MAINE $40 OATS.

In 1920, nearly 100 Maine farm
ers grew Maine $40 oats in compari-
son with their own seed. Based on
the results obtained, it was estimat-
ed that the crop for the entire State
would have been 100000 bushels
larger that year If every acre of oats
planted had been Maine $40 For
this reason. the station wishes to
encourage the growing of this supe-
rior oat, but it can furnish but a
small part of the needed seed. Grow
ers who have produced a clean, we'll
matured crop of this variety should,
if possible, dispose of it for local
planting next year, instead of feed
ing 1t out.
Any purchaser of Maine $40 seed
oats in 1922 who wishes to sell
part or all of his crop for seed, can
have this seed tested for purity and
termination free of charge by the
experiment station. If you send
sample, make sure it is representa-
tive one. A good way to obtain
such a sample is to take peck or
more from various parts of the bin
or bins, and mix thoroughly together
and then sample the mixture. A pint
of oats is enough to send for the
termination and purity test. If you
wish to know the weight per bushel,
