Hybrid Corn Cannot Perform Miracles. Build up Your Soil by Growing Legumes. 

One of the new machines which we have installed for the sizing of all 
flats. This machine will take out all rounds leaving three perfect grades of flats. 
Machine is made up of cast iron rings ground down to one thousandth of an inch. 
They are special for making large flats, medium flats and regular flats.

good open pollinated corn. Increase in the yield of our hybrid corn will pay for the 
corn several times over. Many of our customers tell us they produced the highest 
yields 1 in 1940 with mixed hybrids. You will note on price list we have early and late © 
mix hybrids. From K-42 up is an early mix. K-42 down makes ine late mix hybrids. 
BE SURE TO BUY SOME OF THESE MIXED HYBRIDS 

MIXED HYBRIDS OUT-YIELD STRAIGHT HYBRIDS | 
We have had several reports in the last two or three years where the Mixed Hy- 
brids have out-yielded the straight hybrids, especially in a drouth season. There is a 
reason for this inasmuch as the Mixed Hybrids will pollinate over a period of 10 to 12 
days whereas the straight hybrid will probably shed pollen under good conditions for 5 
or 6 days. With the terrible heat we have had the past two summers and hot winds, 
much of the pollen has been ruined and has resulted in a poor set on the ears. The 
Mixed Hybrid bloom over a longer period and a much better set has been secured. 
@ “I want to tell you about the corn I grew this year. My crop averaged 85 bushel per acre 
which is about the largest yield for this community. K-374 and US-13 both yielded about the same. 
Everybody that looked at it said it was wonderful corn.’”—-VERNON A. MATHIAS, HILLCREST -
