ViOIGSEE SEED CORN— WHAT ABOUT IT? 



These are some of the things that no one can pos- 

 sibly eet away from regarding Buckbee's Pedigree 

 Seed Corn, that are brod for 



High Yield, High Oil, High Protein, High Prepotency 



1. "Like produces like." Offspring partakes of 

 physical and chemical characteristics of both par- 

 ents. 



2. Prepotency increased by breeding. 



3. Purity maintained by selecting forseed only ears 

 which are true to type; and by isolation. 



4. High Oil corn finishes beef and pork more 

 rapidly and requires fewer bushels than ordinary 

 corn. 



5. Oil is the most valuable by-product of the glu- 

 cose factories. They will pay you a premium on 

 high oil corn. 



6. High Protein makes corn a balanced ration for 

 growing cattle. Ordinary corn contains 10 per cent, 

 protein; increase l~.su per cent. 



7. A corn high in both oil and protein is the ideal 

 feeding com. Ordinary corn contains 4.25 per cent, 

 of oil; increase 5.60 per cent. 



8. The yield of high bred corn is from 10 to 40 per 

 ceut. greater than of ordinary corn. I n ped igree corn 

 i he per cent, of barren stalks is reduced to the min- 

 imum, while the per cent, of good ears is raised to 

 the maximum. 



9. One hundred bu. and more of high bred corn have 

 been produced where ordinary corn yielded sixty bu.
