We believe thoroughly that the prolific types of corn are the 
most profitable for planting in the South,especially on uplands. 
We also recognize fully that there is the objection that the 
ears of all prolific varieties are comparatively small, and the 
fact that there are tens of thousands of farmers throughout the ' 
South that positively will not plant a small eared corn. 
We arc seedsmen doing business with peopie with all soi is 
ot opi lions about corn; people situated in all the Southern 
States and farming on all classes of land. Many thousands 
want prolific varieties, other thousands want the big eared va- ! 
rieties. As seedsmen it’s a part of our business to grow and be 
able to supply all these different types. It is always our aim 
to furnish a planter the best there is ofgenei.il type he wants, j 
For the man who wants to grow a “big eared” one or two 
ear to the stalk corn, we know of no corn better than the 
“Georgia Champion.” We have been growing it for four years. 
W’e grew it three years before we offered it for sale, because we 
wanted to be sure of its heavy cropping qualities. We have 
grown it under conditions of extreme drought and underex- ‘ 
cessive rain. has “made good” every year. It has been a ! 
safe and satisfactory bottom land corn for us and it will be safe 
for you. 
we don’t recommend our “Georgia Champion” or any 
other “big eared” variety for poor land unless It is well pre¬ 
pared and well fertilized. Any corn with its great vigor and 
heavy croppingqualltieslsnotgoingto do Its best unless prop¬ 
erly fed. This comes through either naturally strong soil or 
else heavy fertilizing. If you can give either of these condi- | 
tions our “Georgia Champion” is not going to disappoint you. 
The illustration on this page is from a photograph of ears ; 
taken from our seed crop of “Georgia Champion.” Please note 
how perfectly the ears are filled out. This shows “breeding 
up.’’ You never see sorry corn fill out like that. They repre- 1 
sent the right kind of seed corn.the kind that puts grain on the. ' 
cob wherever there is room for grain to stick. i 
“Georgia Champion” makes about the largest,finest.whltest 
grains we have ever seen, and we are sure it will please you 1 
either for meal, for stock feeding or for “roasting ears.” In I 
growth it is extra strong and vigorous; plenty of large blades ' 
for either “fodder pulling” or “shredding.” the latter being 
advisable. If there is one sorry, unprofitable job in this world 
it’s “fodder pulling.” Cut your corn stalks and shred them. If j 
you can’t afford a shredder, club together in your neighbor- ! 
hood and buy one. ! 
The ears of “Georgia Champion” are 10 to 13 Inches long , 
and well filled, one and two to a stalk. If you have bottom ‘ 
land or even rich or highly fertilized upland, “Georgia Cham- 1 
pion” is bound to please you.

HASTINGS’ 
CORN BOOK I 
If a grower wants to get paying results In any j 
crop he has got to use best methods. | 
We publish a 28 page booklet on Corn In the South. 
It gives the best methods used by practical corn 
growers in Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, 
Louisiana and other Southern States. It gives the 
Williamson plan. It gives plain directions for grow- ' 
ing 100 bushels of corn or more per acre. If you fol¬ 
low the plain directions given in this booklet you will 
never have to buy a bushel of corn from the merchant 
or grain dealer. You will have corn to sell instead of 
to buy. It will pay you to have it, and there is nothing 
in these corn growing plans that can't be carried out 
by any reasonably intelligent farmer in the South. 
Our corn book Is not for sale, but if you buy seed 
I corn from us this spring in any quantity we shall be 
pleased to send you a copy on request.
