Wklck iUl YOURS ^ allY good HARVEST- another crop? 
—What Does New Hoffman Seed Cost ?— 
Suppose you plant 18 acres to Hoffman “Leap’s Prolific” wheat. 
That will take 27 bushels of seed. (Not more — that’s enough of this 
extra-graded, extra-stooling seed.) See Price List — figure the cost. 
Your 18 acres would have taken about 40 bushels of your own 
wheat (before cleaned). . . . Sell that 40 bushels to your mill. The 
money it brings you will go a long way toward paying for the new 
seed. . . . You’ll soon find out that your total cost — freight paid, 
figures to only around 70c an acre! 
Next harvest you’ll have many more bushels of wheat to sell . . . 
it has been proven thousands of times these 41 years. . . . Each 70c 
now will doubtless bring $5, $8, or maybe $10 to you next harvest! 
This is no fairy-story . . . it’s a fact! Every year more and more 
people are experiencing it. They buy new Hoffman Seed for every 
wheat-acre they put out . . . because it pays them! 
You're the man to decide. For improvement in the wheat, 
barley, corn, or any other grain crop . . . certain basic points dare 
not be neglected. Of course the seed-bed shall be put into good 
shape. Proper fertilizer applied. But sowing the RIGHT SEED 
is VITAL! More and more folks realize the importance of sowing 
new Hoffman Seed every year. Even though they don’t change 
the variety. They get more bushels from the new Hoffman seed 
than from the wheat they grow themselves! The small extra cost 
for the new seed is overcome many times over in the increased crop. 
With the great war on . . . poor crop prospects in many lands . . . 
isn't it fair to think that America might get the call, even next 
year, to help feed other peoples? Nothing like being ready if the 
call comes. With more bushels, no farmer can lose! But he can 
gain! Come such a call or not! More bushels figure to more 
dollars — whatever the price per bushel! 
Start now — plan for the extra bushels — get a really good 
harvest next summer. . . . Let Hoffman’s Seed grains help you — 
they will! 
What Does CLEAN Mean? 
If you could be here, see these Hoffman cleaners at work! They 
would show you, better than words can tell — what we mean by 
this really clean Hoffman wheat and barley. You would be sur¬ 
prised! Not so much at the thousands of dollars worth of equip¬ 
ment. . . . But at the great amount of waste necessary! 
At exactly 12 different places you would see a waste of one 
kind or other. You would wonder why some of them had to be. 
Until a grower’s crop is through the whole process, ready for 
your seeding — Hoffman has absorbed all of this loss. And 
you get the gain from it. In the shape of the extra yield that such 
seed will make for you! Forty years’ use has proved it! 
What Is CERTIFIED SEED? 
Highly trained men of the State Department thoroughly inspect 
the growing fields. If the crop is satisfactory in every way, the 
state authorities permit the use of their special tag on every bag. 
This certifies its purity as to strain or variety. It must be free 
from the common stinking smut. It dare not be contaminated 
with weeds. It must show a good high degree of cleanness after 
cleaned, and must show satisfactory percentage of germination. 
This is the very highest degree of seed protection you can get! 
And Hoffman offers it to you at almost no extra cost! Many folks 
buy the Un-Certified Hoffman Wheat. It has been grown with 
care. Highly cleaned too, and tested for sound growth. Sells 
at a lower figure. 
TREATED SEED - What's That? 
It’s an extra precaution to help you gain better crop results. 
Costly here — but mighty valuable to you. The dust applied 
(Ceresan), kills many disease germs that might attack the grow¬ 
ing crop. Highly effective against stinking smut. Please under¬ 
stand — these crops did not show this smut trouble — it was not 
necessary to treat them for such a reason. But Hoffman is offer¬ 
ing you quality seed. No trouble or expense is spared. Hoffman’s 
Certified seed Wheat has been treated. ... If you order the 
un-certified seed, and want it treated with Ceresan, please say 
so on your order, and add 5c per bushel to Price List quotations.
