There is enough of this la- 
ter line to serve the desired 
purpose and yet not so much 
as to change the character of 
the U. S. 13 in any marked 
degree. The changes that do 
occur should deepen the color, 
give it increased resistance to

and greater drought resist- 
ance. 
Yield Reports 
Last year we offered this 
for the first time and in a con- 
test between customers who 
bought this we have wit- 
nessed yield reports showing 
yields up to 190.36 bu. at 15% 
moisture. This was from An- 
drew K. Hovden, Decorah, 
Iowa, U. S. Newcomber, Au- 
burn, Indiana, 169.05 bu. Other 
reports, Green City, Mo., 146.57 
bu.: Calmar, Iowa, 137.28; 
Lakewood, Ill, 131.64. Some 
were even higher but since no 
moisture test was secured they 
were not counted.

derful yielding ability.

Never have we seen a variety of 
corn that had such unanimous 
farmer approval as U.S. 13. They 
like its large well formed ears, its 
fine feeding qualities, its strong stalks 
and its enormous yields. Looks and 
feeds like open pollinated corn but 
what a difference in production. Its 
nice big ear on every stalk. Its erect 
growth. Its resistance to chinch bug 
damage. Its rapid vigorous growth and 
its fine dark green color. All these are 
found in U.S. 13. It comes as near to 
being one ideal corn as any Hybrid. 
Yield Records 
This is not a corn for northern states but 
any farmer having conditions similar to the 
southern half of Iowa will find U.S. 138 a

tucky too and on into the south. Here are

Kansas and a great favorite in 
Missouri. <a 
Supply Limited 
We have more U.S. 13 seed 
than we had last year but the 
performance this year has been 
so Sensational that the demand 
has increased tenfold. Farm-

for other Hybrid Companies 
are buying U.S. 13 now, and
