A Typical Sample of Clinton Oats 
CLINTON OATS 
In 48 Community Grain trials of Clinton Oats, the aver- 
age 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 3314 
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, smuts and 
leaf spots. In wet years, when diseases are apt to ap- 
pear, 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 maxi- 
mum feeding value.

SHELBY 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. 
Shelby Oats is not susceptible to stem rust and Hel- 
minthosporium blight and is more resistant to smuts 
than Clinton and Benton.

60-DAY, JULY or KHERSON 
Tt 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 season. 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 indicates.

WHITE CROSS or __ 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE No. 19 
A high yielding extra early white oat, with a taller 
straw and a larger kernel than is usually found in 
early oats. It is a cross between the Big 4, a large 
white oat, and the early yellow 60 Day. The White 
Cross is especially desirable on the lighter soils, be- 
cause of its tall straw, whereas other early oats grow 
too short for convenient harvesting. It ripens extremely 
early and is a good rust resister.

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-sea- 
son 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 Helminthosporium disease and is moderate 
stem rust resistant.

AJAX 
A Canadian variety that has given wonderful perform- 
ance here in the United States. It is good yielding, 
white grain, medium in. size and high in bushel weight. 
Early maturing, good length and strength of straw, 
resistant to the common races of stem rust, moderately 
resistant to crown rust and with a high degree of re- 
sistance to loose and covered smut and to halo-blight. 
Adapted to a wide range of soils.

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 than older varieties and for this reason 
should be seeded somewhat heavier on sandy soils. 
The greatest value of this variety, however, lies in its 
ability to resist the common oat diseases. Bonda is 
highly resistant 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,

STATE’S PRIDE or 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE No. 7 
Earliest yellow oat. In spite of unfavorable weather, 
State’s Pride yielded 75.7 bushels per acre. Earliest of 
all yellow oats and best as a nurse crop and escapes 
rust, because of its earliness. Does not lodge easily, 
but fills out the kernels if it does, making it especially 
desirable for rich soils. Has a very short, stiff straw. 
It is a yellow oat, bright, thin hulled, meaty and is 
about the best oat.

productive, with strong stiff straw, bearing long heads 
filled with good-weight grain. It has demonstrated its 
ability to produce fine crops on sandy land and on the 
fertile prairie or clay loam soils. A dependable white

SAND VETCH 
Often called Hairy Vetch because of its downy or hairy 
stems and also called Winter Vetch, as when sown in 
the fall, it lives through the severest winters. Planted 
in spring, it makes its full growth in the same year, 
and then does not winter through. » 
It will do well on poor land, and especially on sandy 
land, enriching it more than any other crop. Inoculate 
before planting. For hay, sow 50 pounds with one 
bushel grain, preferably Oats, Barley or Rye per acre; 
for seed, sow 20 to 30 lbs, with 1 bu. grain. Drill in 1 
to 2 in. deep. Sow from early spring until September.

Grows any place where grain can be raised where 
wheat, oats and barley would be a failure. It is relished 
by all classes of stock; splendid for hay and fattens 
in the green state. 
Sow on ground prepared as you would for wheat or 
oats, either broadeast or drill, at the rate of 214 bu.
