Dissatisfied Customer 

Though we try very hard not to make 
mistakes, we sometimes tail to please a 
customer. But here’s the first time a 
dissatisfied customer sent in his picture. 
It’s of Steven McEntire of Wardville, 
Okla., and it seems his trouble is—too 
many Henry Field apples and too green.

Some of you kiddies might not jump 
with joy when you see a picture like this, 
but I'll bet your Daddy and Mother might

it was a dandy. But you see I used to

“Dear Henry: I planted 20 acres this yr. 
ef your 116R Mule Hybrid and liked it fine. 
We would not be without it as it is a won-

other Hybrid. I planted five to six different 
kinds this year. Mule Hybrid is. superior 
to any others in every way you want to 
classify it. The stand is perfect, vigorous 
ears, uniform, extra large wonderful foliage 
which makes it a great silo corn—for silag
