EL TTTTTLTETLLLELLLLLLL 
Developing a distinguished strain of 
Wee breeders oats such as STONEVILLE’S 
Nortex 107 does not happen overnight. 
Seven years of rigorous testing, note tak- 
ing, laboratory analysis, and field observations took 
place before it was released for sale. The outstanding 
yield and quality characteristics of this oat have been 
retained in a well organized maintenance program. At 
the same time tens of thousands of new selections are 
grown annually in an all-out effort to supply farmers 
with a new and improved variety.

A few facts about the development of 
STONEVILLE’S Nortex 107 Breeders Oats 
in 1920 at Denton, Texas, by the Texas Experiment

in areas where the Helminthosporium victoriae blight 
wiped out certain varieties. 
TESTED AND PROVED 
In addition to our own tests, STONEVILLE’S Nortex 
107 has been included in the tests conducted by the 
experimental stations in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkan- 
sas, Louisiana and Georgia for the past several years. 
In every case it has made an outstanding record.
