MISSOURI No. 8 
Missouri No. 8 is a smooth soft yellow Corn preferred by feeders over a 
flinty hard type. It produces two ears under favorable conditions and is 
resistant to drought, insects and disease, maturing in 120 to 125 days. Mis¬ 
souri No. 8 has been tested in Missouri for many years and has proven year 
after year to be superior to the best open pollenated varieties under the same 
conditions. The average yield has been 36% better than Reid's Yellow Dent 
and over 22% greater than Midland Yellow. 
MISSOURI HYBRID No. 47 
This hybrid is very similar to the famous Illinois 960 except that it does 
not grow so tall. Probably best adapted to northern half or two-thirds of 
Missouri. No tests in Iowa or Illinois. Five to seven days later than Illinois 
960. Stands up well, somewhat large stalk. 
Certified and recommended by Missouri College of Agriculture as a satis¬ 
factory Earlier Maturing Variety. It is similar in pedigree to Illinois 960. 
ILLINOIS HYBRID No. 960 
Adapted to nearly all of Missouii, southern Iowa, northern Kentucky, 
southern two-thirds Illinois. Probably the most widely adapted hybrid in 
present production.

taller than many hybrids. Has good strong stalk, although the stalk is not as 
large as some hybrids. Good root system, and stands up well.

ARCHIAS’ No. 501 
A new Hybrid for Missouri that is rapidly proving its worth. A late ma¬ 
turing variety adapted to good Corn land, does equally well in the bottom

Reid’s and Midland. Resistant to Stuart’s Disease and drought. One 
large, long ear of medium deep grains to stalk. Feeding qualities equal to 
Reid’s and Mortgage Lifter. Supply very limited this season. Try this

Archias’ GOLDEN 
MORTGAGE LIFTER 
The King of All Open-Pollinated Corn 
What we have claimed for Archias’ Golden Mortgage Lifter in former years 
has been verified the past season. No Corn has given better satisfaction or 
yielded better grain than this justly celebrated variety. 
Archias’ Golden Mortgage Lifter is what you have been seeking. It is 
all corn. It is early. It is prolific. It has strong, stiff stalk and stands up 
well. It will outyield any other early corn. It has the smallest cob of any 
large grain. Is rich in oil. It will fatten faster than any corn grown. It 
suits the grain dealer and tops the market. It takes first prize wherever 
shown. 
The best up-to-date 100-day corn in existence. Its broad, closely-set 
leaves make it a valuable fodder corn. It will please you, and it’s the corn 
you want.

Hickory King 
The white grain is so wide and deep, and the cob so small that often a 
single grain will cover the end of a broken cob. It has been called the 
Poor Man’s Corn because it can be depended upon to produce a crop on 
poor, thin land. On good land it bears 2 ears to the stalk. By mail, post¬
