NEMAHA 
SEED OATS 
A Highly Disease Resistant Oat 
The Nemaha is a comparatively new oat. It was devel- 
oped through the combined efforts of Iowa, Nebraska and 
Kansas State Experiment Stations, along with the U. S. 
Dept. of Agriculture. Nemaha Oats is a selection from the 
crossing of Victoria-Richland X Morota-Bond. 
Plant breeders, who set out to develop a new variety, 
must bear several important things in mind. For example, 
in the case of oats, they must make a selection which is 
highly disease resistant, yet they cannot sacrifice yields. 
This requires much painstaking work, usually over a long 
period of time. Varieties are chosen which are resistant 
to disease. Others are selected because of their high yield- 
ing ability, strong straw, ete. These varieties are then 
crossed. From this cross, different plants are selected 
which appear to have ‘“‘captured”’ all the desired good quali- 
ties. These plants are carefully watched over a period of 
time. When one has ‘‘proven”’ itself, it is then increased 
for seed and released as a new variety. This is the careful 
planning which has gone into the developing of the Nemaha 
Oat. You'll be delighted with the beautiful quality of this 
grain. The grain is naturally big and meaty, and in our 
Blue Seal Processed grade (see page 6), you get the finest 
that money can buy.

blight and to the common races of smut, crown rust and stem rust. 
It is an exceptionally heavy yielder of plump, high-testing grain. 
The straw is heavy and strongly resists lodging. Nemahas are about 
as tall as Clintons and about 2 to 5 days earlier in maturity. Gen- 
erally the grain is light red in color but sometimes runs to a pinkish- 
ivory or yellow cast. The hulls are thin which means greater feeding 
value. There is plenty of straw. They stand up well, even when 
deep ripe. 
Get Your Nemaha Seed from Berry's 
Farmers who have been buying their seed oats from Berry’s, know 
that they can expect better quality stock. Better from the standpoint 
of superior grading. All thin oats removed, we ship you big plump 
seed. We carefully watch germination. You can be assured of strong, 
vigorous seed. Our seed oats are all graded by the “Blue Seal Process” 
and treated with the New Ceresan ‘‘M.” 
Take all these factors in consideration—then send your

Superior Characteristics 
Most Farmers are familiar 
the Adams is (1) superior in yield; (2) it ripens about 
a day earlier; (3) the height is the same but stands up better; (4) has more oil content; (5) is higher 
in protein. 
The Lincoln is still a good soybean and has done a wonderful job. But, when a new variety 
shows up with such outstanding characteristics, then 
it certainly is worthy of consideration. It is 
adaptable anywhere the Lincoln variety is recommended. 
A Tested Variety 
Exhaustive tests were run on the Adams soybean before it was 
released for seed distribution. It consistently out-performed many 
well known varieties over a 4 year period. Therefore, when you 
plant Adams beans, you have the assurance of knowing it is a top 
variety. The Adams soybeans stand up very well which makes 
combining easy. Tests show high oil and protein content. 
Identification 
The Adams soybean has white flowers. When mature, it has light
