ea: 
60 Bu. Per A. on Poor Soil 
“Dear Mr. Field: When we first 
moved on this place the neighbors told 
us we’d never get our seed back from 
corn as it had been planted to corn for 
5 straight years without fertilizer. We 
went ahead and planted your 129 and 
made 60. bu. per A. The neighbors still 
can’t see how it was done.’’—W. B. Sin- 
clair, Godfrey, Ill. 
100.6 Bu. Per A. 
“On Clarion loam in the County yield test 
Henry Field’s Mule-Hybrid made a yield of 
100.6 bu. per acre. Planted was No. 129.”— 
Don Burgess, Panora, Iowa. 
80 Bu. Per A. in Shelby Co. 
“Dear Mr. Field: We got 80 bushels aver- 
age of No. 116 after chinch bugs raided it. 
Am ordering more 116 and will call for it as 
soon as the weather permits.’”’—Lawrence 
Clark, Botna, Iowa.

Good Yield Despite Weather 
“I ordered you 129 Mule-Hybrid and it 
was sure fine. The weather was hot and 
dry and most folks didn’t have corn, but 
in spite of that your Mule-Hybrid made 30 
bu. per Acre—a high yield here.’-—Joseph 
Hanacek, Eldorado Springs, Mo. 
96.8 Bu. Per A. 
“On Waukesha loam in the official Guthrie 
County yield test MULE-HYDRID made 96.8 
bu. per Acre. It was No. 129.”—Paul Her- 
rick, Guthrie Center, Iowa. 
80 Bu. Per A. Fremont Co. 
“Dear Pate: My 129 R is making 80 bu. 
per acre weighed in over scales and is best 
corn in this territory, being hard hit by dry 
weather. It is far better (25 to 30 bu.) than 
other hybrids planted on same land right be-, 
side it.’—Alvin W. Cory, Hamburg, lowa. 
Hill Drop Good as Edge 
BEST ROUND 
HILL-DROP GRADE 
$950 
Bu. 
5 Bu. Lots $3.35 Bu.—10 Bu. Lots $3.25 Bu. 
Hill Drop Yields As Much—Costs Less! 
(Perfectly Uniform) 
Most farmers plant flat kernel corn and 
don’t know the advantages of hill drop corn. 
That’s the only reason it’s cheaper. 
These small round Kernels make the same 
or better corn than the flat kernels—the 
only difference being they weren’t squeezed 
on the ear as much as the flat kernels. All 
are graded to be perfectly uniform in size 
and will plant as easily in your planter 
(with hill plates) as edge drop corn. 
Hill Drop Stands Cold Better, Being small 
and round, they plant more acres per bushel. 
And, as they have more food in the kernel, 
they nourish the young corn plants better 
than small flat kernels, thereby giving you 
a stronger stand. It stands cold weather 
better, too. 
Hill Plates Cost Only 60c Ea. Plates to 
plant hill drop as uniformly as edge drop 
are readily available at any dealers. Cost 
about 60c ea. You save much more than 
that on only 1 bushel, and after that your 
saving is “velvet.” 







No Wonder It’s 
The Farmers Choice 




15 Bu. More Per A. in Il. 
“Dear Mr. Field: Your No. 129 corn 
sure does yield, and it seems to like hot, 
dry weather. It made 15 bu. more per 
acre than my open pollinated in the 
same field.’,—F. Zimmerman, Newton, 
Ill. 
100 Bu. Per A. 
“Dear Mr. Field: Just a line to let you 
know how well pleased I am with your Mule- 
Hybrid seed corn. This year some of it yielded 
as high as 100 bu. per acre. I am 100% 
pleased with it and ordering more of the same 
kind.” —Walter Walker, Bolckow, Mo. 
64 Bu. Per A. in Green Co. 
“Dear Field: I have used your corn for 
several years. This year’s average is 64 bu. 
to the acre on 35 acres.”—Charles H. Hedges, 
Scranton, Iowa. 




Drop But Saves You 15° 
BEST FLAT 
EDGE-DROP GRADE 
$i 00 
5 Bu. Lots $4.90 Bu.—10 Bu. Lots $4.80 Bu. 
Edge Drop Grade Is Common Favorite 
This is the grade everybody knows. Most 
farmers plant it as only a few realize the 
extra savings of planting Hill Drop and have 
switched to it. 

All Perfectly Uniform. Every kernel is 
perfectly graded for thickness, length of 
kernel and width of kernel. Only uniform 
corn that will run smoothly through your 
planter with no trouble is sold. Our grad- . 
ing equipment in our three hybrid corn 
plants is absolutely the most up-to-date 
there is assuring you of the best grading 
possible to obtain. 
Edge Drop Supply Short. The supply of 
edge-drop this year was seriously cut down. 
If you put off ordering too long, we may not 
be able to furnish you with edge-drop in 
the number you want, so please order early.
