For 53 years Oscar H. Will & Co. have 
been growing, breeding and selling seed corn lor Northwestern conditions. We have kept up with 
every new development in corn growing and started the production of hybrid 
seed com long before the present recognition of the value of hybrid seed. As 
a result we are again the only Arm ready to oiler hybrid seed of hardy, ac¬ 
climated varieties. You will note on this page pictures taken in our corn plots, 
of corn breeding details. We have in process of development a number of 
other inbreds of native varieties for the production of Hybrid Seed. 
And our regular seed com too is showing higher quality and purity every 
year. It is all grown for us or by us from hand picked and carefully selected 
seed ears. The seed so selected is treated against such corn diseases as can be 
controlled and grown under our supervision. 
We have bred and developed all of the outstanding 
com varieties for the Northwest and we continue the 
same work every year. Therefore Oscar H. Will & Co. 
Seed Com represents a standard—its equal can be ob¬ 
tained from no other seed house.

This is corn produced from tested crosses either of Inbreds 
of a single variety or of selected stocks of two greatly dif¬ 
ferent varieties. Hybrid vigor has long been recognized as 
a result of crossing in cattle and has of late years been 
demonstrated to be a result also of crossing breeds of hogs, 
poultry and com. Hybrid com usually is more vigorous, 
more disease resistant and much more productive than the 
common or open pollinated varieties. To produce a hybrid 
of any variety pure inbreds are first isolated by self pollinat-

ing for 3 to 5 years. Those giving best results to the num¬ 
ber of 3 to 4 strains are grown to use in producing the de¬ 
sired hybrid and to carry on the pure strain from year to 
year. Hybrid seed corn must be the product of a fresh 
crossing each year to be of any value. 
Sometimes it is found that two re^lar open pollinated 
varieties which differ widely in type from each other win 
also show great hybrid vigor and improvement in produc¬ 
tion. Such hybrids are called top crosses, 
bags of 1 bu. size or less.
