., $2.50 Bu. *

CANADIAN BEAVER OATS "Avy 
CERTIFIED | | | NORTHERN 
The Beaver oat is a selection from a cross of Erban and Vanguard and was first — 
introduced in Canada in 1945. Since that time it has shown outstanding promise 
in the northern corn-belt area. In northern Illinois and Iowa it outyielded the Clin- 
ton and Benton in several tests. Reports from Wisconsin growers last year were 
enthusiastic. Yields in excess of 100 bu. per acre were recorded, with test weights 
as high as 43 lbs. per bushel. | 5 
Fine Feeding Variety 
Beaver is a thin-hulled oat yet the kernel is meaty and very heavy.» Most ‘era. 
ers who have raised it report that it is a better feeding oat than the Clinton and, 
Benton strains. The grain is similar in appearance to the parent Vanguard, bo 
ever, the Beaver is resistant to most diseases which have been a serious factor 
the midwest for the past few years. The straw strength of the Beaver is ciamiiae 
to other new strains. It is resistant to races 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 12 of stem rust 


and is also resistant to crown rust. We recommend planting about 134 Bu. per acre. | 
We have only a few hundred bushel of this variety left and we would like for 
every farmer in Wisconsin, Northern Illinois and Iowa to try at least a few pier 
of this outstanding new oat this year.
