Has Wonderful Records 
The Clinton rates tops in medium early oats. 
It has the heavy yields that make big profits. 
You get in these oats, high resistance against 
most diseases.. A very strong strawed oat that 
stands up even after grain is dead ripe. They 
are quite a large grained variety with thin 
hulls. There is more feeding value in them. 
These Clinton Oats will outyield all the old 
varieties even in good oat years. Under un- 
favorable conditions the Clintons will yield 
twice as much, When Helminthosporium blight 
is present they are so far ahead that the sus- 
ceptible varieties cannot even be considered. 
In Iowa in the 1948 official tests Clinton made 
a top yield of 123.8 bu. per acre. There was no 
other variety to equal that. In the average of 
two year tests they lead all varieties in test in* 
northern central and southern Iowa. 
That also shows you it is Widely adapted. 
When it leads the rest in all of Iowa it can do 
it throughout most of.the spring oat section. 
It was also the strongest strawed oat in the 
1948 Iowa tests. They were above the average 
in test weight per bushel. We have other 
varieties of oats listed on page 8 of this catalog. 
Under certain conditions one of these others 
may prove better. Under most circumstances 
you will make no mistake in selecting Clinton.

Grow Them for Extra Profits 
You can make a good profit from your oat 
acres. Better seed of this wonderful variety will 
bring extra results. More bushels of higher 
quality grain. Better for a nurse crop as they 
have strong straw and are not so apt to lodge. 
Grain that you can let stand until it is thoroughly 
ripe so it can be safely combined. Clintons should 
be allowed to get fully ripe before combining. 
Such oats are of finer quality, higher feeding 
value and keep much better in storage. 
Clintons mature a little earlier and have 
shorter straw than Benton or Bonda and a little 
later and longer straw than Mindo and Cherokee. 
In sowing Clinton or any oat you cannot get 
maximum results by using field run grain for 
seed. The extra cost of good seed is well worth 
the price. 
Blue Tag State Certified 
This seed is planted from Certified seed stock. The 
fields are inspected for noxious weeds and also mixtures 
of other varieties. If it passes this inspection the grain 
is again inspected and tested for purity and germination. 
If it meets all state requirements it is certified We have 
this beautiful Blue Tag quality seed for you. See item 
176 on price list for quotations. 
Our non-certified Clintons are from stocks we have care- 
fully inspected and cleaned, equal to Blue Tag quality 
grade, See Item 177 on price list.

It still is the best. However, it was a little too late 
for northern Iowa and similar areas. The early beans 
were Richlands which had very short stems and 
Harlyana which lodged severely under some condi- 
tions. 
Now we have the Hawkeye Soy Bean which is just 
as fine for the northern section as Lincolns are 
farther south. In northern Iowa, Illinois, Indiana 
and Ohio, and southern Michigan, Wisconsin, Min- 
nesota and northeastern Nebraska and southeastern 
South Dakota it is a bean superior to all others. It 
is better than anything that has been grown thus 
far in a commercial way. 
with Richlands. 
Characteristics 
The Hawkeye Soy Bean has strong stalks. It pro- 
duces many 3 seeded pods instead of all two, like 
Richlands. Grows about 4 inches taller. Is a little 
shorter than Mukden. The oil content is high. That 
is an important factor in Soy Beans. It will out- 
yield other varieties of similar maturity by four to 
five bushels per acre under most conditions. Beans

It is a cross of Mukden . 
for the northern sections it is competing very well 
with Lincolns farther south. In central Iowa Hawk- 
eye produced 40.6 bu. per acre compared with 41 for 
Lincoln. That means it can be used for late planting 
or early harvest much farther south. It will mature 
a week earlier than Lincolns under climate like 
northern and central Iowa. 
Supplies Very Limited 
It takes some time to get adequate supplies of 
seed. The demand for these beans is tremendous. All 
farmers in the northern area who have heard about 
these beans want them. There won't be enough to 
supply the demand. We have been successful in get- 
ting a fair supply where surplus stocks were released 
to seedsmen at reasonable prices. We will book orders 
at prices shown on price list enclosed so long as we 
are able to do so. We reserve the right to limit 
amounts to any one customer but will try to supply 
all with the seed they require. See Item 185 on price 
list for quotations. This is State Certified Seed and 
all of guaranteed high quality. First come first 
served. Mail- your orders in at once. See page 14 of
