Field's Mule-Hybrid 
Must Satisfy or Money Back 
I absolutely guarantee to please you. 
If the shipment of Mule-Hybrid corn 
doesn’t please you in every way, fire it 
back. I’ll pay the freight and send you 
corn that will please or refund your 
money. This corn is good, will please you 
and that’s why I can write a guarantee 
like that. 
Field Pays Freight to 
7 States for 25c per Bu. 
Don’t let anyone tell you freight on 
Corn is expensive. It isn’t. Just to prove, 
it, for 25c per bushel on my Mule-Hybrid 
corn, I’ll pay the freight anywhere in 
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Minne¬ 
sota, Nebraska, and South Dakota. And 
for 50c per bushel, I’ll pay the freight 
into any other state. Just add that 
amount per bu. to your order and say, 
send freight paid. 
Guaranteed Stand! 
For only $1 per bu. extra, I’ll Guaran¬ 
tee Your Stand of Corn and Pay the 
Freight to Your Town. Even with this 
stand insurance added, your corn costs 
little more than open pollinated corn and 
way less than other hybrids. Most folks 
take advantage of this offer, but you can 
do just as you like. 
Field's "Weather-Proofed 
Blend"—New Way to Plant 
Hybrid Corn 
• Throws Pollen Over Long Period 
• Pollinates Despite Hot Winds. 
• Insures Better Corn Crops 
Field’s are first again—this time with 
the blend of high-yielding hybrids that 
will revolutionize hybrid corn planting. 
Farmers are buying it hand over fist since 
it was introduced last month. 
This blend is scientifically made to throw 
pollen over a LONG period, thereby pollin- 
izing silks even if there is a long period of 
hot weather which ordinarily would kill 
all pollen and hence all chances of a corn 
crop. It insures a good corn crop despite 
the weather. 
Illinois State College tests show that it 
makes EXTRA-YIELDS of 8 to 10 bushels 
per acre and more in extreme summers. 
I introduced this blend last month in 
“Seed Sense” and have been swamped with 
orders. It’s plain commonsense and farm¬ 
ers recognize it as such at once. 
I have two blends— Weather Proof Blend 
A for the south half of Iowa, southeast 
Nebraska, Missouri and central Illinois. 
Weather Proof Blend A1 —For north half 
of Iowa, northeast Nebraska; southeast 
South Dakota, southern Minnesota and 
Kansas. I can furnish both in either edge 
drop or hill drop grades. See price list for 
prices. Limited supply this year. Please 
order soon.—H. F. 
Field's MULE-HYBRID 
Performance Score of 114.59 
Highest in Twelve Districts 
By a safe margin, Henry Field’s Mule- 
Hybrid corn, took first place in perform¬ 
ance over all hybrids in district 10 of last 
year’s Iowa State official corn yield con¬ 
test. Field’s Mule Hybrid had the high¬ 
est rating—114.59—of all hybrids en¬ 
tered in 11 official districts. 
This state yield contest was judged by 
disinterested state officials and its find¬ 
ings MEAN SOMETHING. Mule-Hybrid, 
was graded on yield, stand, percent of 
moisture, lodging, ear height, dropped 
ears and damaged seed and despite com¬ 
petition of hybrids from everywhere 
CAME OUT FIRST. 
The results of this test are available to 
anyone free if you write direct to Iowa 
State Agricultural Experiment Station, 
Ames, Iowa, and ask for 1939 Corn Yield 
Bulletin P2, New Series. 
You don’t have to pay $7.50 for the 
best hybrid — BUY DIRECT FROM 
FIELD’S and SAVE $3 per bu. 
Agents get from $1 to $3 per 
bu. for selling you corn. There’s 
no need of you having to pay 
that. 
I’ve knocked this commission 
off the price of my famous 
MULE - HYBRID so that you 
save this agent’s commission for 
yourself by BUYING DIRECT.

YOU MAY CHOOSE THE ROUND OR FLAT GRADING 
r 
Both Are Perfect and Uniform 
ROUND GRADING SAVES YOU MOST! 
MEDIUM ROUND KERNEL 
HILL DROP GRADE 
(Perfectly Uniform) 
Most farmers plant flat kernel corn 
and don’t know the advantages of hill 
drop corn. That’s the only reason it’s 
cheaper. 
These small round kernels make the 
same or better corn than the flat ker¬ 
nels, the only difference being they 
weren’t squeezed in as small a space 
on the ear. 
Being small and round, they plant 
more acres per bushel. And as they 
have more food in the kernel, they 
nourish the young corn plants better 
than small flat kernels, thereby giving 
you a stronger stand. It stands cold 
weather better, too. 
Plates to plant hill drop as uni¬ 
formly as edge drop are readily avail¬ 
able at any dealers. Cost about 60c 
each. As you save up to 75c per bushel 
you can easily afford to buy these 
plates and earn savings each year 
with hill drop grade.

FLAT KERNEL 
EDGE DROP GRADE 
(Perfectly Uniform) 
This is the grade everybody 
knows. Most farmers plant it as 
only a few realize the savings of Hill 
Drop and have switched to it. 
It is perfectly graded, flat, and is 
so uniform it will run smoothly 
through your planter with no trou¬ 
ble at all. 
Our equipment is the most mod¬ 
ern, up-to-date there is. We have 
made this investment in order to 
give you the most perfectly graded 
corn on the market.
