Jacques’ Proven Hybrid Corn 
The Reasons for Their Phenomenal Increase 
INCREASED YIELD OF 15% to 25%—Experiment sta¬ 
tion tests show actual yield increase of 15% to 25% 
over the best commercial varieties. 
DROUGHT AND WIND RESISTANCE—From 54 to 54 
deeper and more vigorous root systems are found in all 
of our HYBRIDS. 
INCREASED STALK STRENGTH—This, combined with 
the deeper root growth, results in a corn which does 
not lodge and will not blow down. 
DISEASE RESISTANCE—Resistance to smut, rust, and 
wilt in our HYBRIDS eliminates weak, diseased stalks 
and diseased, unsound ears. 
GREATER UNIFORMITY—Practical elimination of bar¬ 
ren stalks and nubbins. Uniform maturity.

WHY YOU CAN’T SAVE SEED FROM 
HYBRID CORN 
Gentlemen:—I planted 90-day Hybrid Corn last year 
which I ordered from you. I am more than satisfied with 
the results. The Corn is very oily and a bright orange 
color. 
JOHN MARTIN. 
Church Dalzell of Buffalo, Wyo., who planted 85-day 
Hybrid writes as follows: What little corn made I like the 
Hybrid very well; this was one of the dry summers. My 
late Falconer made some corn; it was two weeks later 
than the Hybrid and it was really too dry to tell much 
about the corn this year, but what it did I like very much; 
big ears well up on the stalk and good kernels. I think 
it is a wonderful corn for this section of Wyoming. 
Both practical experience and experimental results show 
that seed saved from a field of hybrid corn will produce 
a crop noticeably inferior to the hybrid from which the 
seed was picked. Such a crop is likely to be less satis¬ 
factory than that produced from a good open pollenated 
variety. This simply means that the “hybrid condition” 
obtained by combining inbreds is not self-perpetuating; 
that a hybrid can not be continued under open pollinated 
conditions. 
Seed is not saved from a field of hybrid corn for the 
same reason that “half-breed” pigs produced by crossing 
two different breeds of hogs are not allowed to breed with 
Tres Piedras, N. M. 
Dear Sirs:—I like this corn fine. As I am in high, dry 
altitude and corn is grown mostly for fodder; the Hybrid 
Corn is leafier, also seems to stand drought better and 
makes extra good feed. 
S. C. HAWKINS. 
J. P. Branch of Edgewater, Colo., using a 95-day Hybrid 
planted May 15, getting a perfect stand, which dented 
about July 25. The stalks were green and leafy when the 
corn was ripe, with a much deeper root system. The 
average height of stalks, 7 feet, and placement of ears 
about 3% feet from ground line. Yielded approximately 
one-third more than his open pollinated corn. 
each other. It is common knowledge that if cross-bred 
hogs are mated to each other that the stock will “break 
up” in the next generation. Since the plants in a field of 
hybrid corn are bred to each other because they are pol¬ 
linated among themselves, the seed saved from these plants 
will “break up” in the following generation. Such seed 
will produce a crop with many spindly plants, numerous 
nubbins and an unsatisfactory yield. 
Many of those who grow hybrid corn will want to know 
what will happen if they plant seed that was taken from 
a field of hybrid corn. There is no objection to finding out, 
but it is urged that only a few rows of such corn be planted 
as a few rows will tell the story.—(Reprint from Circular
