An acre of corn yielding fifteen or twenty bushels takes just as much land, 
just as much labor, and just as much seed as does the acre yielding fifty or 
sixty bushels. Climatic conditions of the season have much to do with the 
yield of corn but there are four very important factors that you as a corn 
grower can control. By taking care of these four factors properly you are 
taking a long step toward the big yield which every farmer desires. 
These factors are: First, fertility of the soil; second, cultivation of the 
soil; third, quality of the seed corn; and fourth, germination of the seed corn. 
The fertility can be easily taken care of by fertilizing with manure or a good 
commercial fertilizer. 
The cultivation can also be taken care of without much trouble, and is gen- 
erally done very well. 
The quality "of the seed corn and the germination of the seed corn are two 
factors that are often neglected. The difference between good, large, well 
filled ears and small, shallow grained ears is very marked in the yield of 
an acre. 
Other things being equal the yield depends largely on the stand. Owing to 
adverse conditions it may be impossible at some times to get a good stand with 
seed of good vitality but it certainly is impossible, even under the best of 
conditions, to get a good stand with corn that will grow only 50 or 60 per cent. 
It is therefore of greatest importance that only the best and most vigorous 
seed corn be planted. If you are planting your own seed be sure that you test 
it, and if you are buying your seed corn be sure that you buy it from a good, 
reliable seed house. 
Our corn is all selected in the ear, then tipped, butted, shelled, and cleaned. 
And above all, it is all tested for germination and we know that it will grow. 
We are very fortunate in being located in the Kaw Valley, which produces 
some of the best corn in the country. 
GRADED CORN. All of our corn is tipped, butted, shelled, and cleaned, but 
if you wish it graded we can do this also. We have one of the best corn graders 
on the market and while this takes out a good many of the uneven kernels it 
of course does not do a perfect job. Grading does improve the quality and we 
can do this for 25 cents per bushel extra. 
Postage. The prices of seed corn and other field seeds do not include postage. 
KAW CHIEF 
KAW CHIEF. We have been growing and selling Kaw Chief Corn for several 
years now and every year we add a host of names to our list of satisfied 
purchasers of this corn. If you have never grown Kaw Chief be sure and try 
it this year. We know you will be pleased. The corn is of a deep, golden yellow 
color, the ears are large, measuring up to 13 and 14 inches in length and have 
16, 18, and 20 rows to the cob. The grower had in mind constantly not so 
much a very large ear, but an ear that was well filled at both tip and butt, 
and kernels that were large and square shouldered. This is the kind of corn 
that yields heaviest when shelled. A bushel of Kaw Chief Corn on the ear 
will yield 58 to 60 pounds of shelled corn. Kaw Chief Corn matures in from 
95 to 105 days, and ordinarily yields from 75 to 80 bushels per acre and makes 
a good growth of foliage. It does well on both upland and bottom land. Our 
supply of Kaw Chief is always exhausted before the end of the season so send 
your order early. Per lb., 10c.
