MIXED HYBRIDS OUR BEST BUY 
From the time corn is picked with a picker, run through an elevator and into the 
truck,then dumped at our seed house, there is quite a lot of the corn shelled, In fact, 
some of the driest corn this fall showed 35% shelled. We do not run any shelled corn 
in our drier bins so this corn is graded and sold as Mixed Hybrids. We also get some 
corn mixed from the drags, from the shellers and graders. It comes off the same ears 
and will yield equally as well. In fact, some of our customers tell us the past year 
they have had their highest yields from Mixed Hybrids, which is reasonable, as these 
Mixed Hybrids bloom over a period of from 8 to 15 days while a straight hybrid will 
bloom over a period of from 5 to 8 days. 

You will notice we have early to medium Mixed Hybrids which are taken from 
the middle of the price card—-K42—up. Our medium to late Mixed Hybrids start 
with K42 and goes down on the price card. Our price to you delivered for large 
or medium flats is $4.50 per bushel. Regular flats or medium rounds $3.50 per bushel. 
Large rounds or thick flats $3.00 per bushel. 
ROUND KERNELS 
With the drouth condition which we have at this time in Central Illinois again, it 
looks as though we are going to have quite a surplus of round grains. This year we sold 
thousands of bushels of rounds and have yet to receive the first complaint that our 
customers did not get a stand from these rounds. 
We are very sorry that we had to disappoint some in that we were unable to fur- 
nish them planter plates for these round grains, but we did furnish many hundreds of 
sets of plates. However, conditions with some manufacturers made it impossible for 
them to furnish us the plates which we were to furnish you. This year we havea large 
stock of these plates on hand so we can take care of any of our customers who want to 
make the savings by planting round grains. 
We again repeat our offer of furnishing free a set of plates for any standard make 
of planter with an order of five bushels or more of round grains. Do not expect us to 
furnish you plates for some out-of-date planter for which the manufacturer does not fur- 
nish such plates.

The above shows five top hybrids out of 96 hybrids in the Indiana official test at 
Lafayette. a: 
You will note our K374 which made only .6 of one bushel less than the top hybrid 
showed 16% lodged plants compared with one showing 49 lodged plants. Damaged kernels 
only 0.3, shows a very high grade, the top hybrid having more than ten times as many 
damaged kernels. Also note the moisture content is lowest of any of the five hybrids. 
Ears dropped showed 2%. This is very unusual and would not happen more than once in 
ten years. However, in the complete table, six hybrids in this test show 5% or more dropped 
ears. : 
Table 5, Indiana Official Corn Test, Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co., Ind. 
_ Kelly’s K874 shows the highest yield over a three years period of any hybrid in the 
official test, making an average of 90.1 yield. 
You can see our K374 is not only the highest for one year but is consistent high yieid- 
er.
