Cutting Old Virginia Corn 
“RORD’S 
TRUE Old Virginia” 
The Best Ensilage Corn 
The Kind that Fills the Silo, 
With the Finest Ensilage, 
From the Fewest Acres 
The Dairyman’s Most Profitable Crop 
Some of our largest dairymen declare that 
FORD’S OLD VIRGINIA Ensilage Corn is 
superior to any other variety, being much 
sweeter, larger ears, keeps better in the silo 
and produces the largest amount of milk and 
meat. It is unexcelled for dairy feeding and 
produces more tons of rich, juicy silage than 
other varieties. 
We cannot exaggerate the merits of this 
wonderful corn for silage purposes. 
We first introduced this corn to the dairy- 
men of Ohio and have been headquarters for 
the TRUE OLD VIRGINIA for many years. 
IF YOU WANT TO FILL YOUR SILO FROM 
FEWER ACRES, PLANT FORD’S OLD VIR- 
GINIA. 
In the past there has been quite a lot of 
white corn sold as Old Virginia, which did 
not measure up to the standard. Be sure you 
get the true Old Virginia from headquarters.
