Staffel's Drought Resister 
For many years we have seen the need of 
a Native White Drought-Resisting variety. We 
are glad to announce to our customers that 
we now have a Pedigreed Drought-Resisting 
White Seed Corn. The easiest and cheapest 
way to increase your yield per acre is to 
plant better seed. STAFFEL'S DROUGHT-RE¬ 
SISTER is a New Name but is not a New 
Strain of Corn. It is an early maturing, drought- 
resisting, Native White Corn that has been 
bred for many years to meet Texas condi.ions. 
Some farmers try to get early maturity by 
using northern grown seed, but this practice 
almost always results in disappointment, as 
northern varieties are not adapted to south¬ 
ern conditions. Lb., 20c; pk„ 75c, postpaid.
