Hardie’s Tested Seed Corn 
For over 36 years, wo have given especial thought and care to the selection of seed corn 
which would give best results under the varying growing conditions in this section, and by 
offering only the choicest-tested varieties, we have now become widely known as a dependa¬ 
ble source of seed for this most important crop. We offer Northern and Southern varieties. 
Some growers prefer the one; others pin their faith to the other. From our 36 years’ ex¬ 
perience, we believe that the judicious farmer should mix his crop—planting some of both 
the early maturing Northern corns and some of the later Southern varieties. The earlier 
Northern corns often make before our occassional dry seasons set in. 
There are a good many factors that determine the yield of corn per acre. Some of these 
are beyond the control of the grower, but there is one very important factor that every 
grower can control, and that is the quality of the seeds that are planted. We call attention 
to the error many people make, when planting corn early, in having it too deep. The deeper 
you plant the colder the ground is, and especially with soft corns, the seed is apt to rot 
before the ground gets warm enough to germinate it. resulting in a poor stand. Early 
planting of corn should be planted shallow to produce an early and good stand.

“FOR HAY AND PASTURE” F" ^ 
Alfalfa is a very profitable crop, yielding tin e<* to five cut¬ 
tings a year and the hay is most nutritious. It is claimed that 
the feed value «»f a ton of Alfalfa is equal to a ton of shelled 
corn. The yield in weight will average five to sev*-n tons per 
acre. The roots will penetrate to a depth of 15 to 20 feet and it 
will get plant food wh< re other crops would be a failure. 
When once established. Alfalfa is the most valuable perma¬ 
nent clover crop that can be grown, also has the highest feeding 
value of any hay. 
When considering the planting of Alfalfa, it is wise to remem¬ 
ber that it is one of the best soil builders. Should you want to- 
plant Alfalfa land in some oiher crop and destroy the plants, the- 
large roots decay and produce a wonderful source of fertility 
for the growing of new crops.

falfa. Grows in cool weather
