HYBRID CORN 



Increased acreage planted to Hybrid Corn in Iowa 

 proves it most profitable. 



35,000 acres in 1933; 1,295,000 acres in 1937. 



Because: Hybrid Corn increases yield 15% to 25%, 

 is resistant to smut, rust and wilt; has deeper and more 

 vigorous root systems, therefore less affected by drought 

 or severe wind, the uniform maturity practically elimi- 

 nates barren stalks and nubbins. Hybrid seed has never 

 been available in sufficient quantity to supply the demand. 

 Place your order early.
