SEED CORN 
Shelled Corn, 56 lbs. a bushel. Ear 
Corn, shuck off, 65 lbs. Ear Corn, 
shuck on, 70 lbs. 
There is positively no comparison 
between our Seed Corn and the aver¬ 
age corn. Our Seed Corn is hand 
picked, nubbed, tipped, butted, graded 
and tested for germination. 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE. (The Old Reliable White Corn.) 
In general appearance this corn is pure white, large ears ana 
deep, medium rough kernels. It is particularly adapted for 
milling purposes, making a fine white meal. 
ST. CHARLES WHITE. The famous Ensilage Corn of the 
South. We have improved this type and have perfect success 
with it in this climate. Matures in 110 to 115 days. Pure 
white corn, red cob, medium small; grain extra deep, ear trans¬ 
parent white. 
IOWA SILVER MINE. Ninety-day com. It has not a large 
growth of fodder, having been bred essentially for grain, though 
it has plenty of blades to support the growth, and is as well- 
rooted as any corn grown. 
JOHNSON COUNTY WHITE DENT. Tips fill well over the 
end and a large per cent of the ears are entirely covered with 
grains; the butts are well-rounded out, with a medium sized 
shank; kernels very uniform, wedge-shaped; pure white cob. 
HICKORY KING. This is an entirely distinct variety among 
the white com, combining the largest grain with the smallest 
cob. It is a great yielder, giving more shelled com to the acre 
bulk of ears than any other variety. The grain makes most 
excellent hominy. 
NEAL’S PAYMASTER. 100-day corn. Is well suited for both 
lowland and upland. Produces a medium stalk with two good 
ears, broad white grains on a red cob, fills out well. 
IMPROVED LEAMING. Ninety-day com. Improved Learning 
is medium early. The ears are large with very deep bright 
yellow kernels. The cob is small. The stalks grow to a 
medium height and often produce two large ears and make 
first-class fodder.

FERTILIZERS 
YOU WILL BE SATISFIED, TOO! 
Use some of that improved Red Steer Fertilizer yourself 
this year and be one of the thousands who are getting the 
most from their crops. Swift’s Red Steer Fertilizer is now 
BOTH Non-Acid Forming and Physiologically Neutral. Your 
neighbor has probably told you what this means in terms 
of better corn, wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, tomatoes, and 
other truck and field 
crops. 
Cash in on the ben¬ 
efits this modern de¬ 
velopment of science 
can give you. It costs 
no more than ordin¬ 
ary fertilizer. 
We recommend it 
and have on hand 
the proper analysis 
for your farm. Prices 
on request. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT. Thoroughbred, pedigreed, carefully 
selected stock. It is of handsome shape and color and largely

and leaves and consequently none is wasted.

big stalks and ear. 
TREAT SEED CORN with NEW IMPROVED 
SEMESAN JR.—Treatment of heavily dis¬
