Hoffman’s 
Plant Only a Proven Hybrid SOILTEX AND SOWERS 
“Your Hybrid Corn gave 
good results. We husked a 
big load from 7 short rows, 
while the Yellow Dent in 
the same field gave a load 
from 10 rows. The stalks 
stood up well, and there 
were few nubbins.”— H. S. 
Weber, T^oncaster County, 
Pa. 
“This year (1938) I har¬ 
vested 494 bushels of Shade- 
land Victory Oats from 7M 
acres. I always have success 
with Hoffman’s Seeds — I 
find them reliable and just 
as represented by your firm.” 
—Lloyd L. Hormell, Fred- 
ericktown, Pa. 
"SOILTEX" 
For Testing Soils 
Use enough lime. Most crops benefit by 
it. Lime corrects acidity, sets free plant 
food, improves texture of the soil. 
SOILTEX is quick, easy, accurate. Tells 
in a few minutes if soil is acid, and how 
much lime it needs. Each outfit, $1.00 (post¬ 
paid), makes 75 to 100 tests. Full direc¬ 
tions and lime table included. Costs about 
1 cent per test. 
“My field sown to your 
Northwest Alfalfa in 1937 
has been very much admired 
and commented upon by 
friends and neighbors. I got 
three good cuttings this year. 
I applied not less than two 
tons of our own burnt lime 
and 300 pounds phosphate 
per acre.”— Anthony Jewett, 
Export, Pa. 
A VERY GOOD SEED SOWER 
THE "CAHOON" 
Sows all kinds of grain and grass seed— 
faster, more evenly and with less waste. 
Also good for distributing FERTILIZER. 
Will sow four to eight acres an hour, de¬ 
pending upon the operator—condition of the 
land, and weight of seed. Holds about 
twenty-two quarts. 
Can be used on rough or steep land. Or 
early in the season when the land is too soft 
for team or tractor. Is almost indispensable 
on the farm. 
If, owing to a side wind, seed should 
fall more to one side than the other, this 
seeder can be adjusted to sow evenly. 
Complete and easily understood instruc¬ 
tions accompany each machine. Price, $4.50 
each (postage paid).
