A glance at the above table will show the decided advantage of sowing the new 29-3 corn. It 
has a wonderful growth—18} tons per acre—equivalent to most commercial varieties of corn, 
besides an inherent ability to give immense yields of dry shelled corn. No other corn can claim so 
high a percentage of dry matter per acre and shelled corn per acre. 
CERTIFIED SEED 
This fine corn is beyond the experimental stage and is fast becoming a very popular variety. 
Hybrid corn costs a great deal more to develop and produce than open pollinated varieties, but 
this additional amount is balanced because a bushel of seed goes further (4-5 acres) and yields 
much more dry matter and corn per acre. The germination is very high. 
Price—$5.00 per bu. 56 lbs.; 3 bu. $2.75 f. o. b. Cortland, N. Y. 
ADAPTED SEED CORN 
WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES 
One of the best varieties for New York State. Yields an enormous amount of dry matter 
and ears. Thoroughly air dried to give high germination. Maturity—120 days. 
Price—$3.25 per bu. 56 lbs. f. o. b. Cortland, N. Y. 
CORNELL NO. 11 
This is the ideal husking corn for most of New York State. For elevation above 1,000 feet 
this makes a wonderful silage corn. Plant thin and use liberal fertilization. A yellow dent va- 
riety originated by our State college. 
Price—$3.00 per bu. 56 lbs. f. o. b., Cortland N. Y.

MANCHU or WILSON SOY BEANS 
FOR SILAGE—OR EMERGENCY HAY CROP 
Soy Beans are as high in protein and food value as clover or alfalfa. Corn silage alone is 
only 14% protein. You can nearly double the protein content of your silage by planting corn 
and soy beans together. This combination gives more dry tonnage than corn alone. Plant corn 
so as to have the stalks 9-12 inches apart and at least 3 soy bean plants between each stalk. This 
takes 6-8 quarts of corn and 10 to 12 quarts of soy beans to the acre. We have experienced no 
difficulty in growing or harvesting. On long rows when the beans and corn are planted in the 
same box the beans have the tendency to work to the bottom and plant out first. This may be 
overcome by using a separate box, or by always putting the corn in first, then adding the soy 
beans. They will mix sufficiently. Refill at least every 40 rods. Plant very shallow. Never run 
beans and fertilizer together. They should be innoculated. We recommend the Manchu or 
Wilson varieties to plant in your corn or alone for hay. Put some in this year and watch your 
cows’ milk. Soy beans for hay should be sowed at rate of 2 bushels per acre. This year growers 
reported bigger corn where soy beans were used than where corn was planted alone. We believe 
the explanation is that the corn used some of the nitrogen gathered by the beans.
