Cc. R. Logan, owner of Oak Grove plantation at Tchula, Miss., proudly 
displays a sample of his Coker’s Victorgrain 48-93 oats from which he 
combined 100 bushels per acre from his 220 acres. Mr. Logan, whose 
plantation is located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, thinks Victor- 
grain 48-93 oats the variety best suited for the Delta. “Its high yielding 
ability and fine quality grain, coupled with disease resistance and adapta- 
tion to combine harvesting, make it the most outstanding variety for 
Delta conditions,” he says.

PERFORMANCE RECORD IN TESTS 
Last year Victorgrain 48-93 ranked No. 1 in yield among 
the commercially-available varieties included in Station, Of- 
ficial, or County variety tests at Monroe, N. C.; Florence, 
S. C.; Athens, Plains, Fort Valley, and Cuthbert, Ga.; Alice- 
ville, Tallahassee, Auburn, and Marion Junction, Ala. 
Two-year averages of the four Official Variety Tests con- 
ducted during the 1951-52 period in the N. C. Coastal Plain 
section place this variety in No. 1 rank with an average yield 
of 117.1 bushels per acre. The two-year yield at Monroe, 
N. C., show that Victorgrain 48-93 led with an average of 
123.4 bushels per acre. For the same two-year period, it has 
led the list of commercially-available varieties at the Pee Dee 
Experiment Station in S. C.

In the two variety tests conducted in the Piedmont section 
of Georgia last year, the average yield of Victorgrain 48-93 
was higher than that of any other variety. It has led the 
three-year regional average of all varieties tested at seven 
locations in Central Alabama, and also placed first in the 
three-year sectional average of the same varieties tested at 
five locations in Southern Alabama. Its average yield in the 
twelve Central and Southern Alabama tests last year was 
75.5 bushels per acre. 
In the Mississippi State oat variety tests conducted at five 
locations over the three-year period 1950-52, this variety led 
the group of twelve varieties with an average yield of 60.7 
bushels per acre, or 5.9 bushels above its nearest competitor. 
This is part of a 75-acre crop of Coker’s Victorgrain 48-93 planted 
by E. L. Johnson of Siler City, N. C. Mr. Johnson did not keep an 
accurate yield report on all his crop. He reported, however, yields “that 
were fine all over.”’ On one 5-acre field which he did check, he combined 
549% bushels. Mr. Johnson says, “I am well pleased with Victorgrain 
48-93 oats.” 
Mr. R. D. Buchan of Hawkinsville, Ga., stands neck deep in a field of 
Coker’s Victorgrain 48-93 oats from which he harvested 60 bushels per 
acre “in spite of adyerse weather conditions.” Mr. Buchan says, “I 
believe this to be the best grain that I have ever grown or have ever 
seen grown in this section. Other farmers who have it are very well 
pleased also.”’ 
1953 BREEDER’S 
In the class of early oats, Coker’s Fulgrain has for many 
years held top place in popularity among Southern growers. 
It possesses the highly desirable combination of semi-spring 
growth habit and sufficient cold resistance to permit its use 
throughout all of the Coastal Plain and Piedmont sections. It 
provides excellent fall and winter grazing, then matures a 
grain crop in time to allow full development of lespedeza hay 
crops. Its short, stiff straw makes it well suited to combine 
harvesting. Fulgrain has an excellent kernel type—plump, 
heavy, thin-hulled, with practically no awns or basal hairs. 
It threshes clean and is economically processed. 
Being a sister selection of the original Victorgrain variety, 
its disease reactions are, in general, the same as Victorgrain 
and other Victoria derivatives. An exception is the fact that 
it is resistant to all three of the prevalent races of loose smut 
in the South. However, we recommend that all seed lots of 
oats be treated with Ceresan as good insurance against the 
development of new races of smut and other seed borne 
diseases. 
DESCRIPTION 
Plant: Semi-erect habit with wide, dark green blades. Cold 
resistant, profuse tillering, grows to medium height. 
Rust Resistance: Highly resistant to prevalent races. Sus- 
ceptible to race 101. 
LEFT—The long, well-balanced, heavily-fruited heads and the sturdy 
straw in this field of Fulgrain oats are reason enough why Coker’s Pedi- 
greed Fulgrain is a favorite oat with many of the South's leading oat 
growers. The picture shows Coker’s General Farm Manager Richard 8S. 
Cathcart with an armful of Fulgrain. 
This field of Coker’s Victorgrain 48-93 oats produced 106.3 bushels per acre. Boyd Hicks, the young South Carolina farmer who produced it, 
thinks Victorgrain 48-93 is the best variety ever developed for the South. ‘‘Naturally, I like its high yielding characteristic,” Mr. Hicks writes, 
“but I also like it because of its standing ability, its disease resistance, its bright plump grain, and because it’s the prettiest oats in the field 
I've ever seen.” 
REGISTERED SEED 
Smut Resistance: Resistant to all prevalent races of smut. 
Season: The earliest rust-resistant oat grown in the South; 
10 to 12 days earlier than Appler. 
Heads: Long, well-balanced, heavily fruited. 
Straw: Very stiff and storm resistant. Ideal combine type. 
Grains: Attractive, bright, resisting weather stain; plump, 
well-filled berry; low per cent hull, high feeding value. 
Occasionally bears a few awns. 
Preduction: One of the safest, most productive varieties we 
have ever bred or tested. 
Victoria Blight: Although not resistant, our strain of Ful- 
grain has considerable tolerance to this disease.

These Oats Treated With New Improved Ceresan 
BELOW—This is a seed field of Coker’s Fulgrain oats grown on the Coker 
farms in Hartsville for sales stock, The medium height, uniformity of 
growth, excellent standability, and heavily fruited heads are well- 
known characteristics of this popular variety, Shown in the picture is 
Mr. J. Wallace Talbert, salcs manager. 
ABOVE—Mr. Hubert Shuler, Jr., member of the firm of Shuler & Smoak, 
Coker dealer in Orangeburg, S. C., stands with Mr. Jerome B. McMichael, 
left, of Orangeburg in this field of Coker’s Fulgrain oats. Mr. McMichael 
combined 65 bushels per acre from this field. “I've found Coker’s Fulgrain a 
most satisfactory variety,’ Mr. McMichael says. “It produces high yields 
year after year. It has stiff straw which prevents lodging, and it performs 
well in the field under a wide range of conditions. I have produced as high 
as 85 bushels per acre.” 
BELOW—Seventy-seven bushels per acre were produced on this field of 
Coker’s Fulgrain oats grown on the farm of T. S. Cornelius in Hope 
Arkansas. Left to right are: Thomas Kinser, Coker dealer in Hope, Mr. 
Cornelius, and Oliver Adams, County Agent. :
