SHELBY 
A new variety of oat developed by the Iowa Agricultural Experiment 
Station in co-operation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It 
is a selection from Anthony-X-Bond cross. Like other Bond varieties 
it is resistant to helminthosporium -victoriae, but is susceptible to race 
45 of leaf rust, which is increasing in prevalence here in the North- 
west. Most of the other races of leaf rust do not attack SHELBY. It 
is also resistant to stem rust and smuts. Fairly stiff strawed, tall, 
slightly later in heading and ripening than the more common varieties 
of oats grown in Wisconsin, It produces late stools when lodged but 
average less than other Bond varieties. Yields well and has a good 
bushel weight. The grain is ivory-white in color. Being a new variety, 
which performed well this past season, there will likely be a heavy 
demand for seed with limited supply. Growers who intend to plant 
Shelby should order early. ;

CLINTON 
Clinton originated at Ames, Iowa, in 1936 as a single plant selection 
made by H. ©. Murphy, Senior Pathologist, from various crosses of 
Richland, Green Russian, and Bond. It was developed co-operatively 
by the lowa Station and the United States Department of Agriculture 
and jointly distributed by the Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana stations, It 
was first distributed in 1946, 
It is resistant to Helminthosporium disease and to the races of rust 
commonly found in Wisconsin, but is susceptible to race 45 of leaf rust 
and somewhat susceptible to smut. It has a stiff straw, very leafy, which 
produces late tillers. A medium tall, early, yellow oat with plump kernels 
and thin hulls. It is outstanding for yield, test weight, and strength of 
straw. f

CHEROKEE 
This variety was derived from a cross of D69X Bond made at the 
Towa Agricultural Experiment Station. It has most of the character- 
istics of the Bond varieties. Resists helminthosporium and most races 
of leaf and stem rust. While race 45 of leaf rust will attack CHEROKEE, 
it does not seem to attack it as heavily as 
Clinton and some of the other varieties. Has 
a short straw, and is very early in heading and 
maturity. Kernels are plump, ivory-white in 
color, and are high test in weight per bushel. 
Not as heavy a yielder as some of the other 
Bond varieties in Wisconsin. This variety is 
becoming very popular in Iowa and parts of 
Kansas and Nebraska. Prices, Standard Seed,

BONDA 
One of the new Helminthosporium . disease 
resistant oats developed at the Minnesota Ex- 
periment Station. It is a cross of Bond and 
Anthony. At the Wisconsin station this oat 
had the highest bushel weight and was one of 
the strongest strawed of all the varieties grown 
on the farm. Like Clinton it is susceptible to 
race 45 of leaf rust. It grows somewhat taller 
than Clinton, ripens a little later, and has a 
whiter kernel. Prices, Wisconsin Certified W

MINDO 
Introduced by the Minnesota Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station from a cross of Bond X and 
Black Mesdag. It is resistant to the rust and 
smuts, and also is resistant to race 8 of stem 
rust. Equal to Bonda in this respect. A very 
early yellowish oat with excellent yielding ability. 
Higher in weight per bushel than Vicland, and 
having a short straw it is very resistant to lodg- 
ing. This variety is valuable for very fertile 
soils which have plenty of moisture on which 
taller oats tend to grow too tall and lodge. It 
has the shortest straw of all popular varieties 
grown in Wisconsin, including Vicland, and is 
an excellent yielder. Prices, Minnesota Certified,

VICLAND 
A high-yielding, disease resistant, variety first distributed by the Wis- 
consin Agriculture Experiment Station in 1941. Vicland is an early 
yellow, short straw variety and on fertile soil the straw will attain a 
good height, but on soils low in fertility, we do not recommend it as 
the straw is likely to be too short to cut with a binder. Kernels are 
medium in size and well filled, with light or no awns, often running 36 
pounds or more per bushel from.the thresher. It goes through a long 
dormancy period after harvest and will stand in the shock for a long 
period without germinating. This is a distinct advantage in rainy weather. 
A heavy yielding oat where Helminthosporium is not a factor.

AJAX 
A recently introduced Canadian oat which is 
proving valuable on the lighter soil sections of 
our state. It is a tall strawed variety that would 
likely lodge on fertile soil. It matures about three 
days later, than Vicland with average size white 
kernels, A high yielding oat that will run about 
average in bushel weight. Straw is not as strong 
as some of the bond varieties, and while not 
resistant to stem rust and leaf rust it has, in 
the last few years, shown less leaf rust than 
the bond varieties. Yield tests at several Wis- 
eonsin stations in 1947, 1948, 1949 was 63,3 
bushels per acre which was the highest of 23 
varieties tested.

Treat All Oats With Ceresan M 
Regardless of the variety of oat you plant, 
seed should be treated with Ceresan M to help 
control loose and covered smuts, and to reduce 
seedling blight and root rot. See page 67.
