SEED CORN 
There are all sorts of corn . . . and almost as many kinds of so- 
called Seed Corn. What a difference in many of them, when you 
really learn the facts! Please read the narrow column to your left. 
“LANCASTER COUNTY SURE CROP” 
There isn’t another single item in this catalog that has brought in 
so many good reports from its users as has this corn. . . . The re¬ 
ports on these pages are but a few of the hundreds that customers 
have sent in to us. 
"Lancaster County Sure Crop.” One of the biggest money¬ 
makers that there is. That’s why it is called "Sure Crop.” Suc¬ 
cessful farmers have used this corn year after year because it pro¬ 
duces good large ears of hard corn. It is a big producer. You 
get lots of ears. It fills the crib and there are very few nubbins. 
If you have a silo that needs filling, be sure to order "Lancaster 
County Sure Crop” and you won’t be disappointed. 
“SURE CROP” FILLS THE SILO 
More and more folks believe that it pays to put a considerable 
quantity of corn as well as stalks, into the silo—and that preferably 
corn grains should be well glazed before cutting. "Lancaster County 
Sure Crop” is the ideal corn for this sort of a program and will fill 
your silo quickly and easily. 
WILL YOU PLEASE READ THIS? 
Here’s the right way to value seed corn. . . . Look at the crop you’ll 
get, rather than the price per bushel of the seed. 
Suppose 1 bushel of true Seed Corn makes you 480 bushels of 
corn—and another bushel of other corn makes 400 bushels (figur¬ 
ing yields of 60 and 50 bushels per acre).... Why, at that rate 
(and count 70 cents a bushel), that first bushel of seed is worth $56 
more to you! 
The cost of seed corn is only about 1 /40 of the cost of growing 
an acre of corn anyway. 
Hoffman’s Quality Seed Corn can only mean at most an extra in¬ 
vestment to you, of around 25 cents and 30 cents an acre! 
It’s just a shame, if any man will spend a whole season’s work, 
and then lose, or not get, the extra 5 or 10 bushels of corn per acre 
he should have gotten—because inferior seed had been planted!
