WEEDS DIE IN SILO 
After 3 years’ experiments 
burying weed seeds in 
silage, T. E. Woodward, of 
the USDA, says “tweed con- 
trol” is an added advan- 
tage of siloing the hay 
crops. He tried 26 differ- 
ent kinds of seeds, bury- 
ing them in separate bags 
while the silo was being 
filled, at depths varying 
from 14 to 30 feet, and in 
silages of different mois- 
ture content. He tried his 
experiments in corn, al- 
falfa, and grass-and-al- 
falfa silage, made with and 
without molasses. As the 
silage was fed out he re- 
covered the seeds and test- 
ed them for germination 
along with duplicate sam- 
ples he had kept in his 
office. Only three kinds 
showed any life after be- 
ing buried in the silage 
and none tested over 11% 
growth.

It takes more than a cut- 
ter, a blower and a man 
to fill a silo. . . . Let Hoff- 
man’s Quality Seed Corn 
work for you this summer. 
It will play a real part in 
your silo-filling work. 
“LONG’S CHAMPION YELLOW” 
Planted beside other corn, Long’s has produced 20 more bushels 
per acre, up to 100 bushels of shelled corn per acre. Not for 
poor soil. But take good soil, feed it well, and you'll pull a 
crop to be proud of! Too late for Northern sections, but makes 
good crops here in Lancaster County. Ears are big and smooth, 
with plenty of yellow deep grains. Popular for silage, heavy 
in tonnage, rich in food value, in Northern and New England 
States. Often preferred over regular silage types. 
“IMPROVED LEAMING” 
Some folks call this “rough and ready” because of its pro- 
ductiveness on almost any soil. Surprising yields from poor 
soils—excellent, of course, on well-drained, fertile land. Grain 
is rich yellow, wedge-shaped, deep. Ears fill well at ends and 
between rows. Red cob medium size 14 to 18 rows to the ear. 
Though not extra tall, gives good fodder because of many wide 
leaves and juicy stalks. 
“EUREKA ENSILAGE” 
If you use silage for long periods, you can count on this tall, 
leafy grower, ‘as high as 16 feet 4 inches.” A favorite with 
dairy farmers all through East. Too late for grain in North. 
“EARLY LEAMING” 
One of the earliest of yellow corns, well adapted for higher 
locations. Ears are small, come low on the stalk. Cobs small 
with good sized grains. 
‘JOHNSON COUNTY WHITE’ 
White grain variety. Late. Good silage, big tonnage, because 
of heavy leaf growth. Also good husking variety. Does well 
on poorer soils. 
“RED COB WHITE ENSILAGE”’ 
You'll get big tonnage of sweet, juicy ensilage from this 
Virginia-grown seed. Stalks have short joints, plenty of leaves. 
Plenty of hard ears, white corn on red cob, in long seasons. 
Not used for grain in the North. But is a very popular straight- 
silage variety.
