I became interested with Dr. Grcves last spring in the introduction oi forty-five bushels in the vicioity of Knoxville. I confess I had some misgivings as to their success South, notwithstanding their su perior qualities over other varieties seeuieil tolie thoroughly established in the North, for I had observed some doubts expressed by members of tho. New York Farmers’ Club as to thtfj being grown successfully In tho South. In . nler. however, to make a full undfair t* st Of what they would do in our climate and soil, w* concluded to scatter them among a number of pfar.tbrJ.in different localities and on different kinds of land*. Hence I am enabled to speak of their success on a variety of soils, having furnished seed to twelve planters in this and a Jjoining counties.

I proeurod several bushels of this reed last year, and g-.vethem out to ‘gentlemen to sow for mo. with a view of testing them in oursoil and climate, and while growing and harvesting they have bean tho wonder and admiration of all who havese-n them. They were sown 15th to '-(ah of March, and the yield is tbreo time3 greater than lhat of other oats in the same land. Parties who have not hesitated to pronounce them a humbug are now willing to accord to them all you claim. They overcome'a difficulty in the production of small grains in this country on enr rich lands, being capable of thebighcstculture on deep est soil, bv their great development of streneth in stalks to'support a corresponding'length' and weight .of heads.

The increase in the yield is fully 100 percent, over the other varieties, and the quality is also better. The great strength of the straw preventing, to a great extent, lodgine, especially adapts these oats to this latitude where severe wind etorms ate not unusual during harvest season. Yours,' V,\ P. ELLIOT, of S. H. Davis & Co., Grain Dealers. Fully Up to ^Expectation. Middlbtox, Laltikorr Co., Md., July 31. 1969 I purchased of you, lost spring, one-half bushel of your now Oats, and the same were sown about tho 10'h of April on about half »U acre of ground in a fair statu ofcultivation. The result is folly np to my expectations of this grain from your description of them. The spring was backward and cold weather dontinued anti! May loth, which of course kept back the oats, but after once started they crew rapidly. Mr neighbor form ers admired them much, and estimate the yield from the half bushel at 30 bushels. The yield would have been much heavier if sown in a clear patch. 1 put them in a peach orchard and the ground was too much shaded. I heartiiy endorse aud recommend them. * I am. gentlemen, yours, etc., F. J. WHEELER. “Tho Way to Seaven is Op<?n to All.” Selma, Ala., July 26, 1869. D. W. RAMSDELL & CO.- ' De <b Sirs : In reference to those Norway Oats, we preparednne acre to suit ourselves in a field of 60 acres ot different kinds of oats, and wo have cut off 8.000 pounds of Norway Oafs and straw. It is r.ow slacked up, and we can’t tell what the yield will be until thrashed. lVa enclose a piece of tho butt or lower end of one of the stalks. They grew six feet high on an average, with broad leaves resembling corn blades, said heads about one foot long. We had an excellent season for oats and fine crops, bnt tho Norwuys were much tho best. We propose to show what wo do to all our farmers who wish to see, and then let them think end act for themselves. Tee way to Heaven is open to ail the world, bat very few take the troublo to steer by that compass, .md it i- so with farmers. Wo have, at this t iaoe, a splend.d crop of cotton : our neighbors have very poor, indifferent ones, but if it suits them, being none of our business, wo shall try to not loso much sleep over it. _ Yours truly, GEO. O. BARKER A CO. Jas. F, Groves, M. 25., of Tennessee, on the ETeur York Farmers’ Club. Dear Sirs: After carefully examining tho testimony of your agents, Messrs.. Jones A Clark, given in the New Vo-K Tribune. I hocame satisfied that you had been successful in introdneieg a new and valuable variety of oats, and I resolved to try what could be done in the “Sunny South.” A little convcrs wtion with * some ef mi neighbors resulted in our ordering 160 bushels. The proper time to sow here is last of February, bnt owing to extreme cold weather wo were two or three weeks late. They were put on different (arms within a range of twenty-five miles of Knoxvillo. Two farmers put it la b7 drilling, the others, broadcast, the 160 bushel* covering 180 acres in all. The crops are now harvested hut not thrashed. The result thus far asoer- tainej may safclv he >uraaicJ up as follows: 1st. The largest part was seeded with one bushel to the acre, somo three pecks, and in ono instance half a bushel- 2d. Tho growth was rapid, roots striking deep, and putting up often as many as twenty stalks from each seed. Sd. The height of stalks was from four and a half to six feet, heads from ten to twenty iaohes long, leara* half an in'-h to one inch wide. 4th. Thennitcd testimony of the farmers who grew onr erope i*. that they will yield more than twice as much as any other varie'ies known hero. '5th. The kernel is well filled, tho hull thin, and the flour very wmte. 6th. In consequence of the sizo and strength of the stalk it can be crown on the richest land without danger of lodging, which cannot be said of any other oat known in tho South. 7th. We are satisfied that not over three pecks should be sown to tho acre, while by drilling- one-half bushel is sufficient. . . . . In conclusion, allow mo to say tha’ cer’ain members of tho Farmers’ Club of New York have done you and us great injustice in representing that the Norway Oats could not be grown at the South successfully. None of them could have based their opinion unon a knowledge of facts, when it 1b well known here that thus far all good varieties heretofore grown at tho North have succeeded equally well here, while the Nor way* have exceeded our highest expectations.

Bibs: I sowed 16 pounds of your Norway Oats. halTon a poor pieco of land by the ride of some blaek spring oats, and the ha*ance on some rich tobacco land. The first wereat Jo Art a third higher than the oth ers by their tide, and double the kernels on tha heads. The drought damaged our oat crop seriously; in. fac’, it is about a failure, but I find on measuring that I have 14 bushel*. I am so well pleased with them that I shall sow a good part of them again, and would not part with it for aoy money. Yours respectfully, ‘ ABRAM CROS8. Forty-five Knshels from One-half Soshel cf Seed. Newburgh, Md.. JnTy 29. 1869. Gextlemrx: I purchased half a bushel of your Norway Oats from Jones A Clark, New York. They were injured by thedrouglit to a considerable extent, but I find on measuring that I have a yield of ferty- fivo bushels from tho half bushel of seed. -They ripen about the same time as thacomcmn oat and are raueh heavier. Very respectfully yours, P. A. L. CONTEK. Perfectly Satisfied. M. Ferguson'. Crains Creek, N. 0., writes, August 12,1869: Thereupon here ha*been most, unfavorable for oats, nnd I put them on poor ground. I have not thrashed them yet. but it's sufficient to say I am per fectly satisfied with tho Norway Oats. I find them is from three to four times as many kernels on the head* of Norway* as there are on the other varieties. We generally sow in the fall season. Will it do to sow these in the fall? ■’ j. * Note.—Wc never have known of their being sown in the fall, hut wo can see no reason why they will not do well and even better in some sections. Adapted to the South. S. H. HiBsrs. Knoxville. Term., write*. August 2,1869: I have just harve^cd 17 acres of your Norway Oats and have them nowin barn. I have been a former for 35 years, during which time I have tested a great many varieties of oats, and I can truly say that I have never seen any oat in the South that will compete with yours in productiveness and stout, heavy growth. I consider them peculiarly adapted to the soil of the South. I am satisfied that they will yield at least double that of any other variety known to us, on thosaaao soil and with tho same culture. ' Tho above are a few of many hundred letters received. The demand for this Seed is now so great that it is safe to say. that many orders will have to be returned unfilled. Those desiring Seed should order at once. The assurances of a large demand next season for Seed will make this the most profitable crop the farmer can grow. A few acres will prove a rich harvest. Judging from the result of tho past year, WO be lieve 6500 would be a low estimate of the profits of a single acre. The demand is certain. The Seed will be furnished at the following rates: .
