OSCAR H. WILL & CO., BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA 
SEED CORN FOR 
THE NORTH WEST 
We have been growing and breeding seed corn for 
the Northwest for 57 years. We have introduced 
nearly all of the really satisfactory varieties for the 
Northern Great Plains. We have experimented with 
inbreds, hybrids and crosses for fifteen years. 
It is evident therefore that if you want North 
Dakota seed* corn of tested value you must purchase 
it from Oscar H. Will & Co. 
We do not grow our seed corn outside the Mis¬ 
souri Slope in North Dakota. 
Our Seed Corn comes in 1 bu. size bags of fine 
.towelling—useful in every household.

ABOUT HYBRIDS—YIELDS, ETC 
Hybrid corn is not a magic preparation; there are thousands of kinds of hybrid corn, 
some of no value at all, some adapted to one type of conditions, some to another, but none 
to any and every condition. In other words. Hybrid Corn must be bred with an adapta¬ 
tion to conditions in the locality where it is to be grown. 
We have had variety corn trials of hybrids, crosses and regular varieties at our nursery 
for the past two years. Other trials have been conducted over the state at different points. 
Information gathered from these various trials definitely demonstrates that no present known 
hybrid is worth its cost under all conditions to growers over most of our state. We have 
found just three hybrids from Minnesota that are adapted to our most favorable conditions. 
In addition we can recommend the Dakota Hybrid from the Agricultural College. Our own 
Falconer Hybrid shows superiority most seasons to the standard strain though not every 
year. This is true of our Northwestern Dent Hybrid as well. 
Our trials seem to prove that variety crosses of our North Dakota varieties, if the 
proper varieties are selected, give much better yields than any of the hybrids. 
During the past season three of our carefully made variety crosses were outstanding yielders 
in our own trials and we have favorable reports on them from other sources. 
, Altogether we can recommend the variety crosses as sure to give increased yield under most 
conditions. But we urge you to determine by experiment on a modest scale which ones are 
best adapted to your conditions, and to try out presumably adapted hybrids in the same way. 
We have hundreds of inbreds well on their way to completion and hope to have hybrids of 
adapted varieties to offer within the next few years.

Falconer corn is grown by the hundreds 
of thousands of acres now and many thou¬ 
sands of these acres are off type, unselected 
or poorly selected scrub corn of the poorest 
type and certain to make inferior yields. 
We introduced Falconer Corn. Falconer in careful tests over 
most of our state has outyielded every variety including the best 
hybrids. 
The answer seems obvious then. Buy genuine Falconer of 
true, high yield¬ 
ing strain from 
Oscar H. Will 
& Co. and de¬ 
vote most of 
your own corn

coner Corn.
