able weather, State’s Pride yielded 75.7 
bushels per acre. Earliest of all yellow 
oats and best as a nurse crop and escapes 
rust, because of its earliness. Does not 
lodge easily, but fills out the kernels if it 
does, making it especially desirable for 
rich soils. Has a very short, stiff straw. 
It is a yellow oat, bright, thin hulled, 
meaty and is about the best oat. 4623—2

in about ninety days. This variety is hardy, 
haying been grown successfully in Canada, 
in sections about 1,000 miles northwest of

NEW BLIGHT-RESISTANT VARIETIES 
: ‘BONDA OATS 
This variety yields about the same as Clinton but the straw 
advantage where more tonnage is wanted. The straw is 
strong and about equal to Clinton and Mindo in standing 
Bonda is an early maturing, open-panicled oat with a 
yellowish white, large sized grain of superior weight. The 
weight of the individual kernel of Bonda is 20% to 30% 
heavier on older varieties and for this reason should be 
The greatest value of this variety, however, lies in its abil- 
ity to resist the common oat diseases. Bonda is highly re- 
resistant to the new Helminthosporium blight disease which 
has seriously affected oats in recent years. 4610—Certified

SHELBY OATS 
Shelby Oats is another advance in the breeding and selec- 
tion of better oats, originated as a selection from a cross of 
Bond and Anthony, made at the Iowa Experiment Station. 
It combines most of the strong points of its two parents, 
showing considerable resistance to race 45 of crown-rust, 
halo blight and other common leaf spot diseases. Shelby 
Oats is not susceptible to stem rust and Helminthosporium 
eee ene is more resistant to smuts than Clinton and Ben- 
on oats. i 
Shelby produces heavy grain with thin hulls and is an ivory 
colored nearly white oat. It is fairly tall, stiff strawed, does 
not lodge easily and is medium laté in maturity, ripening a 
-few days later than Clinton. It is one of the highest yielding 
varieties, having out-yielded Clinton and Benton by 4 to 7 
_ bushels per acre. 
Give Shelby oats a trial on your farm this season and we know 
you will be pleasantly surprised by its performance. 4617—Cer-

AYE 
A Typical Sample of Clinton Oats 
CLINTON OATS 
In 48 Community Grain trials of Clinton Oats, the average yield 
was 84 bushels to the acre! Clinton has about the stiffest straw 
and weighs out better than almost any other oat. The average 
height of the straw is 33% inches, it doés not lodge easily, and is 
adapted to direct combining. Clinton stands well for 7 to 10 days 
after the grain is first dry enough for safe storage. You can 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 and is 
immune to crown rusts, smuts and leaf spots. In wet years, when 
diseases are apt to appear, Clinton shows to marked advantage. 
Clinton produces a plump, thin hulled grain, about six pounds 
heavier per bushel than ol varieties, and it grades high on the 
amarket, giving you oats of maximum feeding value.
