SOW ROHRER’S CERTIFIED OATS FOR HI-YIELDS 
OATS, Certified Ajax 
Ajax is recommended for early planting as a high 
yielding variety, where a tall medium stiff straw is 
satisfactory. Ajax is about 6 days later than Clinton. 
From 5 to 7 inches taller. Higher in yield where lodging 
is not a problem. This variety was originated i in Canada 
where our seed is grown. In Pennsylvania and New 
Jersey state tests the past few years Ajax has been one 
of the top yielders. The seed we offer is Registered by 
the Canadian Department of Agriculture and is top 
quality. See Price-List. 
OATS, Certified Beaver 
A medium white, early variety with much disease 
resistance. Was introduced tn 1939 and is a cross be- 
tween Vanguard and Erban. In three years’ test at 
Ottawa Experimental Farms, Beaver Oats outyielded 
all other varieties. Grains large and plump; straw 
stiff, 34 to 36 inches in length. The Oats we are offering 
were grown in Canada and are Certified No. 1 seed. 
We suggest you sow a few acres of Beaver Oats this 
year. These Oats weigh 42 pounds per measured bushel. 
Sow two bushels by measure per acre. See Price-List. 
OATS, Certified Clinton 
This variety was bred especially for resistance to 
the more hazardous strains of rust, smut, and blight. 
Clinton Oats are medium early and produce high 
yields in the Oat-growing sections. They have out- 
yielded the older susceptible varieties. Clinton Oats 
are resistant to Helminthosporium and show heavier 
weight per bushel than the older varieties, less hull, 
and higher “‘meat”’ percentage. Highly recommended 
by local State Experiment Stations for spring Oat- 
producing sections. 
An_ excellent combine Oats. They usually stand 
well for a period of seven to ten days after grain is 
first dry enough for safe storage, resulting in less shat- 
tering in the field. See Price-List. 
Certified Clinton Oats 
OATS, Certified Craig 
This is one of the newest varieties. It ranks very 
high in yield, producing about 10% more grain than 
Clinton. Craig is a little shorter in the straw than 
Clinton and not quite so stiff. Do not sow on ground 
where lodging may be a problem. Sow 21% bushels 
per acre. See Price-List.

Certified Beaver Oats 
Domestic Rye Grass 
One of the best grasses for a cover-crop. Among the 
most important characteristics of Rye Grass is its deep 
rooting system. Roots well distributed through the 
soil are a much more desirable form of organic matter 
than top, which, if large when plowed down, may be 
actually detrimental. A good Rye Grass cover-crop 
turns over in a mass like a real sod when plowed. Can 
be sown before or immediately after last cultivation. 
For a cover-crop, sow 15 pounds per acre. 
When sown alone for pasture, use 20 pounds per acre. 
In mixtures with other grasses, reduce the Rye Grass 
accordingly. See Price-List. 
Canada Field Peas 
Used both as a green feed and as a fertilizer. The 
amount of feed produced per acre ts very large. Ranks 
very high as a fertilizer, either when plowed under or 
pastured off. Canada Field Peas are most profitable. 
when sown with oats. The oats will support the vines 
and lessen the trouble of harvesting. Sow 114 bushels 
of Peas per acre, and about the same amount of oats. 
It will pay you to inoculate your Peas with Legume-Aid. 
See Price-List. 
Moore Barley 
This is one of the newer, best-recommended varieties 
of spring Barley. A good yielder. Barley culture ts 
similar to that of spring wheat or oats. To produce 
large crops of Barley, the soil should be well prepared 
to receive the seed. Barley should be sown as early as 
oats, if possible, but will stand late planting better than 
oats. Sow 2 bushels per acre. See Price-List.
