Scarff’s Naturally Dried 
Carefully Selected Seed Corn 
Moisture is taken from the seed very slowly to 
follow the natural process of drying as nearly as 
possible and preserve all the vitality to withstand 
the adverse conditions at planting time. Our seed 
Is all grown on our own Farms and that of several 
neighbors whom we furnish seed and buy the crop 
as soon as husked. Our varieties are pure and true 
to type as is possible to get them. We use only the 
highest type of seed which we select ourselves with 
the greatest care. We carefully remove the tips and 
butts of all ears and run all of our seed over a large 
New Clipper Grader. A bushel of Seed Corn will 
plant six to seven acres, which makes the cost a very 
nominal amount and we are receiving many, many 
letters telling us of the increase in yield our corn 
has produced for our customers. You should grow a 
pure strain of corn and we are confident a few 
bushels of our seed will increase your yield mate¬ 
rially. Many of our customers depend upon us for 
their seed corn each season. It pays them and it 
will pay you. 
New equipment for drying air to be drawn over 
our seed has been added and now regardless of 
how rainy or wet the weather at husking time we 
can force only dry air over our corn and continue 
the process of lowering the moisture content. Should 
it be needed, this equipment will keep our Seed House 
above freezing temperature when outside it may be 
10 degrees or 20 degrees below zero. This equipment 
has been added at considerable cost to us but we 
are doing all In our power to give our customers 
the best seed that can possibly be offered. 
Plant only a pure strain of seed. Never has the 
price of good seed corn been as low as it is now. 
Less than 20c per acre. You cannot afford to de¬ 
pend on seed that has not been tested. 
Ear White Cap 
Corn 
WHITE CAP 
For Poor Land 
Insure Your Corn Crop by 
Planting Our Special Strain 
No other corn will produce more bushels of good solid ears on 
thin land than our special strain of White Cap. For over thirty 
years this variety has been grown by us, and no pains spared to 
improve it for the special purpose of high yield and well-developed 
ears. It not only yields well on thin land, but responds to high 
culture and rich soil as any other com. It will do well on either 
clay or black soil and every farmer should grow one or more fields 
of this variety to insure against crop failure. The ears are slightly 
tapering, averaging about 9*6 Inches long. Stalks with plenty of 
blades, making excellent fodder. It matures in 100 to 110 days. As 
the name implies, it is a white cap com—not a white corn, but 
yellow kernel with a small cob, and moderately deep grains filled 
out to the very ends. Price, per bu., $2.00; V 2 bu„ $1.25; peck, 
65 cents.

Early Mammoth Yellow 
Dent 
THE LARGEST, MEDIUM EARLY, CORN 
GROWN—MATURES IN 100-110 DAYS 
It Is fully ten days earlier than Reid’s Yellow 
Dent and yields more bushels per acre. The 
fodder is medium large, stands erect and carries 
ears about 4 % to 5 % feet high. This variety Is 
ideal for early ensilage, the exceptionally heavy 
yield of corn makes especially rich ensilage and 
fodder makes good tonnage per acre. It is not 
uncommon to make yield of over 100 bushels 
per acre. The ears are large averaging on fairly 
fertile ground 11 inches in length with 16 to 18 
rows per ear. The grains are deep and broad 
and cover the cob well at each end. It has 
great vitality and makes very quick growth. 
An exceedingly profitable variety to grow on 
either clay or dark heavy soil. Price, bu., $2.00; 
V4 bu., $1.25; peck, 65c.
