FEvzEE WONDER OF THE AGE!
THE RAMSDELL NORWAY OATS
go TO 80 BUSHELS TO THE ACRE

In the winter Of 1869 bought III bushels of
this oats at cost of $l0per bushel in New York
I sowed them on fifteen acres of common land,
and bad as the season was, / made 600 bushels
equal to 52l bushels for one sown. From exper-
ments made in good land, / can safely say that
they will realize from 60 to 80 bushels for one
sOwn. On account of its branching, one bushel
is enough tosow to the acre; thin land a little
thicker.
One of its peculiar virtues is its stiff straw, de-
flying all ordinary storms and weather, The
heads are from II to l8inches long and from one
to fifteen hundred may be realized. fa1f-
Although the seed of this Oats cost me $40 per
bushel, and the same is now selling in the North
for 81. so per bushel, [ have determined, on &C
count of the hard times, to sell mine at S. per
bushel of 80 pounds; So per half bushel of l6
pounds $175 per peck of s pounds, and 81. for
4 pounds. For sale by Powell s. Backley, of
Staunton Shumate & johnson, Mt, Sidney; B.
