Tested SEED CORN 
Be sure of the quality of your seed corn. Whether you plant Hy¬ 
brid or Open Pollinated, it pays to get the best. 
HYBRID SEED CORN 
The National Cornhusking Contest was held here at Lawrence 
this past fall and brought over a hundred thousand people to 
witness what is generally looked upon as a very ordinary farm 
job transferred into an athletic event of national interest. 
If you have never seen a crowd of 100,000 people you have no 
idea of what such a crowd looks like. And automobiles! It seemed 
that they were parked all over this end of the county. 
Naturally, most of the farmer visitors were interested in corn, and 
especially Hybrid Corn. 
There is no question but that Hybrid Corn is taking hold. The 
past two seasons have proved that it’s got what it takes. It does 
stand hot and dry weather, and under adverse conditions it greatly 
outyields the open pollinated corn. It has a sturdier root system, 
is more uniform in growth and in maturity. 
BUT—get Hybrid Corn that is adapted to your conditions. 
Ask your dealer or write us direct for samples and prices of 
Hybrid Corn suited to your locality. 
Open POLLINATED 
SEED CORN 
Our seed is selected in the ear, then tipped, butted, 
shelled and cleaned. Above all, it is tested for germina¬ 
tion and we put the germination on the bag. 
GRADED CORN. This takes out nearly all of the uneven 
kernels. The cost of this is 25c per bushel extra. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
KAW CHIEF. The corn is of a deep, golden yellow color, 
ears large, measuring up to 13 and 14 inches in length 
and have 16, 18 and 20 rows to the cob. A bushel of Kaw 
Chief Corn on the ear will yield 58 to 60 pounds of 
shelled corn. Kaw Chief Corn matures in from 95 to 105 
days, and ordinarily yields from 75 to 80 bushels per acre. 
EEID’S YELLOW DENT. 100 Days. Ears medium size, 
remarkably uniform, a bright yellow color with a deep 
grain and small red cob. 
PRIDE OF THE NORTH. 90 Days. This variety has 
smaller ears than the late kinds, but is valuable, as it 
matures early. Planted as late as July 4, it has fully 
matured by October 2. A light orange color. 
niPROVED TEAMING. 90 Days. This is one of the 
earliest yellow dent corns in cultivation, ripening in 90 to 
100 days from planting. Orange yellow color and red cob.

riety grows very dwarf, resisting drought. It is early.

about like Silver Mine and Reid’s. The ears are of me¬ 
dium size, the corn is pearly white, medium short, quite

at Manhattan it outyielded every other variety for three
