The qualities of the regular Clinton Oats are 
quite well Known. Strong, stiff straw. Big, 
heavy grains. Highly resistant to Helmentho- 
sporium Blight and to most races of rust. 
Medium maturity. Heavy yields. 
The Clinton Reselect is a variety or strain 
that has been selected from the original pro- 
duction because it showed improvement over 
the old. It is recognized as a distinctly differ- 
ent variety and it is specially certified under 
this new name. Other states have also made 
such selections and called them by different 
names such as Clinton 11 and Clinton 59, both 
of which are described on page 9. They are 
very similar although in our opinion the Iowa 
Reselect is the best of the three. 
This variety ripens more evenly than the 
original Clinton. It has straw that stands up 
even after grain is dead ripe. The grain has 
thin hulls giving higher feeding value. This 
variety is adapted to Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, 
Minnesota and to all of the spring oat areas. 
The performance of any variety will depend 
in part on weather conditions. All years are 
not equally good oat years. Take it over a 
period of time you will find it hard to equal 
these Oats in quality or production. When 
race 45 rust becomes prevalent it might be 
better to choose Cherokee or Colo. See page 8. 
Under normal conditions however, we can 
highly recommend our Iowa Reselect Clintons 
as one of the best to grow. 

Our Iowa Reselect are all state certified seed. 
But keep this in mind that Berry’s Certified is 
superior in grade to most certified seed on the 
market. To meet Certification Standards, seed 
must have high varietal purity, freedom of nox- 
ious weed seeds and of good germination. How- 
ever, it is not necessary to take out all the small 
grains or to make a real heavy test weight. 
We are building a reputation as handlers of 
extra quality seed oats. The methods we use 
take out a lot of grains that are left in ordinary 
state certified seed. Most growers of certified 
seed don’t have the machinery to do the type 
of work we doin our grading. You will find that 
the use of such Extra Quality Certified seed 
pays big dividends for you in the field. Extra 
yields of 5 to 10 bushels per acre are not un- 
common. That more than pays for the cost of 
the seed. 
The supplies of good seed oats are below 
normal and many farmers are getting a fresh 
start by using the new Reselect Clinton. You get 
them at their best by purchasing our Extra 
Quality grade. For prices see Item 177 on our 
price list. 
In addition to the Reselect, 59 and 11, we also 
handle the regular Clinton in the Certified, Item 
172 on price list and our special Heavy cleaned 
non-certified Item 173. In every one of these 
varieties we guarantee to ship you top quality 
seed. It will pay you big dividends to order 
seed like that, and you will find our prices very 
reasonable for seed of this character. 


Finest and Best for Northern Farms 
A few years ago the Lincoln Soy Bean was in- 
troduced to central and southern Iowa. It “Showed 
its heels” to all other varieties in that maturity class. 
It still is the best. However, it was a little too late 
for northern Iowa and similar areas. The early beans 
were Richlands which had very short stems and 
Earlyana which lodged severely under some condi- 
tions, 
Now we have the Hawkeye Soy Bean which is just 
‘ as fine for the northern section as Lincolns are 
farther south. In northern Iowa, Illinois, Indiana 
and Ohio, and southern Michigan, Wisconsin, Min- 
nesota and northeastern Nebraska and southeastern 
South Dakota it is a bean superior to all others. It 
is better than anything that has been grown thus 
far in a commercial way. It is a cross of Mukden 
with Richlands. 
| Characteristics 
The Hawkeye Soy Bean has strong stalks. It pro- 
duces many 3 seeded pods instead of all two, like 
| Richlands, Grows about 4 inches taller. Is a little 
| shorter than Mukden. The oil content is high. That 
| ig an important factor in Soy Beans, It will out- 
| yield other varieties of similar maturity by four to 
five bushels per acre under most conditions. Beans 
Ow ieee 
are light in color, a little larger than Richland and 
considerably larger than Mukden. 
While the Hawkeye Bean was especially developed for sec- 
tions like North Central and Central Iowa it is becoming very 
popular further south. In Southern Iowa and Central Illinois 
and areas of similar latitude it is doing exceptionally well. In 
some cases they outyielded Lincolns and matured a week to 10 
days earlier. This earlier maturity is generally an advantage. 
That is why farmers farther south like them. Yields of over 
40 bushels per acre are produced by Hawkeyes in official tests. 
Buy Your Hawkeye Beans Early 
We look for very strong markets on all Soy Beans. The 
demand for seed stock should be very heavy. Insofar as we 
know at the date of this writing there will be no restrictions 
on planting Soy Beans but it is anticipated on corn. Therefore 
there will be an increased acreage on Soy Beans to produce a 
cash grain crop. You can benefit by planning your operations 
accordingly. To get the best seed buy now. 
There is more to Soy Bean seed quality than meets the eye. 
If the outer seed coat has even small cracks in it, disease has 
a chance to enter. Seed that tests fine in the laboratory may 
not do so under unfavorable weather. We endeavor to supply 
you with beans at their best for seed. See Item No. 184 for 
Non-Certified and Item No. 185 for Certified Hawkeye Soybeans. 
We advise inoculating all Soy Beans. See page 27. As an 
extra measure of safety treat them with Arasan before inocula- 
tion. See page 33.
