‘Don’t ‘pass up Clinton Oats this year! Clinton produces a 
lump, thin hulled grain, about six pounds heavier per bushel 
than old varieties, and it grades high on the market, giving 
ou oats of maximum feeding value. Clinton has received much 
raise in farm and agricultural papers and we believe you will 
Ke’ it immensely.

BONDA—tThis variety yields about the same as Vicland but 
- the straw is taller than either Vicland, Tama, Mindo or Clinton. 
This isa distinct advantage where more tonnage is wanted. The 
straw is strong, being somewhat more resistant to lodging than 
either Tama or Vicland and about equal to Clinton and Mindo in 
ee ability especially on thinner soils. 
Bonda is an early maturing, open-panicled oat with a yellowish 
white, large sized grain of superior weight averaging about 2 
Tbs. per bushel heavier than Vicland. The weight of the individ- 
- ual kernel of Bonda is also 20% to 30% heavier than older varie- 
ties and for this reason should be seeded somewhat heavier on 
om sandy soils. 
- The greatest value of this variety however, lies in its ability 
to resist the common oat diseases. Bonda is highly resistant to 
‘stem rust, crown rust and the smuts. It is resistant to race 8 of 
stem rust to which Tama and Vicland are susceptible and for 
_ which reason the two latter varieties have been discontinued. It 
is also resistant to the new Helminthosporium blight disease 
_ which has seriously affected oats in recent years. 
Bonda was selected from a cross between Bond and Anthony 
- cnt the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. It has given 
- excellent yields and been thoroughly tested in field trials.
