DISCO PEDIGREED SEED CORN 
^_■■'V_-_, 
WARNING Many of you are no doubt aware that high germinating seed corn is going to be 
difficult to obtain this spring. There are two reasons for this situation. First, 
last spring corn planting was delayed beyond the usual time because of excessive rains and un¬ 
favorable weather. Then again In the fall, the end of the season was shortened by the cold 
weather in October which resulted in corn being frozen before it was fully matured. Since the 
corn had a high moisture content due to its not being fully matured, the germ was very easily 
killed. 
At the time of writing this catalog we have rejected 90 per cent of the lots of corn we have 
examined because they showed too low a germination to make satisfactory seed. At the same 
time, we have had inquiries from two adjoining states, and from a far distant state for carload 
lots of seed corn. These inquiries would Indicate that this scarcity of dependable seed corn is 
not peculiar to South Dakota alone. 
May we suggest that you order your seed corn early so that you may be assured getting a 
supply—a supply which has been carefully tested and shows a high germination. 
Demand these features In the Seed Corn you buy: That It be grown under 
rigorous climatic conditions—dried as nature Intended—carefully stored 
—Guaranteed germination—15 days allowed to test your package and money- 
back guarantee. That's what you get In Disco Pedigreed Seed Corn—and, 
remember, there Is no substitute for quality.
