CLINTONS AT THEIR BEST 
We have done a lot of experimenting with seed Oats. Through this 
experimenting, we have developed a special grading process. Insofar as 
we know no one else has ever used this method in exactly the same man- 
ner or degree that we have used. This method removes at least 30% of the Oats from the 
average seed harvested. This goes far beyond the requirements for cleaning certified seed. 
This special handling shows up in the crop to a very noticeable degree. 
RESULTS OBTAINED 
We sowed our Golden Beauty brand of Clintons next to certified Clintons and they looked 
like a different variety of Oats. The soil was the same, but the Golden Beauty brand stood about 
6 inches higher in the field. Many farmers sowed those Oats and we have yet to hear from one 
who was not enthusiastic. Some of our most prominent farmers in this area who grow differ- 
ent varieties have told us our Golden Beauty brand Clintons were the best they had on their 
farm. Yield increases of 10 to 15 bu. per acre were reported. 
In the official Story County Iowa yield contest, these Oats were first and about 15 bu. ahead of the second best which were 
Cherokee. Certified Clintons were third. Many farmers spoke to us early, to be sure of getting some more of this seed for next 
year. Very few dealers are set up to process Oats as we do our Golden Beauty brand. Those who have seen it grow figure they 
are money ahead by feeding their own crops and using this specially graded seed. 
CHARACTERISTICS OF CLINTON 
A number of different Hybrids have been developed in the past few years. For a consistent per- 
formance over the largest territory, we consider the Clintons still in the first rank. Produced up to 
123.8 bu. per acre. Fine, meaty, thin hulled grains. Strong straw that stands up even after grain is 
dead ripe. Widely adapted to different soils and growing conditions. Highly disease resistant. Re- 
sist smut, most traces of rust and perhaps most important of all, resistant to blight. That is what 
has caused such tremendous damage to many of the older varieties in the past few years. You 
ean’t afford to take chances. The extra profit in these Oats is a big thing. 
MORE BUSHELS PER ACRE GUARANTEED 
In preparing our Golden Beauty brand of Clinton Oats all of the small weak immature kernels are 
eliminated. You get the strongest largest grain. They are the kind that make vigorous big healthy 
plants. It is true that a pound of this extra stock does not contain as many grains as the small 
seeded kind. Therefore you should sow.at a fairly good rate of around 2% bu. per acre. We have 
seen what these Oats can do, and back up our belief in their superiority with this guarantee. “Sow 
Berry’s Golden Beauty Brand Clintons next to any other Clintons. Keep a record of yields at har- 
vest time. If our Golden Beauty do not outyield the other, we will refund you the difference be- 
tween what you paid us for our Oats and the cost of our ordinary non certified Clintons.” There- 
fore this brand will cost you no more than our ordinary Clintons unless they yield more per acre. You 
take no chance whatsoever on your extra investment. You have every assurance of getting much 
larger profit. 
GOOD GERMINATING SEED SCARCE 
A lot of the Oats that were harvested last summer are not too strong in germination. Don’t 
take any chance on sowing seed that does not test high and strong in germination. Our seed oats 
are largely of our own contract growing. Every lot gets a very accurate test, so we know they will 
grow well. The extra money that you spend for better seed, will come back to you several times 
over in the way of increased yields. Compared to some seed that will be sown this spring, it will 
mean the difference between success and failure. It will pay you to demand Berry’s Golden Beauty 
brand. See Item No. 174 on Price List. This seed is GRO-COATED.
