o Top Motch SEED CORN... the 
bushels per acre. 
TOP NOTCH PAYMASTER. (100-115 days.) We 
endorse this corn as one of the most satisfactory 
and heavy yielding corns for southern farms. 
Bred in Tennessee, its excellence reached the 
point where 75 per cent of all the corn planted 
in the state of Tennessee is reported to be Pay- 
master. Paymaster is now planted all over the 
South. White grain, cob bright red; mostly 2 
ears to stalk, ears well filled to end. A tall 
variety making good ensilage. 
TOP NOTCH MEXICAN JUNE. (90 days.) This 
dependable variety, largely planted late in the 
spring throughout the entire Cotton Belt origi- 
nally came from Mexico. It is largely used for 
planting after oats and wheat, and can be 
planted as late as August 15th with good re- 
sults. The stalks are usually short, although 
early plantings make stalks 12 to 15 feet high, 
leaves 4 to 5 feet long. The roots run deep and 
spread so that it is a splendid drought resister. Ears 
from 8 to 9 inches long, grains short to medium, cobs 
medium in size, and while usually white, occasionally 
you'll find a red cob with white and some blue grains. 
This apparent mixture of color is peculiar to many vari- 
eties of Mexican corn. 
TOP NOTCH JELLICORSE. (110-115 days.) Bred in 
Tennessee and very popular among farmers in Tennes- 
see and Arkansas and upper half of Mississippi. White 
cob, white grain, ears 7 to 72 inches long, about 2 
inches in diameter. Grain is excellent quality and is 
filled out to end of cob, very little rotten as ears have

Protector of Planted Seed 
CROTOX. Protects corn from crows, black- 
birds, moles, etc. It aids and hastens germi- 
nation, which means healthier stalks and 
larger yields per acre. Cro-Tox will not kill 
birds or animals. Saves seed loss.

well covered by shuck. Jellicorse has proven to be a 
high-yielding variety throughout the years. So good 
that it has been used as a check variety in testing the 
value of various Hybrid Corns in Tennessee. 
TOP NOTCH LAGUNA. (110-120 days.) This variety 
has been a favorite in Mississippi for years, standing 
third among twenty-four varieties in 1929, and was 
third in average standing for the next ten years at 
Stoneville, Miss.—a fine record. Laguna ears average 
8 inches long, 14 rows of white, broad kernels, medium 
length, white cob. Laguna seems to stand adverse 
weather conditions that usually occur during the latter 
part of the growing season, and like Mexican June, 
will build its yield above other varieties planted under 
these conditions.

TOP NOTCH ST. CHARLES WHITE RED COB 
When we selected Ton Notch brand for our seeds many years ago we had in mind the highest 
standard of quality, and every year since then we have tried to live up to that brand. The tre- 
mendous volume of TOP NOTCH quality seed corn that we sell year after year is ample proof 
that farmers are pleased with our corns. Top Notc 
graded corns and are preferred by farmers who know quality. If they cost $1.00 per bushel more, 
that would be just 1214 cents to 15 cents per acre additional cost. One peck per acre additional 
yield from Top Notch brand corn would equalize that—we believe you can expect 10 to 15 extra 
h brand corn costs a trifle more than machine- 
Open pollinated seed corns produce best results when planted under climatic and soil condi- 
tions similar to those under which it was originally produced. Our open pollinated seed corns 
are produced in localities where each ‘variety is at its best. With corn as with other crops, no 
one variety has all the best qualities. No one variety is best suited for all soils and conditions. 
Plant corn suited to your locality. Southern varieties usually make best yields in the South, but for 
those who want quicker action we are prepared to supply the best Northern and Western varieties. 
TOP NOTCH ST. CHARLES WHITE RED COB. 
(100 days.) The ears are large, both in length 
and circumference. The grains are deep and 
firmly set in a medium large red cob. 
TOP NOTCH MOSBY’S PROLIFIC. (110-120 
days.) One of the most prolific corns in exist- 
ence; the stalks are tall, bearing 2 to 5 fine 
ears. The grains are long set close to a small 
white cob, very uniform in shape, well filled. 
Another feature is its abundant foliage, which 
renders it superior to most sorts for ensilage 
purposes. This is a Southern corn, and is rec- 
ommended for general crop. It is pearly white, 
small cob, deep full grain, neither too hard nor 
too soft. 
TOP NOTCH EARLY SURPRISE. (85 days.) 
This splendid early corn is already well-known. 
You can plant it early and gather it early. 
Dependable because it matures before the sum- 
mer droughts. The white grains are medium 
size. Ears snow-white, about 8 inches long. The 
grains are set on a medium white cob; stalks 
medium tall and produce average two good 
ears. Our stock of Northern Early Surprise corn 
is genuine, grown for us by the introducer. Be 
careful—don’t be misled and plant Early Sur- 
prise of uncertain origin. 
TOP NOTCH TRUCKER’S FAVORITE. (85 
days.) Ears 8 inches long, even rowed, tender 
and of fine quality, usually produces two good 
ears to each stalk. An excellent variety for field 
culture or for late planting to use as a garden 
crop. 
TOP NOTCH YELLOW MOSBY. (100-110 days.) 
Very similar to White Mosby except it hgs yel- 
low grains and a red cob. Growers claim it is a 
bigger yielder than White Mosby and earlier 
in maturity. While Yellow Mosby is rather a 
new comer and not generally known, those who 
have tried it are enthusiastic and say it will 
become a prime favorite wherever grown. 
How to Measure Corn in the Crib 
This will apply to crib of any kind. Three cubic feet of sound, dry unshucked corn in the ear 
will make a bushel. 
To get the quantity of shelled corn in a crib of corn in the ear, measure the length, breadth 
and height of the crib inside of the rail multiply the length by the breadth and then multiply the 
product of these two dimensions by the height; then divide the product by three and you will 
2\ cubic feet of corn without shucks, equal one bushel of ear corn.
