Book Description
Excerpt from Varieties of Oats for Illinois The system of rotating corn and oats is not so injurious to the productivity of the soil as growing corn every year. On the Morrow plots at the University of Illinois, where corn has been grown every year since 1879 Without soil treatment, the last 23-year average yield of corn is bushels an acre, whereas on the nearby plot that has been cropped to corn and oats alternately, the yield of corn for the same period is bushels an acre. The average yield of oats during this period is bushels an acre. The average value of the crops produced each year on the corn and oats plot, according to the average December 1 price, is an acre more than that of the corn from the continuous-corn plot. It is commonly conceded that changing from corn to oats and then back to corn is not a good rotation, yet there are certain advantages in the practice. Also the cost of labor required to produce a crop of oats is considerably less than that needed to grow a crop of corn. Another advantage which the culture of oats affords is the opportunity of oh taining a stand of clover. Altho barley is generally conceded to be the best nurse crop for clover and alfalfa, it is not greatly superior in this respect to the early-maturing varieties of oat-s.

Book Description
Excerpt from Standard Descriptions of Registered Oat Varieties While oat varieties often differ widely in many characters, some of these differences are much less apparent as a result of environmental conditions. In a study made by the writer in 1929, on the effect of environment on character expression in oats, it was found that the amount of variation in some characters, as a result of different conditions of growth, was too great to allow them to be useful for description purposes. It was evident therefore, that because of environ mental variation, a' careful study of character variability was necessary before even genera-l descriptions could be attempted.

Excerpt from The Cost of Production of Corn and Oats in Illinois in 1896 This fact shows the fallacy of the tables of some of the Illinois crop reports, which copy for a series of years the figures of cost obtained only in the first of the series.

Book Description
Excerpt from Oat Varieties in California For best crops oats should be sown early, for this crop is even more responsive to early seeding than other cereals. Late-sown oats may mature in warm dry weather with correspondingly poor yields and impaired quality. Oats shatter badly and should be harvested promptly at maturity.
