STAFFEL’S DROUGHT RESISTER—A Pedigreed 
Drought-Resisting White Seed Corn. The easi- 
est and cheapest way to increase your yield 
per acre is to plant better seed. Staffel’s 
Drought-Resister is a New Name but is not 
a New Strain of Corn. It is an early maturing 
drought-resisting, Native White Corn that has 
been bred for many years to meet Texas con- 
ditions. Some farmers try to get early matur- 
ity by using northern grown seed. Northern 
varieties are not adapted to southern condi- 
tions. Pound 20c; peck 75c; bushel $2.75, 
postpaid. 
STAFFEL’S CERTIFIED YELLOW DENT—Pro- 
duces larger ears and grain and matures in 
about 100 days. Pound 15c; peck 1.00; 
bushel $3.00, postpaid. 
MEXICAN JUNE CORN—Well known among 
the most progressive farmers of the Southwest 
having proven itself worthy of a high place 
in the Corn family of the Southern States. 
Pound 25c; peck $1.50, postpaid. Not postpaid, 
bushel $2.25. 
STAFFEL’S CERTIFIED YELLOW SURE CROP- 
PER CORN—Early maturing. Drought resisting. 
Stalks are short to medium in height. Leaves 
are wide and thick; ears are large and a 
large cob. Well suited for upland soils that 
are inclined to be droughty. Yellow corn al- 
ways receives a premium over white corn. 
Pound 20c; peck $1.00; bushel $3.50, postpaid. 
REESE YELLOW DROUGHT RESISTER (Certi- 
fied)—An early corn which reaches maturity 
in 75 to 80 days, and is an excellent feed 
corn with a high shelling percentage. A very 
prolific corn and has been the leading yielder 
per acre in all test plots for the last five 
years. Pound 20c; peck $1.25; bushel $4.00, 
postpaid.

are of three kinds— 
diseases, (3) mis- 
Garden pests 
(1) insects, (2) 
cellaneous pests. 
1. INSECT PESTS—Inse-ts must eat— 
that is why they consume the grow- 
ing things in your garden. There are 
two main kinds: biting insects, and 
sucking insects. The biters are con- 
trolled with stomach poisons placed 
on the leaves they eat. Suckers get 
their food from the juices of the 
plant—not the surface, and must be 
fought with ‘contact  insecticides”’ 
which clog their breathing pores or 
penetrate to their vital organs. 
2. PLANT DISEASES—Fungi or bac- 
teria are controlled (just as. insect 
pests are) with spraying or dusting. 
In some cases, the soil is the com- 
municator of the disease, and must 
be disinfected. In other cases, the 
disease may be transmitted by an 
insect from one plant to another— 
and the insect has to be controlled. 
3. MISCELLANEOUS PLANT PESTS— 
These include gophers, slugs, snails, 
squirrels, etc. 

Thoroughness of application is essen- 
tial for control. The entire plant must 
be covered, stems and undersides of 
leaves as well as the top. To be 
killed, the insect must be hit by the 
spray. Partial killing off of pests is of 
little advantage. They reproduce so 
fast that unless a thorough job is 
done, the condition soon reverts to 
its original state. 
That’s why you need GOOD sprayers 
and dusters—built to do the work 
thoroughly, and to LAST. 
Cheap sprayers are never a bargain. 
They do not last and they waste mate- 
rial. They do not give the fine mist 
necessary to coat economically. They 
do not have enough force for the use 
of contact sprays.
