MICHELL’S SELECTED HAND PICKED FIELD CORN 81 
Plant 8 to 10 qts. per acre in hills for shelled 
corn or for silo, or sow 1J4 to 2 bushels 
broadcast for fodder. 
Our strains of corn are not the common 
kinds usually found in abundance on the 
market; we give very careful attention to 
selected stock, in all lines of farm seeds. This 
is particularly true of field corn where re-selec¬ 
tion means the limit of crop with little or no 
increase in cost. Our stock is selected for size of 
ear and fodder, uniformity of kernel and the 
careful finish of the tip and butt, all of which 
means a considerable increase in production. 
Field Corn weighs 56 lbs. per bushel.
