BEAVER 

HEAVY NORTHERN TYPE—MEDIUM MATURING 
We are offering this new Canadian Variety for 
the first time this year. Our Beaver Oats are 
Canadian Certified. This is your assurance that you 
will get the best seed obtainable as certification 
requirements in Canada in most cases are more 
exacting than in this country. 
The Beaver Oat was first introduced in Canada in 
1945 and this is the first time that this seed has 
been available in sufficient quantities to offer it at 
reasonable prices. The straw strength of the Beaver 
is superior to other Canadian varieties such as 
Erban and Vanguard. The kernel size is large and 
test weights are heavy. Under normal conditions in 
Canada the Beaver will mature in 83 days, however, 
in this country they mature in about 80 days. 
Beaver is resistant to races 1, 2, 3, 5, 7,10 and 12 
| CLINTON 
High Yielder—Disease Resistant 
The Clinton Oat is the most widely ac- 
cepted variety in production today. The 
popularity of the Clinton can be attributed 
to the fact that they have consistently out- 
yielded most other varieties since they 
were first introduced three years ago. They 
are resistant to blight, smut and rust the 
-same as all of the other varieties that we 
offer. They stand up well even after the 
' erop has completely matured with very lit- 
tle shattering making them an ideal oat for 
combining. 
The test weight of the Clinton invariably 
runs higher than the standard weight per 
bushel. In some instances weights as high 
as 40 lIbs.-per bushel have been reported. 
The quality of the grain from a feeding 
standpoint is excellent. The kernel is very 
meaty with an unusually thin hull. Feed | 
and milling companies prefer the Clinton 
over most other varieties because of their 
superior milling qualities. 
We offer the Clinton in both Certified and Non- 
Certified grades. Most of our seed stock which is 
non-certified comes from certified seed of the first 
generation. We buy this seed from reliable growers 
and we know that we are getting genuine Clinton 
seed from these producers. Your seed oats should 
always be well cleaned before planting as a protec- 
tion against noxious weeds. You will find our seed 
far superior to country run seed yet our prices just 
about the same.

of stem rust and is also resistant to crown rust. The 
Erban parent of Beaver is practically immune to 
both races of smut which makes the Beaver highly 
resistant to this disease. © 
Beaver has been consistently high-yielding and 
has proven its superior yielding ability in a most 
emphatic manner the past two years in comparative 
tests. Yields in excess of 100 bu. per acre have been 
reported. This oat is similar in appearance to the 
heavy northern Swedish type but is greatly im- 
proved in plant type and yielding ability. Be the 
first in your neighborhood to raise Beaver Oats this 
year. We have only one car of this variety to offer.

BENTON 
Medium Early—Tall Growing 
The Benton Oat is the tallest growing 
selection of the D 69 x Bond Cross. This 
oat 18 especially good on thinner soils 
where straw growth is apt to be short. The 
straw is heavy and strong and stands up 
well even on heavy, rich land, The Benton 
is in the same maturity class as the Clinton 
but under normal conditions will ripen a 
day or two earlier. The grain is heavy and 
thin-hulled. 
Benton is resistant to most of the same 
diseases as the Clinton including Helmin- 
thosporium blight, and most races of rust 
and smut. We strongly urge all of our cus- 
tomers to change to any of these new Dis- 
ease-Resistant varieties if they have not 
already done so. All varieties of the Vic- 
toria strain are susceptible to blight dis- 
ease which has become a serious factor in 
the oat producing areas. Such varieties as 
Tama, Boone, Vicland, Cedar and Forvic 
are no longer recommended. 
We offer both Certified and Non-Certi- 
fied Bentons this year. Our supplies of 
seed are the best we have seen since the 
Benton was introduced. Bright plump ker- 
nels, double-recleaned, high germinating 
seed. are yours when you order our Benton 
oats. Raise Bentons this year for extra 
profits.
