INTON 
DISEASE RESISTANT 
THE ORIGINAL D 69 Xx BOND SELECTION 
The Clinton Oat was the greatest development i in Agri- 
x culture since hybrid corn. It was perfected at a time when 
other varieties of the Victoria strains were almost a complete 
failure due to the heavy infestation of blight disease in the 
7 producing areas. Clinton, since it was released commercially 
in 1947, has consistently produced outstanding yields through- 
= out the corn-belt area. This year under the most adverse con- 
_ ditions in many areas it produced amazing yields. It can produce good 
_ yields on practically any type of soil and can be raised successfully 
x “under a wide range of climatic conditions. 
_ weights as high as 43 lbs. per bushel have been reported. The straw is 
very stiff making it an ideal oat for combining. When the Clinton is 
Giek ripe there is very little shattering. It is highly resistant to blight 
helminthisporium) and to most races of rust and smut. If you have 
ot as yet switched to one of the new disease resistant varieties of oats 
x ‘we cannot too strongly recommend doing so this year. Greater yields 
_ mean greater profits, so why take chances ori raising the old varieties 
_ that are susceptible to blight. Our prices are low on both Certified 
and Non-Certified stocks.

MEDIUM EARLY --- TALL GROWING 
YIELDS 20 TO 30 BUSHELS MORE PER ACRE 
THAN OLD VARIETIES 

Like Clinton, the Benton Oat is a selection from Iowa 
D69 x Bond. The work on this selection was performed by the 
plant scientists of the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station, 
Purdue University Experiment Station and the United States 
Department of Agriculture. These experts in performing this 
cross found that there was a slight difference in the character- 
istics of Benton and the Clinton. Some reports indicate better 
yields with the Benton, depending upon the soil, location and 
climatic conditions. 
The Benton Oat is highly resistant to blight, rust and 
smut. They grow about 4 or 5 inches taller than the Clinton 
and are one or two days earlier in maturing. The grain has a 
very thin hull and is slightly larger in size than the Clinton. 
The test weight in most cases run about the same. If you 
desire a heavier straw then the Benton is the best for you. The 
straw produced is about 15 to:20% heavier than the Clinton. 
Benton Oats are adapted to a wide range of soils in the 
corn-belt area, however, they seem to produce a little better 
on heavy, rich ground than the other varieties. We offer both 
the certified and non-certified grades.

MONTCALM 
CERTIFIED © BARLEY .« ceairien 
NEW HIGH YIELDING MALTING TYPE 
Montcalm is the sensational new Barley introduced 
in Canada and released for commercial sale for the first 
time in limited quantities last spring. The seed at that 
time sold for as high as $12.00 per bushel. Yields as high 
as 85 Bu. per acre have been reported in Wisconsin. In 
one three-year test in Canada, Montcalm averaged 78 
bushels per acre. 








e Montcalm is a smooth-awned, six-rowed Barley. 
Stands up well when ripe and is considered as a medium 
early variety. Is equal in malting character to the OAC 21 
strain. 



Raise Montcalm Barley for seed this year as it will 
still be in heavy demand next year and your crop should 
bring a nice premium for seed. The higher yields from 
Montcalm Barley will more than pay for the seed. It pays 
dividends to raise the new improved crops.
