Clinton 59 and Clinton 11 are the newest, improved selections of the B-69 x t: 
Bond Cross. Both are selections from the original Clinton and they retain all ~ 
of the desirable characteristics of that great variety plus several new advan- 
tages which will make them even more valuable in your seeding program this 
spring. sea 
Higher Yields eae ak. = 
Higher yields have been obtained in comparative tests with most other ~— 
varieties in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. The grain matures at the same time 
which means less shattering at harvest time and less danger of spoilage from ~~ 
storing immature grain. The original Clinton did not mature evenly and oe

The Clinton 11 is the Illinois selection while the Clinton 59 is the Indiana z 
selection. Recommendations are similar for both selections. We recommend | 
changing to one of these if you have not already done so. The increased 
yields you will obtain from using new seed will more than pay for the cost. 
It pays to plant clean seed Oats. ; ee

Highest Yielding Variety 1948 Illinois Tests ae. 
The Beaver Oat is a selection from a cross of Erban and Vanguard and was 
first introduced in Canada in 1945. Since that time it has shown outstanding 
promise in the northern corn-belt area. In northern Illinois and Iowa it out- 
yielded the Clinton and Benton in several tests. Reports from Wisconsin grow- 
ers last year were enthusiastic. Yields in excess of 100 bu. per acre were re- — 
corded, with test weights as high as 44 lbs. per bushel. In Illinois at the 
Urbana station Beaver outyielded all other varieties in the 1948 tests.  — 
Beaver is a thin-hulled Oat, yet the kernel is meaty and very heavy. Most — 
farmers who have raised it report that it is a better feeding Oat than the Clin- 
ton and Benton strains. 2 3 : ok
