USE GOOD SEED

Questions are coming into the County
Agents office regarding the use of feed
ing oats for seeding this Spring. If
the termination is alright they will do
but there is danger that they might
have heated sometime after threshing
or they may have been treated with
sulphur dioxide to bleach them and
make them appear to be white and this
might ruin them for seed
1t is safest to purchase seed oats of
the big late white oats or Fulghrun or
Red Rust proof varieties.
