NEW BLIGHT- RESISTANT OATS 
BRANCH OATS 
“Branch is a new oat variety developed by the Wisconsin 
Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. 
' Branch has tall straw of medium strength,‘’is mid-season 
to slightly late in ripening and is best adapted to soils of 
medium to low fertility. The kernels are nearly white, the 
yield is high, but the bushel weight is slightly lower than 
that of Bond varieties. Branch is resistant to smut and Hel- 
minthosporium disease and is moderate stem rust resistant.

BONDA OATS 
This variety yields about the same as Clinton but the straw 
is taller than either Mindo or Clinton. This is a distinct 
advantage where more tonnage is wanted. The straw is 
‘strong and about equal to Clinton and Mindo in standing 
ability especially on thinner soils. 
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 
seeded somewhat heavier on sandy soils. 
: The greatest value of this variety, however, lies in its abil- 
ity to resist the common oat diseases. Bonda is highly re- 
sistant to stem rust, crown rust and the smuts: It is also 
resistant to the new Helminthosporium blight disease which 
has seriously affected oats in recent years.

SHELBY OATS 
Shelby Oats is another advance in the breeding and selection 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 re- 
Sistance to race 45 of crown rust, halo blight and other common 
leaf spot diseases. Shelby Oats is not susceptible to stem rust and 
Helminthosporium blight and is more resistant to smuts than Clin- 
ton and Benton oats. 
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 late 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.

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 does 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, srfuts 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 old varieties, and it grades high on the 
market, giving. you oats of maximum feeding value.

It is a small, yellowish oat with a very 
thin hull and practically all meat, and 
with short, stiff straw. Does not lodge 
easily, Sixty Days Oats are extremely 
early and are especially fine in a dry sea- 
son. They usually yield 70 to 80 bushels 
per acre, at least. It adapts itself readily 
to the different soils. Matures in about 
80 days, rather than 60 as the name indi- 
eates. 4616—Radium Brand: 2 Ibs., 59e;3

soils. A dependable white oat that ripens 
in about ninety days. This variety is hardy, 
having been grown successfully in Canada, 
in sections about 1,000 miles northwest of
