Hoffman’s Funk ‘‘G’’ Hy- 
brids certainly DO STAND 
UP! They are outstanding 
in the whole hybrid indus- 
try—because they have the 
stuff that takes storms and 
comes through them in 
fine shape. Where many 
other hybrids suffer badly. 
Breeding tells—and these 
“G” Hybrids have real 
breeding. Splendid root sys- 
tems, plus strong, whippy 
stalks gives these “G” Hy- 
brids extremely good stand- 
ability! 
Old stumps can be dis- 
posed of by boring a one- 
inch hole 20 inches deep 
in the center of the stump. 
This should be done in the 
fall. Into the hole place 
an ounce of saltpeter and 
fill with water, then plug 
the opening. In the spring 
remove the plug and put a 
match to the hole and you 
will find that the stump 
burns rapidly and com- 
pletely. 
To decrease slippage of 
canvas. belts, a _ small 
amount of melted rubber 
from an old inner tube 
rubbed on the working 
surface of the belt will do 
the trick. 
SEED WHEAT AND 
WINTER BARLEY 
READY AUGUST 1ST 
Now growing under our 
supervision is a large acre- 
age of splendid true-to- 
name Seed Wheat. It will 
pay you to put your entire 
wheat acreage in new seed 
of this quality. 
If you’ve never tried it 
before, sow Winter Barley 
this year. It makes big 
crops, excellent feed. A 
fine crop of Hoffman Lan- 
caster County grown Seed 
Barley will be ready early 
for sowing in the fall. 
VIGOROUS BUCKWHEAT 
Where soil is thin or other crops have failed, Buckwheat makes 
a valuable, dependable crop. Excellent for choking out weeds 
and grass in fallow land being prepared for other crops. 
Buckwheat Middlings are valuable as a high-protein dairy 
feed. Also much relished as a grain for poultry. Blossoms are 
fine for bees, produce a rich, dark honey. 
Seeded all of June and early July, about one bushel per acre. 
DROUGHT-RESISTING SPELTZ 
This vigorous Speltz thrives on poor land, resists smut, rust, 
and is not readily damaged by rain. It ripens early, is adaptable 
to a wide range of soil and climate. Makes good feed for cows, 
horses, cattle, hogs. Often mixed with bran shorts. Handle 
like oats and sow about 2 bushels per acre. 
USE “CERESAN” TREATMENT 
FOR GREATER GRAIN YIELDS 
When you consider how little the new Improved ‘‘Ceresan” 
costs—only about 2 cents per bushel of grain seed treated, or 
6 cents per acre—you readily appreciate why so many farmers 
have come to look upon it as the cheapest form of crop insur- 
ance possible. It eliminates another needless gamble against 
“fate,” guards against losses through stripe or seedling, blight, 
covered or black loose smut, through seed rotting caused by 
soil fungus parasites. It controls infection because you use it 
on wheat, oats, barley and sorghum BEFORE planting. 
“Ceresan” treatment is not designed for use with smutty 
seed only. Extensive tests prove that it increases yield even with 
apparently sound seed. In over a 3-year period, 65 tests with 
oats show an average increased yield of 18 per cent over un- 
treated seed. Barley and wheat showed increases of around 
6 per cent. While treatment of grain known to be smutty has 
resulted in increases as high as 19 bushels per acre. In high 
recommendation of ‘‘Ceresan,” the U. S. Department of Agri- 
culture reports, “. . . in 3 years experiments were very satis- 
factory, not only in bunt control, but in its effect on germina- 
tion when properly applied . . . cheaper than most other dusts, 
more easily applied, has no undesirable effect on drill action or 
rate of sowing, and—protects seed against organisms other 
than bunt more effectively than do copper carbonate and 
formaldehyde.” Use 14 ounce of “Ceresan” per bushel of 
seed. Cover 24 hours before planting. . . . See Price List.
