Michell’s Seed Corn produces extra bushels per acre 
MICHELL’S SELECTED HAND-PICKED FIELD CORN 
Plant 8 to 10 quarts per acre in hills for shelled Corn or for silo, or sow 1 y 2 to 2 bushels broadcast for fodder 
Field Corn 
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-selection 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 pounds per bushel.

Beans with one bushel cowpeas, in drills
