Choice Of Qait Variety Important In Central B.C. The summer of 1954 provided fur- ther evidence that only early ma- turing oats should be grown in cen- tral British Columbia. Many oat crops. still remain in the field as they were not sulficiently mature before weather conditions stopped the har- vest. In the main, the oat crops not harvested were Victory oats. Victory. under a variety of conditions have matured 6 io 16 days later than Ajax in tests at the Prince George Dxperi- mental Station, Federal Department of Agriculture. In contrast, a large number of heavy yielding crops of Ajax and Dasix were harvested in 1954. It is conceded that Victory outyields Ajax and Dasix wheu grown under favourable conitions, but work conducted at Prince George over several years has’shown that this yield advantage is offset liy losses occurring in less favourable seasons. One of the reasons why Ajax_and Dasix mature so much earlier is that they ripen more readily under cool, moist conditions than does Victory. This is evidenced by the fact that in 1947 when over 11 inches of rain fell in the growing season, A. tured 16 days earlier than Victory. In 1942 when 6 inches of rain fell in a comparable period, Ajax matur- ed only six days earlier than Victory. Since weather records show that cool moist conditions frequently occur ia central British Columbia, the use of early maturing varieties would cer- tainly help to safeguard against a series of crop failures. It is suggested by B. C. Appleby of the Prince George Experimental Station, that producers obtain a sup- ply ot Dasix jax seed oats. for the coming season and be more as- sured of a successful oat crop in 1955.
