High yields and heavy grain with STONEVILLE’S Nortex 107 
Winter oats are the logical backbone of any year- 
round pasture program. In addition to providing an 
excellent grain and feed crop for your cattle, oats are 
a good winter cover crop to save plant nutrients from 
leaching. Results from experiment stations’ tests defi- 
nitely show that oat pasture also furnishes feed which 
is unusually rich in protein. 
Furthermore, winter oats are valuable in combat- 
ting soil erosion and in providing a well-balanced crop 
rotation. Authorities have pointed out that more 
crops can be interplanted with oats for future past- 
ures than any other crop. 
In planting winter oats you should try to select a 
healthy and productive variety—one around which you 
can build a long-range grain production and pasture 
improvement program. 
Extensive tests have proven that STONEVILLE’S 
Nortex 107 breeders oats offer many features which 
produce grain and grazing oats of superior quality. 
Adaptable to most areas throughout the South, STONE- 
VILLE’S Nortex 107 is noted for its high yields and 
heavy grain.
