Department of Agri culture has received reports that high quality northern white oat Seed is being shipped into the South. It warns southern farmers that the sowing of these northern varieties results in low yields and e:rain of poor quality and urges them to sow the red oats commonly grbwn in the South. Although the northern oat seed may be of high quality, it will not produce a satisfactory crop in the South, the department oat special ists say. These northern white va rieties are more subject to diseases, ripen prematurely, and usually pro duce-grain of light weight under the warm climate of the South. Only seed of red-oat varieties s"uch as Fulghum, Red Rustproof, and Burt should be sown for grain production in the South. Fulghum (including some of its^fl strains, such as Kanota, Frazier.H and Franklin) is probably the best variety for spring sowing in most of the Cotton Belt, as well as in the red-oat region immediately to the North.. Red Rustproof usually is less satisfactory for spring sowing because it matures later than Ful ghum.
