WESTERN PLOWMAN 
The Great Yellow Com of the Com Belt 
Many seem to think that Western Plowman at one time was grown on a larger acreage in 
the northern one-third of Illinois titan any other type of Yellow Corn. It was alway s consid¬ 
ered a dependable Corn. Did not seem to be affected by abnormal seasons like some other va¬ 
rieties. Under normal conditions it matures in around 105 to 110 days. Is similar to Krugs 
Dent. Produces a nice size ear. Has always been a good yielder. It’s a good safe corn to glow 
in territory for which it is adapted. 
Good Supplies on Hand 
We take care of early orders on practically all types 
of corn. Orders for seed corn started coming in early. 
There is going to be a big demand this season. Don’t

■m, 
This is a large white type of corn that has real merit. Has 
been very popular in Iowa and Illinois for many 7 years. This 
large type of white corn is greatly in demand these days for 
many commercial purposes. So many farmers have been 
growing Yellow Hybrid Corn the past few years, the acreage 
of white corn has been neglected. White corn has been 
bringing a premium on the market the past year. 
Description 
Has large deep pearly white kernels. Pure white cob. A 
vigorous grower. Matures in about 115 to 125 days. We 
recommend this corn for central Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and 
territory farther south or in any section where a corn of this 
maturity can be grown. It’s a heavy yielding corn. Our 
stock is well graded and ready to plant. 
Disinfectants 
The farmer of today knows that corn is affected by cer¬ 
tain diseases such as seedling blight, and rots of stalk and 
root. These diseases can be controlled by dusting the seed 
with scientific chemical compounds such as Merko. Such 
treatments also strengthen germination and permit earlier 
planting. The acre cost is low. A pound treats 6 bushels 
of seed. It pays to use it. Price of Merko: 4 oz. can 35c ; 
I lb. 80c; 5 lbs. $3.25. Postpaid or express prepaid.

finest seed on the market.

Krug’s Dent has made a name for itself in the corn 
belt. Wherever grown it has proven an extraordinary 
producer. It ranks right along with Reid’s Dent and is a 
little earlier in maturing. This was developed by cross¬ 
ing Reid’s Dent (smooth type) with the Gold Mine. We 
have records of a test of dozens of varieties that was 
conducted over a four-year period. Krugs proved the 
best yielder of all. 
Rich Color—Solid Ears 
The ears are a little smaller than later varieties 
but they are very solid and are produced in great abun¬ 
dance. The deep yellow color speaks for its superior feed¬ 
ing value. Krug’s Dent gives you earliness plus heavy 
yields. This variety meets the needs of many corn belt 
farmers better than any other we know of. 
Improved Seed Stock 
We have a supply of very fine seed that we consider 
superior to most Krugs seed available. It has been care¬ 
fully graded, shows a strong germination test and is surely 
great planting stock. Let us supply you with some of 
this tested seed. Prepare yourself for bigger yields per 
acre. Such seed is worth more than our low price. This 
acre cost is reasonable. See page 32 for quotations.
