State Certification 
A Hybrid to be certified must show a combined 
superiority of 25% in yield and lodging resistance 
of stalk over the average open pollinated corn in 
state yield contests for at least 2 to 5 years pre¬ 
ceding certification. When you buy State Certified 
Hybrid, you are sure of getting the genuine State 
Originated Hybrid Corn. We sell State Certified 
Hybrids because they are safe, sure and depend¬ 
able. The original seed stock is “Approved.” It 
is produced under state supervision. If there is 
anything wrong with the seed stock, isolation, de- 
tasseling, moisture content or germination, it can’t 
be certified. It must also germinate 90% strong 
or better. 
Buy Blue Tag Certified Hybrids 
That Blue Certification Tag on the bag proves 
it is grown according to state specifications. It 
has not been rushed into production for private 
profit. Buy Blue Tag Certified Hybrids, because 
they have a record of proven per¬ 
formance. It is seed of 
high strong 
germination.
