WOOD'S SEED OATS FOR SPRING PLANTING 
SOW EARLY FOR BEST RESULTS—2 BUSHELS PER ACRE 
FULGRAIN OATS 
An Excellent Cash Grain Crop 
Fulgrain is one of the most widely grown of all oats for 
grain in Virginia, Carolinas and other eastern states. 
Early maturing, disease resistant, stools well, a vigorous 
grower. Its upright growth of medium height adapts 
it splendidly for combining. Produces large well filled 
heads with rich reddish yellow plump grains. 
COLUMBIA SPRING OATS 
The Earliest Maturing and Heavy Yielding Spring Oat 
The Columbia Spring Oat which we introduced in the 
East several years ago has become an outstanding va- 
riety for spring planting for both grain and hay. It is 
one of the earliest maturing varieties, and has con- 
sistently given heavy yields. We consider it the most 
outstanding spring oat for both grain and hay pro- 
duction. It is the tallest of the spring oats, particularly 
well adapted to all states east of the Mississippi River. 
Being strictly a spring oat, it is not as readily salable 
for seed purposes as Fulgrain and Lee, but for feeding 
and hay it is regarded as one of our best. Wood's 
Columbia Oats are strictly onion free. 
CLINTON OATS 
A new variety which has been used quite extensively 
in the Piedmont and Mountain sections of the east for 
the past few years for spring planting with excellent 
results. For a number of years has given outstanding 
results over older varieties throughout the middle 
western states. At Lafayette, Indiana, Experimental 
Station, over a five year period, they averaged 72.8 
bu. per acre, and in 1946 test yielded 92.9 bu. Clinton 
Oats are of medium height, yellow kernels, early, high- 
ly resistant to lodging, and to loose and covered smuts 
of oats. Produced from the united efforts of the plant 
scientists of the Purdue University Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station, the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, and 
the lowa Agricultural Exp. Station, being bred espe- 
cially for resistance to leaf and stem rusts, smuts and 
leaf blight. Clinton Oat has a very stiff straw and fine 
for combining, or cutting with binder. 
WHITE SPRING OATS 
A Fine Heavy Oat for the Mountain Section. 
Our supply is strictly onion free, heavy test weight, 
bright quality oats of the same strain we have sup- 
plied for years with such satisfactory results. 
The heavier yielding, extra heavy plump, white oat 
for which cattlemen and horse breeders always pay a 
substantial premium. Its tall stalks and tremendous 
heads yield heavy crops of both grain and hay in the 
cooler mountain sections and northern states.

CYCLONE SEED SOWER 
A splendid broadcaster that will pay for itself in a few 
days in time saved, besides sowing grass and clover 
seed and grain faster and more evenly and uniformly 
than is possible by hand. It sows as fast as you walk, 
and the quantity can be regulated. By mail postpaid, 
$3.85. Not postpaid, $3.50. 
Wood's Treated Oats yield bumper crops of fine quality grain. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
For heavy crops of early hay or grazing to fatten or produce milk. Stock eat it greedily 
and thrive on it. Grows 4 to 6 feet, but can be grazed when 6 to 10 inches high. If not 
grazed too closely it makes a second growth. Its roots gather nitrogen and improve the 
land. Adapted to a wide variety of soils; thrives on land too poor for grain. Sow 75 
lbs. to the acre with one bushel of oats from January to March. 
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS SERS ESSERE EERE 
An excellent soil improver. Sow 40 lbs. per acre in early spring or INOCULATE 
etl. CANADA PEAS, 
AUSTRIAN PEAS, 
HAIRY VETCH HAIRY VETCH. 
For hay, grazing and soil improvement. Sow in early spring or fall, SEE PAGE 45. 
25 lbs. per acre with one bushel of oats. 
BEARDED SPRING BARLEY 
Quickest Grazing and Earliest Maturing Spring Grain. 
When there is a shortage of corn this is a fine supplemental crop for early feed. Can 
be grown on a greater variety of soils under a wider range of climatic conditions than 
almost any other grain crop. It yields 25 to 40 bushels per acre of grain equal to corn 
in feeding value. Sow 2 bushels per acre in February or March. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
This is a crop that is generally overlooked as a pasture crop, particularly for sheep, 
hogs, calves and poultry. Rape makes wonderfully good forage, being one of the best 
annual emergency pasture crops for the corn belt. Rape pasture is almost equal to 
alfalfa for hogs, and experiments show that in good rape years pigs pastured on rape 
require less grain feed for 100 Ibs. of gain than when grazed on alfalfa. It is one of the 
quickest growing and cheapest pasture crops that can be planted. Ready in 6 weeks. 
Can also be sown with oats at the rate of 5 pounds of rape with | to 1'/> bushels of oats 
per acre. Sown alone, 6 to 8 lbs. per acre, broadcast, or 3 to 4 Ibs. in drills 18 to 20 in. 
apart.

Alfalfa, Red Clover, permanent Grass and Clover Mixtures and Dwarf Essex Rape can all 
be satisfactorily sown with either fall or spring Oats. They furnish a fine nurse crop. 
Sow Spring Oats during February and March. In the mouniain section as late as early 
April, at the rate of 2 bushels per acre, and use 300 to 400 Ibs. 4-12-4 Fertilizer.
