The Mohawk Oat was released by Cornell Uni- 
versity to seed producers in 1947. Mohawk has 
exceptionally high yielding ability with high re- 
sistance to Helminthosporium blight and_ rust, 
which makes it a very dependable variety. Very stiff, 
straw, early maturing, medium height, and heavy 
meaty kernel. A variety of wide adaptation, highly 
recommended for all sections of our territory. An 
excellent sort with which to make seedings. On 
fertile dairy farms where many other Oats tend to 
lodge, Mohawk has shown very good standability. 
Sow 2 bushels per acre. 
Advance Is a new Oat released by Cornell in 1949, 
It is a medium early Oat, being two to four days 
‘later than Mohawk and 6 to 8 inches taller. The 
straw is stiffer than the common tall midseason va- 
rieties such as Lenroc and Goldwin. It has a plump, 
meaty, high-test weight kernel. Advance has disease 
resistance similar to Mohawk and Clinton, being 
highly resistant to blight and rust. This Oat is 
adapted to all Oat-growing areas of the Northeast 
and is especially recommended to those dairymen 
desiring more straw than that provided by Mohawk 
and Clinton. Try a few of this new variety, and sow 
2 bushels per acre. 
A white-kernel Canadian Oat, tall and outstand- 
ing in yield. Ajax was the highest yielding Oat in 
the 1949 regional Oat trials i New York State. It 
has medium stiff straw and resistance to blight and 
race 45. This Oat is widely adapted and well recom- 
mended throughout the Northeast and states west 
of us. It matures about the same time as Moore and 
Wisconsin 38 Barley for Oat and Barley mixtures. 
Sow 21% bushels per acre.

A new, high-yielding, uniform, short, midseason 
Oat developed at Cornell. Resistant to smut and 
Helminthosporium blight and more resistant to rust 
than any other variety. It is of late maturity so as 
not to conflict with wheat harvest. It will be released 
for the first time this year and we expect a strong 
demand. Sow 2 bushels per acre.

The Heaviest American Oat Grown 
While mm search of new varieties of Oats of value in the Northwest, 
where the best Oats are grown, we found, in Wyoming, several fields 
of a new variety with tall, stiff straw standing shoulder high and the 
heaviest American Oat grown. When these fields were threshed, the 
yield was over 100 bushels per acre and the weight over 45 pounds per 
measured bushel of pure white, thin-hulled grain. We purchased the 
entire lot, and from this source secured our stock seed of this, in our 
opinion, the heaviest and most productive American Oat. This was 
some twenty years ago. During that time we have distributed over 
600,000 bushels to our customers, and wherever grown it has given 
wonderful yields in comparison with other varieties grown alongside. 
Crops averaging “just twice” the yield of common Oats have been 
reported to us by our customers. This Oat 1s of the Swedish type and 
being generations from the original importation, the law requires us to 
use the words “variety unknown.” 
Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats have made wonderful yields for a large 
number of our customers in many states. We read of remarkable 
records and big yields of Oats in the western states, under irrigation, 
but right here, in the East, Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats have produced 
record-breaking crops. Average weight 40 pounds per measured bushel. 
Sow 21% bushels per acre.

The Clinton Oat was developed by the Iowa Experiment Station 
and like Mohawk is resistant to blight and rust. It 1s very similar to 
Mohawk in performance and adaptation. Sow 2 bushels per acre.
