GURNEY’S GENUINE HYBRID SEED CORN 
GOOD HYBRID SEED CORN 
IOWA HYBRID 
suitable for your locality. Will outyield the best open pollinated corn 
from 15% to 50%, depending on the season. 
ALL HYBRIDS ARE NOT GOOD 
in the 1935 and 1936 Iowa tests, conducted by the Iowa 
Agricultural College, the good common corn yielded de¬ 
cidedly more than the poor Hybrid strains. 
IS A GOOD 
HYBRID 
THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR 
we have listed Hybrid seed corn. We wanted to 
be sure it was better than open pollinated corn. 
We also thought the price was too high. 
MflMf After several years of careful tests 
by ourselves and by the Agricul¬ 
tural Departments of many states, we are 
satisfied that good Hybrid corn suitable 
for your locality, is vastly superior'to 
good open pollinated corn. 
Hybrid corn shows its great¬ 
est superiority in a dry, un¬ 
favorable year. 
AT LAST 
we are able to offer 
good Hybrid corn 
at a fair price. 
suitable for the north one-third 
of Iowa, northeastern Nebraska, 
and southeastern South Dakota. 
Iowa 931 has been tested for seven 
years in the Iowa corn trials, and has 
been well to the top of the Hybrid list 
every year,'averaging 17% more than the 
open pollinated corn in the same tests. 
In 1935, Iowa No. 931 yielded 81 bushels per 
acre. In 1936, in spite of the dry weather, it 
yielded 45% bushels per acre. 
Iowa Hybrid 931 is a large, bright yellow corn 
which shells out very well. The stalks grow about 8 
or 9 feet tall and are very sturdy, standing up through 
wind storms when other corn is blown flat. 
I believe every farmer should plant at least one or two 
bushels of Hybrid corn for trial. If it is better, you want to 
know it and take advantage of it. 
Hybrid seed corn costs much more than common seed corn to 
produce, and will always be fairly expensive. We are offering it as 
low as good Hybrid seed corn can be produced. 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., 
$1.00; 14 lbs., $2.20; 28 lbs., $4.00; 1 bu., $7.75; 2 bushels or more 
at $7.50 per bushel. 
Write for Prices We have limited amounts of other varieties of 
Hybrid seed corn suitable for planting in your 
locality. Write for prices and description. 
NUMBER 931 
GURNEY’S 
AUGUST 15th 
The Earliest Dent Corn Grown 
This corn is of our own origina¬ 
tion and is nearly identical with 
Minnesota No. 23. Produces a 
medium sized ear of light yellow 
corn with a white cap. It is extra 
early. The ears of August 15th 
are almost perfect in shape and it 
is a very desirable corn for early 
feeding for August, and especially 
valuable for the main crop variety 
for the extreme north. It has 
saved the pocketbook of the south¬ 
ern farmer by furnishing him feed 
long before any other varieties. 
Plant it for hogging off. Your hogs 
will enjoy a scrap with a good field 
of Aug. 15th. Plant it by mid-May 
and you can husk it on the 15th of 
August. 
1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., $1.00; 28 lbs., 
$1.60; 1 bu., $2.90; 2 bushels 
or more at $2.75 per bushel. 
Gurney's August 15th 
and DeWolf’s Prolific 
are both open pollinated 
DEWOLF’S 
EXTRA PROLIFIC 
This is another production of 
the late M. J. DeWolf. This corn 
matures well to the central part of 
South Dakota and can be grown in 
the same district as improved 
Minnesota No. 13, but wiil out¬ 
yield it. This bright, yellow corn 
will outyield any other early corn 
and should be planted in the 
central half of South Dakota and 
southern Minnesota. We believe 
that if you will try this corn one 
year you will discard the corn you 
are now growing and plant De- 
Wolf's Prolific exclusively. 
1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs. 90c; 28 lbs., 
$1.50; 1 bu., $2.65; 2 bushels or 
more at $2.50 per bushel.

Gentlemen: 
We ordered 10 bushels Yel¬ 
low Dent seed corn from you. 
After we had it, people started 
telling us South Dakota corn 
would not produce a crop here. 
I want to tell you we had a 
fine crop of corn—a lot better 
than most of our neighbors 
who had Iowa seed. 
Respectfully, 
Peter Lahr,
