-- CLINTON OATS 
In 48 Community Grain trials of Clinton 
Oats, the average yield was 84 bushels to 
the acre! Clinton has about the stiffest 
The average height of the 
straw is 33% inches, it does not lodge eas- 
ily, and is adapted to direct combining. (It 
is somewhat uneven in height.) Clinton 
stands well for 7 to 10 days after the grain 
is first dry enough for safe storage. You 
ean leave Clinton in the field longer and 
permit it to dry out well before it is cut 
or combined, thus lessening bin heating. 
Clinton has the ability to stand up on very 
rich soil. Ripens about July 17th. 
Clinton is a thin hulled yellow oat, with 
plump berry, and is highly resistant to 
Helminthosporium, to blight and root rot 
leaf spots. Im wet years, when diseases 
are apt to appear, Clinton shows a marked 
advantage over older varieties. In rust 
free years, it may not show a heavy ad- 
vantage in yield, but it should be superior 
because of its strength of straw and in its 
weight per bushel. The widely spread 
trials of Clinton in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illi- 
nois and Indiana, indicate its wide adapta- 
tion to various soils and growing condi- 
tions. , 
. Don’t pass up Clinton Oats this year! 
Clinton» produces a plump, thin hulled 
grain, about six pounds heavier per bushel 
than old varieties, and it grades high on 
the market, giving you oats of maximum feeding value. Clinton has re- 
ceived much praise ‘in farm and agricultural papers and we believe you 
will like it immensely.

BONDA OATS 
This variety yields about the same as Clinton but the straw is taller 
than either Vicland, Tama, Mindo or Clinton. This is a distinct advan- 
tage where more tonnage is wanted. The straw is strong, being some- 
what more resistant to lodging than either Tama or Vicland and about 
equal to Clinton and Mindo in standing ability especially on thinner soils. 
-- Bonda is an early maturing, open-panicled oat with a yellowish white, 
large sized grain of superior weight averaging about 2 lbs. per bushel 
heavier than Vicland. The weight of the individual kernel of Bonda is 
also 20% to 30% heavier than older varieties and for this reason should 
be seeded somewhat heavier on sandy soils. 
The greatest value of this variety, however, lies in its ability to resist 
the common oat diseases. Bonda is highly resistant to stem rust, crown 
rust and the smuts. It is resistant to race 8 of stem rust to which Tama 
and Vicland are susceptible and for which reason the two latter varieties 
have been discontinued. It is also resistant to the new Helminthosporium 
blight disease which has seriously affected oats in recent years, a 
‘Bonda was selected from a cross between Bond and Anthony at the 
Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. It has given excellent yields 
and been thoroughly tested in field trials.

MINDO OATS 
A very early, open panicled, yellowish variety with excellent yielding 
ability being at least equal, on the average, with either Tama or Vicland. 
It is also somewhat higher in weight per bushel than those varieties. 
The straw is short and the variety is very resistant to lodging in which 
respect-it is superior to Vicland, especially on heavy soils. The kernel 
size is about the same as Vicland, although heavier, and it is also a day 
or two earlier in heading than that variety. 
Like Bonda, Mindo is resistant to the stem rust, crown rust and the 
smuts. It is also resistant to race 8 of the stem rusts to which the older 
varieties are susceptible. Unlike Tama and Vicland, two of the main 
varieties grown in recent years, it is resistant to the new Helmintho- 
sporium blight disease which has been responsible for reduction in 
stands, premature ripening and lowering of yielding ability. 
Mindo was selected at the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 
from a cross between a number of varieties including Bonda and Minota.

BROME GRASS 
A hardy perennial for permanent pastures 
and one of the best for dry soils. Has a 
strong root system and withstands extremes 
of cold and drouth. Makes excellent pasture, 
sowing 15 lbs. Brome with 8 lbs. Alfalfa, pre- 
ferably Ladak, per acre. Yields much more 
than Timothy—Alfalfa by the third” year. 
Brome starts very early in spring. Sown 
alone, broadcast 25 lbs. per acre. Drought 
resistant. Cattle like Brome exceedingly well.
