HYBRID SEED CORN 
Good Crop Insurance, Dependable Heavy Yields 
One of our crossing blocks of U. S. 52. This field yielded around 90 bushel per 
acre of excellent corn. 
Hybrids described within this booklet are those that have been thoroughly and definitely tried, not one 
year but several. The results have been so much better than the best open pollinated varieties of corn, that 
we do not hesitate to recommend them to you. These Hybrids are recognized by the Agricultural Extension 
Service and Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station as being superior 
in performance in the field and as well as yield per acre. Our entire 
acreage was inspected by The Ohio Seed Improvement Association 
cooperating with the above organizations and you are assured of the 
proper Hybrid for your farm. You should use only Certified Hybrids 
which are adapted to your section. See page 37. 
lOVIAA ^ general favorite maturing with Wood- 
burn which places it in the medium early class. 
Has been a consistent heavy yielder, last season going over the 100- 
bu. mark in several of the test plots. The stalk is medium size, very 
stiff and erect. The ears placed medium height making it desirable 
either to cut or use with binder. Last year we had more requests for 
this Hybrid than all others combined. See table on page 37 and note 
its wide range of adaptability. Price on page 36. 
Hybrid Seed Corn is being offered to the public from many sources. 
Much of it was produced within the state and a high percentage in 
other states. Some was cared for properly. Other lots are questionable. 
Some may be adapted to your locality and soil conditions, others may 
not and it is much better for you to plant your own open pollenated 
seed than an unadapted Hybrid. 
We have tried to work very close and follow as nearly as we could 
the recommendations of our Extension Departments in placing the 
proper Hybrids in their proper place. The area map on page 37 will 
help you a great deal in seiecting the Hybrid you should use. 
We are making a conscientious effort to produce and offer our 
customers in Ohio and surrounding states the best in corn Hybrids, 
dried properly to insure strongest germination and graded evenly to 
make planting easier. 
Better Hybrids will be intrdouced from time to time and as their 
value is proven we will add them to our list and give you the ad¬ 
vantage of them. 
W 17—Note Leafiness, Sturdy Stalk 
and Ear Position. 
OHIO W 17 
An early Hybrid with very leafy type stalk. 
Should be especially desirable to those 
wanting to fill silo early. Stalk is erect and sturdy which makes 
it very resistant to storms and high winds. Tests have shown it high 
in yielding ability, in fact, it is one of the best and we recommend 
it as an exceptional Hybrid and worthy of your consideration. It 
will prove its worth. Ear is large and placed medium height with 
short shank. It is especially desired for using with husker as grain 
does not readily shell. Price on page 36. 
Our Hybrid Seed Corn will all be treated with Mercury dust. This 
is just another service we give you free.

I would like to place an order for three bushel of Iowa 939 
Hybrid Seed Corn. The three bushel I received from you for 
this year’s crop gave very fine results. I believe the crop is 
the largest ever raised on this farm although the year was 
not the best. The stand was nearly perfect and the held rip¬ 
ened very even. I would like to have a confirmation on this 
order so as to be assured of seed next year. Thanking you 
for your service, I remain. Graham Kirkpatrick, Utica, Ohio.

I bought 1 bushel of Hybrid Seed 
Corn of you last Spring. Must say it is 
the best field of corn I ever raised, 
Iowa 939. Please send me prices as I 
want to order my seed right away for 
next Spring. Eight of my neighbors have 
looked at this corn. All will plant Hy¬ 
brid seed next Spring. C. D. Focht, Ken¬ 
ton, Ohio.
