Canadian Seed Oats

We wish to announce to the
farmers that we have a car of
early variety Canadian Seed
Oats. These oats came from
pure seed stock imported into
western Canada by the govern
ment from Scotland about two
years ago. They are very
heavy, big yielders and early.
This is the class of seed our
farmers should SOW, Owing
to the duty and freight, these
oats cost a little more than
ordinary oats. but are worth
it to the farmer who plants
the seed. There is no grade
or variety better or worth any
more. We have spent con-
siderable time in selecting
these oats, and will have only
a limited amount to offer, so
let US have your orders early.
We would like to see every
farmer in the county try at
least a few bushels. These
oats are cleaned and shipped
to us in 112-lb. sacks or 81
bushels, and are worth Csc
per bushel, including sack.
We have other seed oats for
considerably less money, but
should like to see our farmers
take advantage of this oppor-
tunity Of getting some of
these Canadian oats for seed.
Yours truly,
