PREPARE FOR HEAVY DEMAND FOR 
uss Ee @ 
Good, HIGH-QUALITY, HIGH-GERMINATING SEED OATS will carry a premium this coming spring, because: 
(1) acreage restrictions on various other cash crops will undoubtedly increase the demand for GOOD SEED OATS. 
| (2) the germination and quality of a large part of the oat crop harvested for seed this past season is below standard. 
We don't think there will be enough GOOD SEED OATS to go around. Many farmers will be forced to sow second- 
grade oats. 
WE SUGGEST: 
(1) that you book your requirements with us NOW, while we still have a supply of HIGH-QUALITY, HIGH-GERMI- 
NATING SEED OATS. 
(2) that you advise your customers to buy their SEED OATS early. 
| WE RECOMMEND THESE THREE VARIETIES: 
(1) Clinton — short-strawed, yellow oat—for fertile or highly fertilized soils. 
(2) _Mindo -— about 5 days earlier than Clinton—yellowish - white seeded oat—for fertile soils—straw is 
shorter than Clinton and not as stiff. 
(3) Columbia, — early oat, about same maturity as Mindo—tall-growing variety recommended highly for low 
fertility soils. Very high-yielding and produces grain of high test weight.
