YOU HAVE SOWED YOUR WILD OATS And you have harvested those that have not gone back into the ground. : This process has been carried on year after year and the conditions will grow worse as long as you stick to the old method of trying to separate Wild Oats from Oats, and other grains, with graders and fanning mills. g You have to stand the expense of sowing bad seed, and you will as long as you do not invest in one of our Wild at separators. It takes a special separator to do this work perfectly. The only separator on the market that catches Wild Oats by their whiskers and pulls them out is the HOILAND WIiLD OAT SEPARATOR.

'We went up this cannon about three miles when we cum to a little level spot whur the aspen trees wuz thick an’ the tiger lilly’s an’ columbines wuz scattered promiscously thru the moss an’ ferns.
