On this trial plot, on Hoff¬ 
man Homestead Farm near 
Landisville, 25 distinct hybrid 
corns were tried out this 
past Summer, along with five 
standard local varieties. These 
hybrids were gathered from 
all the best sources. Some in¬ 
teresting things were learned. 
This effort continues. Future 
years will bring to Hoffman 
patrons definite answers on 
hybrid corns that will surely 
interest them. 
BETTER SILAGE 
Have only clean seed of high germination to start with. 
Offer it good cultivation, keep weeds down. 
F ertilize your corn with manure and complete fertilizer. 
F ertilize heavy enough to insure a good crop. 
IVI ore corn per acre makes more profit for you. 
Acres of good corn are cheaper than acres of poor corn. 
N ot all seed corn will give good results. 
Sow Hoffman’s Seed Corn for best results. 
Eight cultivations are better than two. 
Early seeding is important and profitable. 
Do not plant too close, mature ears make better silage.
