PIONEER BRAND SEED CORN 
SEED CORN IS OUR SPECIALTY 
Oui’ stock is all grown from seed of our own selection. We hand sort all Seed Corn and both before 
and after shelling and testing store it in warn, dry buildings. No better grade of Seed Corn can be pro¬ 
duced anywhere. Remember, that we have bred and Introduced practically all of the best varieties of 
Corn for the Northwest. You will find them in the following pages. 
Every lot of Corn is tested by us after being shelled and before shipment. In a favorable year we aim 
to keep our test above 90 per cent; in a year when seed is scarce, above 80 per cent. Mistakes will occur 
in the warehouse sometimes. Always notify us at once of any mistake or cause for dissatisfaction and 
wait to hear from us before disposing of the goods. We are always glad to make things right. 
Prices of Seed Corn include sacks, are f. o. b. here and subject to prior sale and change without notice 
TEST ALL SEED CORN WHEREVER OBTAINED 
We come to you this year after the great drouth with the shortest crop of seed corn that we 
have ever seen in 53 years that we have served the Northwest and with prices of necessity the 
highest that they have been in many years. We regret this very much foi' the drouth was an¬ 
other demonstration of the value of corn in our territory and especially of the value of the accli¬ 
mated, drouth resistant native strains. Corn fodder was practically the only feed that anyone 
over most of the dried out area was able to raise. 
One of the more famous weather prophets of the Northwest tells us that next year will give 
us the biggest grain crops in many years, but will be cold and wet and poor for cojrn. We do 
not vouch for the prophecy, but by the law of chance such an event is due. Dakota White flint 
or one of the other early flints is the best insurance for corn in a cool season and the flints pro¬ 
duce heavily in cool, wet years, too. 
One bushel of corn will plant 8 acres—one bushel of wheat will plant 1 acre. Even at the 
highest prices, seed corn costs no more and often much less than any other seed per acre. 
WILL’S DAKOTA WHITE FLINT 
A feature in the 
seed department this 
year (of the Interna¬ 
tional Live Stock 
Show) was a Crops 
Hall of Fame, dis¬ 
playing' four varieties 
of field crops of un¬ 
usual merit. Three 
were introduced by 
experiment stations, 
only one commercial 
firm being- repre¬ 
sented. This was Os¬ 
car H. Will & Co., 
Bismarck, N. D., the 
crop being Dakota 
variety of flint corn.

Early Flints 
Dakota White Flint 
Dakota White Flint, the first Corn developed by Oscar H. Will in the early eighties, has stood the test of years and is a 
standard for earliness and hardiness. It is a pure, pearly white flint with long, slender ears which shell out the maximum 
amount of grain. A great many ears are borne to the hill, which accounts for the exceptional yields there being many 
reports of fifty and sixty bushels to the acre for small fields and forty to fifty bushels per acre in fields of forty, titty or 
more acres. . , . .. 
Dakota White Flint Corn matures with an unusually small moisture requirement and is the most frost.resistant and hail 
resistant of any known variety. Stalks are leafy and bushy in appearance, ears grow low on the stalk which attains a height 
of from four to six feet in a fair to good year, being somewhat shorter in dry seasons. A wonderful variety tor feeding in the 
fields as there are no coarse stalks, and every bit of stalks as well as grain is consumed with gusto by stock. 
Do not confuse Dakota with other white flints. The Dakota is a grain producer with a small cob. Other ftmts wilh tre¬ 
mendous cobs which shell out a very low percentage are sometimes offered as Dakota. Lb., 40c, postpaid, r. u. is. tsis-
