Andrew is the sensational new Oat, developed in Minnesota, and released this 
year for the first. time. It is a cross of Bond and Rainbow, and has the same 
grain ripens more slowly and it is considered about.1 or 2 days earlier than the 
Clinton. The grain is white in color and test weights are comparable to other 
new varieties. 
Illinois considers the Andrew as the most promising of the new varieties. 
In a two-year test (1947-1948) at the State Experiment Station at Urbana, 
Illinois, Andrew out-yielded all other varieties (with the exception of one 
experimental selection not yet released). Included in these tests were Shelby, 
Mohawk, Clinton, Clinton 11, and Clinton 59. The average yield for the 
Andrew in this test was 84.9 bushels per acre. 
In 1948 it yielded 83.4 bushels per acre in Stephenson County, and out- 
yielded all other varieties in a 1948 test in Stark County. We consider it 
practically well adapted to central Illinois and to all similar areas. The 
acreage produced in Illinois this year was lim- 
ited; consequently, there will be a big demand 
for seed and there probably will not be enough ITEM 
to go around. We. recommend planting the N 174 
Andrew 2 bushels per acre. Don’t plant ‘“‘bin 9. 
run” seed Oats. Use either Certified or graded and GREEN PRICE 
cleaned seed. It pays big: dividends in increased LIST 
yields. Our Andrew Oats are all Certified—your 
assurance of top grade seed.
