DIBBLE’S 
Short Oat Varieties 
Craig 
Craig is a new variety released by the Cornell Agricultural 
Experiment Station in 1951. High yielding, uniform, shorter 
than Mohawk and nearly a week later. The maturity is late 
enough so as not to conflict with the wheat harvest. Craig 
is superior to Mohawk, Clinton and other common varieties 
in leaf-rust resistance. We had yields of 100 bushels per acre 
this past year. The Craig Oat is our outstanding offer among 
the short varieties. Sow 2 to 214 bushels per acre. 
John Barker, Henrietta, N. Y., harvesting Certified Craig Oats that 
yielded just under 100 bushels per acre on 69 acres. 
WMohawh 
The Mohawk Oat was released by Cornell University 
to seed producers in 1947. Mohawk has exceptionally 
high yielding ability with high resistance to Helminthos- 
porium 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 to 2% bushels 
per acre. 
Chiutou 
The Clinton Oat was developed by the Iowa Experiment 
Station and like Mohawk is resistant to blight and rust. It 
is very similar to Mohawk in performance and adaptation. 
Sow 2 to 21% bushels per acre, 
on!

The Heaviest American Oat Grown 
While in search of new varieties of Oats of value in the 
Northwest, where the best Oats are grown, we found, in Wy- 
oming, 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 wher- 
ever 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 is of the Swedish type and being gen- 
erations 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 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 varieties 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 re- 
sistant 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 to 24% bushels per acre. 
ptyar 
A white-kernel Canadian Oat, tall and outstanding in 
yield. Ajax was the highest yielding Oat in the 1949 regional 
Oat trials in New York State. It has medium stiff straw and 
resistance to blight and race 45. This Oat is widely adapted 
and well recommended throughout the Northeast and states 
west of us. It matures about the same time as Moore and 
Erie Barley for Oat and Barley mixtures. Sow 214 bushels 
per acre,
