WetseVs Dependable Seed Corn 
r -WHY USE CERTIFIED SEED CORN? 
IOWA 939 HYBRID 
Certified 
This is one of the oldest and best yielding hy¬ 
brids, and has an established reputation as a good 
general purpose hybrid corn. It has been a con¬ 
sistent heavy yielder, uniform, medium height, 16 
row ear of medium depth grain. It has a small 
shank, making husking easy, and the husks open 
early after ripening, causing the corn to dry to a 
low moisture content. Matures in 110 days. 
Flat Grain—Pk. $1.50, Bu. $5.50. Large Round 
Grain Pk. $1.00, Bu. $3.50. 
HYBRID YELLOW FIELD CORN 
lOWEALTH 28-N 
lowealth 28-N answers the need for a big-stalked, 
single-eared hybrid with the same maturity as Lancaster 
Sure Crop and big type Yellow Dent. It is very showy in 
appearance. The stalks are quite tall, the ears large and 
placed at a convenient height for husking. The ears aver¬ 
age 11 inches long, are of good diameter and carry from 
18 to 20 rows of grain. 
RECOMMENDATIONS 
lowealth 28-N is recommended in this territory for gen¬ 
eral planting on soils which will mature out a crop of 
Lancaster Sure Crop or big type Yellow Dent. It is a big 
type corn and should not be used on the medium to thin¬ 
ner soils of this area. Pk. $1.80, Bu. $7.00. 
lOWEALTH HYBRID 
lOWEALTH NO. 53 This is a big, eared, utility type 
hybrid in the southern corn belt class. Ears are of high 
quality and very disease resistant, carried rather low 
On the stalk. This makes it ideal for bottom land, 
where ears are likely to run too high, but lowealth 52 
is preferable on up-land. 
lOWEALTH NO. 52 For maximum grain yields on al¬ 
most any soil type in the southern corn belt zone you 
will find it hard to equal this number. It often pro¬ 
duces two good-sized ears per plant and for this rea¬ 
son can be cribbed earlier in the fall than most hybrids 
of this maturity. Gal. 90c; Pk. $1.80; Bu. $7.00. Not 
postpaid. Gal. $1.05; Pk. $2.05; Vzbu. $3.95; Bu. $7.70.

WOOD S HYBRID YELLOW DENT 
Highest Yielding Yellow Corn for Middle Atlantic States 
Matures in 112 days; roasting ears in 85 days. A cross 
between Reid's Yellow Dent and Lancaster Sure Crop in- 
breds with the same wide adaption. For three years it 
made the highest average yield of any yellow corn in Pied¬ 
mont and Mountain Virginia Experiment Stations, out- 
yielding 27 white and yellow corns at Chatham, Va. Other 
tests indicate it is the best yellow corn for Western North 
Carolina, Kentucky, lower altitudes of West Virginia, 
Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jer¬ 
sey. Heaviest yielding early feed corn farther south. It 
should be planted a fourth closer in the row. 
"I planted two hybrid corns from different seedsmen 
and found Wood's most adaptable, disease-resistant and 
strongest roots. It is storm-resistant and yields well above 
all other corns. I have placed my order with you for my¬ 
self and neighbors."—G. D. Dutrow, Frederick County,

Wetsel's Seed Corn Treated With Semesan Jr. Free 
Much seed corn becomes infected with some dis¬ 
ease organism before or after planting. The result 
is a poor stand, weak plants, mouldy ears, and 
reduced vield. We treat all our seed corn with 
Semeson Jr., without cost to you. The treatment 
permits earlier planting, increases germination, 
protects from blight, root-rot, and other diseases, 
makes better plants, and should increase the yield 
from 4 to 20 bushels an acre.
