HEAVYWEIGHT. 
The Heaviest American Oat Grown 
While in search of new varieties of Oats of value in the 
Northwest, where the best Oats are grown, we found, in 
Wyoming, several fields of a new variety with tall, stiff 
straw standing shoulder high and the heaviest American 
Oat grown. When these fields were threshed, the yield 
was over 100 bushels per acre and the weight over 45 
pounds per measured bushel of pure white, thin-hulled 
grain. We purchased the entire lot, and from this source 
secured our stock seed of this, in our opinion, the heaviest 
and most productive American Oat. This was some twenty 
years ago. During that time we have distributed over 
600,000 bushels to our customers, and, wherever grown, 
it has given wonderful yields in comparison with other 
varieties grown alongside. Crops averaging “Just twice” 
the yield of common Oats have been reported to us by our 
customers. This Oat is of the Swedish type and being 
generations from the original i importation, the law requires 
us to use the words “variety unknown.” 
Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats have made wonderful 
yields for a large number of our customers in many states. 
We read of remarkable records and big yields of Oats in 
the western states, under irrigation, but right here, in the 
East, Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats have produced record- 
breaking crops. Average weight 40 pounds per measured 
bushel. Sow 21% to 3 bushels per acre. 
FREESSAMPLEESSONGREQUEST, 
ADVANCE 
Advance is a new Oat released by Cornell and available 
in very limited quantities. It is a medium early Oat, being 
two to four days later than Mohawk and 4 to 6 inches 
taller. The straw is stiffer than the common tall midseason 
varieties such as Lenroc and Goldwin. It has a plump, 
meaty, high test weight kernel. Advance has disease re- 
sistance similar to Mohawk and Clmton, bemg highly 
resistant to blight and rust. This Oat is ‘adapted to all 
Oat-growing areas of the Northeast and is especially 
recommended to those dairymen desiring more straw than 
that provided by Mohawk and Clinton. Try a few of this 
new variety, and sow 2 bushels per acre. 
LENROC 
Lenroc 1s a midseason variety introduced by Cornell 
University Agricultural Experiment Station in 1935, It is 
a tall-growing, high-yielding variety which usually escapes 
rust if sown early. The kernel is white, large and plump 
with all the characteristics of a desirable Oat, either for 
feeding or for sale. Sow 2% bushels per acre. 
GOLDWIN 
The Goldwin Oat was developed by the Plant Breeding 
Department at Cornell University and a limited amount 
was first offered for sale in 1946, Goldwim ts a high-yield- 
ing, smut-resistant variety, has a bright yellow gram with 
a high per cent of meat, and the straw is reasonably stiff. 
In various state tests it has outyielded other varieties. If 
this Oat can be planted early so as to resist rust Injury, 
there is no variety that will give you as good a yield. The 
supply this year ts limited. Sow 21% bushels per acre.

Mohawk oats (on the left) standing erect and not injured by 
blight or rust. A good crop of heavy grain. Vicland oats (on 
the right) badly affected by blight and rust. A poor crop of 
lightweight grain. 
MOHAWK 
The Mohawk Oat was released by Cornell University 
to seed producers in 1947 and is now available to Oat 
growers for 1949 planting. Mohawk has exceptionally 
high yielding ability with high resistance to Helminthos- 
porium blight and rust, which makes it a very dependable 
variety. Very stiff straw, early maturing, medium height, 
and heavy meaty kernel. A variety of wide adaptation, 
highly recommended for all sections of our territory. An 
excellent sort with which to make seedings. On fertile 
dairy farms where many other Oats tend to lodge, Mohawk 
has shown very good standability. We feel that it will 
replace Vicland. While there will not be enough seed for 
everybody this year, we urge our customers to try a few 
bushels. Sow 2 bushels per acre. 
CLINTON 
The Clinton Oat was developed by the Iowa Experiment 
Station and like Mohawk is resistant to blight and rust. 
It is very similar to Mohawk in performance and adapta- 
tion. Sow 2 bushels per acre. 
New Improved Ceresan. Ethyl mercury 
phosphate dry disinfectant for the con- 
trol of seed-borne stinking smut of wheat, 
smuts of oats, covered smut, black loose 
smut and stripe of barley. One pound 
treats 32 bushels.
