20 A Few Cents Extra for Seed Makes a Big Difference in Yield 
HYBRIDS W ENSILAGE 
LESS ACRES FILL YOUR SILO 
In Wisconsin, Michigan, northern Illinois and other northern states, the farmers are using Hybrid Corn for ensilage. They 
want stronger stalks, better quality, larger yields, which mean more silage and more profits. It has been proven the last two 
years that some Hybrid Corn varieties are superior for ensilage. Official tests show that late maturing Hybrids grown in 
northern part of corn belt have made an increase of 22% in ensilage tonnage over open pollinated ensilage varieties. Below 
we offer two well known Hybrids we recommend planting for larger ensilage crops. Plant Hybrid Corn and watch it grow.

Hamilton, Mich. 
Gentlemen: Wish to tell you how pleased I 
am with all the seed bought from you. I have 
tried your Alfalfa, Clover and Timothy and some 
of your seed oats. 1 think that you have the 
finest seed on the market.

Gentlemen: Plea.se send a sample of Grundy 
County Sweet Clover, and Special Superior Sweet 
Clover, as 1 want some good Sweet Clover for 
spring sowing. You can tell the world that all 
seed I have purcha.sed from you has been satis¬ 
factory. Yours very truly

At an additional cost of 25e per acre it i.s reasonable to 
expect an increase in silage tonnage of 5 to 7 tons per acre. 
Wisconsin official tests sbow’ that Hybrid Corn earlier than 
Illinois 960 outyielded open pollinated check varieties as 
much as 4.9 tons per acre. Michigan tests show as much as 
7.3 tons per acre increase in Hybrid over open pollinated. 
With a taller growing, slightly later Hybrid like Hlinois 960, 
these increases in green tonnage should be greater. A corn 
to be good for ensilage should have both stalk and grain pro¬ 
duction. Hlinois 960 is one of the taller growing Hybrids 
and assures the heavy tonnage required for a profitable en¬ 
silage corn. In four Illinois districts in central and southern 
part for an average of four years, 1936-7-8 and 9, Illinois 
960 was heaviest producer of all Hybrids. Yields of 109.7 
bi;. per acre for Illinois 960 are recorded in the official tests 
• for Illinois. Illinois 960 is a good ensilage for northern 
states where you want more silage on fewer acres. In a 
n^jt shell it will make you more profit. 
You’ll get it by planting Illinois 960. 
Price—Flat Grains, $2.75 bu.; 
Round Grains, $2.00 bu. 
This is an ideal Hybrid Corn for the northern part of the 
corn belt. Is earlier than Illinois 9(i0. .lust what you want 
for producing a large tonnage of silage per acre. As far 
north as southern part of Wisconsin and Michigan, Indiana 
432 will mature corn in a normal season. For the average of 
2 years 1937-38, Indiana 432 was the highest producing Hy¬ 
brid in the north half of Iowa, in state yield test. In one of 
the 1938 tests it was 25 bu. per acre better than the average 
open pollinated corn. State tests prove that medium maturing 
Hybrids make from 15 to 25% more ensilage per acre. In¬ 
diana 432 is a good feeding corn. In some districts in north¬ 
ern Iowa it outyielded all well known commercial Hybrids. 
It’s of Indiana origin and you will find it a top producer. It 
will fill your silo at a lower cost than common open pollin¬ 
ated ensilage corn you have been using. 
Price—Flat Grains, $2.50 bu. ; 
Round Grains, $1.75 bu. 
Great Yellow Corn for the Corn Belt 
Many seem to think that Western Plowman was grown in 
the best corn belt district of Illinois on a larger acreage than 
any other open pollinated corn. It has always been considered 
a dependable corn over a period of years. • We have not re¬ 
ceived one unfavorable report from it the past year. It stands 
up well under unfavorable conditions better than many varie¬ 
ties. It’s an excellent corn for livestock farmers. Under nor¬ 
mal conditions it matures in around IIO days. It produces a 
good shaped ear of a nice size. Don’t believe you can find 
any fault with Western Plowman. The two important points 
are the wide range of adaptability and its high yielding quali-' 
ties. This corn has been carefully graded. All flat edgedrop 
grains. 
SANOSEED ‘‘65’’ 
The farmer of today knows that corn is affected by 
certain diseases such as seedling blight, and rots of stalk 
and root. These diseases can be controlled by dusting 
the seed wdlh scientific chemical compounds, such as 
Sanoseed “65.” Such treatments help germination and 
permit earlier planting. The acre cost is low, A pound 
treats 6 bushels of seed. Price of Sanoseed “65”: 3 oz. 
can. 25c; 1 lb., 75c; 4 lbs., $2.40. Postpaid or Ex¬ 
press prepaid. 
YELLOW DENT 
Krug’s Dent has made a name for itself in the corn 
belt. Wherever grown it has proven an extraordinary 
producer. It ranks right along with Reid’s Dent and is a 
little earlier in maturing. This was developed by cross¬ 
ing Reid’s Dent (smooth type) with the Gold Mine. We 
have records of a test of dozens of varieties that was 
conducted over a four-year period. Krugs proved the 
best yielder of all. 
Rich Color—Solid Ears 
The ears are a little smaller than later varieties 
but they are very solid and are produced in great abun¬ 
dance. The deep yellow color speaks for its superior feed¬ 
ing value. Krug’s Dent gives you earliness plus heavy 
yields. This variety meets the needs of many corn belt 
farmers better than any other we know of. 
Improved Seed Stock 
We have a supply of very fine seed that we ronsider 
superior to most Krugs seed available. It has been care¬ 
fully graded, shows a strong germination test and is surely 
great planting stock. Let us supply you with some of 
this tested seed. Prepare yourself for bigger yields per 
acre. Such seed is worth more than our low price. This 
acre cost is reasonable. See page 32 for quotations.
