ABOVE—105 BUSHELS OATS AND 70 BALES LESPEDEZA HAY 
HARVESTED. Mr. H. S. Straughn, Siler City, N. C., produced 105 bushels 
Victorgrain 48-93 oats and harvested 70 bales lespedeza hay per acre later 
from the same 7-acre field. Mr. Straughn is shown here noting both his 
oats and splendid stand of lespedeza.

Plant Breeding Unit of the A.P.I. Agriculture Experiment Station. This 
field was planted with registered seed. The average yield on the twenty 
acres was 105 bushels per acre. (Photo courtesy of the A.P.I. Agricultural

100% UNIFORMITY OF TYPE CANNOT BE EXPECTED 
While the general type and appearance of both our 
Victorgrain and Fulgrain oats are thoroughly fixed 
by many years of selection and breeding, in varieties 
of hybrid origin such as these are, you will usually 
find a few plants per acre which are slightly different 
in appearance and height from the others. Remem- 
ber Victorgrain and Fulgrain are rather short 
strawed oats and any taller off-types will stand out 
above the rest just like rye in a wheat field, and there- 
for can be easily seen and rogued out. In the taller 
[18] 
growing varieties of oats such as Red Rust Proof, 
Stanton, and Clinton, the off-type plants will usually 
be shorter than the others and will not be noticed 
because they are covered up by the average height 
of the field. 
All fields of small grain grown for certification 
should be carefully rogued for removal of noxious 
weeds, off-types, etc., prior to inspection by certify- 
ing agency, no matter how pure or true to type the 
variety planted.
