On the left is the new Mohawk Oat while on the right is Vicland showing what blight will do to a variety that is not resistant. If you 
need more straw you should sow Advance which is also blight resistant. 
CERTIFIED OATS 
1% to 2 bu. will sow 1 acre 
All Certified Oats are treated with New Improved Ceresan before shipment. 
Rust has cut the yield of oats in the northern states for the past 20 years. A few years ago we thought that 
Vicland and Erban were going to solve the problem but now we find that Vicland is susceptible to an oat blight. 
Last year Cornell released a new variety called Mohawk that was widely grown throughout the state. It has 
been found to be highly resistant to blight and most of the strains of rust. The strain of rust that it is susceptible 
to is not a problem except on late plantings. 
Clinton has much the same parentage as Mohawk and performs nearly as well in the state. 
MOHAWK: A new variety of yellow kernelled oats 
developed by the Cornell Department of Plant 
Breeding. Mohawk is about 3 inches taller than 
Vicland and matures a few days later. It is resistant 
to crown rust and to the new blight that caused so 
much damage to oats last season. In addition to 
being disease resistant, Mohawk has a very stiff 
straw and stands much better than most other varie- 
ties. In seven New York State regional trials the 
average yield of Mohawk was 85 % bushels per acre. 
Certified Seed: 1 to 15 bu. $2.50 per bu.; 15 bu. or 
more $2.40 per bu., not prepaid. 
CLINTON: A _ new high yielding, early maturing 
variety selected from the same cross made by the 
United States Department of Agriculture as Mo- 
hawk. The difference between the two varieties is 
that Mohawk was selected to meet New York State 
conditions; Clinton was selected to meet western con- 
ditions. In comparative tests conducted by the New 
York State College of Agriculture, Mohawk seems 
to be a little better adapted to the state than Clinton. 
Clinton also has high resistance to Helmintho- 
sporium blight and rust. Certified Seed: | to 15 bu. 
$2.10 per bu.; 15 bu. or more $2.00 per bu., not pre- 
paid. 
WINTER WHEAT AND BARLEY 
Prices on Certified Wong Winter Barley, Certified 
Yorkwin and Cornell 595 Wheat will be available 
about August Ist. Write for price list to be mailed 
at that time. 

ADVANCE: A new oat released by Cornell and avail- 
able in very limited quantities to New York farmers 
for the first time in 1948. It is a medium early oat, 
being from two to four days later than Mohawk and 
4 to 6 inches taller, it has a stiffer straw than the com- 
mon tall midseason oats although not so stiff as that 
of Mohawk. In yield, Advance is comparable to 
Mohawk and Clinton. It is also highly resistant to 
Helminthosporium blight and resistant to all preva- 
lent races of rust except Race 45 crown (leaf) rust. 
Advance is adapted to all oat growing areas of the 
State, but is especially recommended to those dairy- 
men desiring more straw than that provided by 
Mohawk and Clinton. The Advance variety should 
primarily be used by the Northern New York and hill 
dairy farmer. Certified Seed: 1 to 15 bu. $2.95 per bu.; 
15 or more $2.85 per bu., not prepaid. 
CERTIFIED ALPHA BARLEY 
2 to 2% bu. will sow 1 acre 
The most popular two-rowed variety in the East. 
Alpha is a heavy producing, large kerneled barley with 

fairly stiff straw. Ripens a little later than the six row 
varieties; heads do not crinkle and break off. This 
makes it especially desirable for sowing with oats or 
harvesting with combine. Certified Seed: 1 to 10 bu. 
$3.50 per bu.; 10 bu. or more $3.40 per bu., not prepaid.
