Calhoun Red Cob 
CALHOUN RED COB. White Dent with 
kernels shading yellow toward cob, ears 
large, sure yielder. Most largely planted 
of all varieties and wonderfully popular 
with farmers. Ears are eight to ten inches 
long, deep-kernels, red cob. Ears are uni- 
form, well covered with shuck and fill out 
well even to the nubbins. 
HASTINGS PROLIFIC. Requires a fairly 
long season to develop hard corn, 110 to 120 
days. Stalk is large, 8 to 12 feet tall, ac- 
cording to soil and season, rooting deeply. 
Stalk and blades are large and vigorous. 
Ears of medium size, two or more to the 
stalk, depending on the distance given and 
the growing conditions. On good strong 
land, where corn has distance of 24 to 30 
inches in the row, it often makes 4 to 6 
ears to a stalk. Consistently produces high 
yields and is adapted to hills and bottoms. 
Ears small but shell out 90 per cent grain. 
MOSBY’S PROLIFIC. Similar to Hastings 
but larger ears, with the same type small 
cob and deep kernel. If you do not like 
the many small ears of Hastings, plant 
Mosby and get fewer and bigger ears. 
IMPROVED SURECROPPER. Most exten- 
sively planted white variety in Texas. The 
farmer knows that it makes, wet or dry, 
and that it is the safest corn to grow as 
dry weather is sure to come. They call it 
Big Cobbed and Light, yet a part of the 
crop in Surecropper is good insurance 
against dry weather failures. Popular for 
May and June planting. 
DWARF MEXICAN JUNE. Large white ears, 
beet icr late planting, as it is drought re- 
sistant. 
WHITE TUXPAN. Originated in Texas. 
Vigorous drought resistant, recommended 
especially for hill soils. 
SOUTHERN YELLOW DENTS 
Yellow corn is recognized as superior feed. 
Is rapidly being bred into superior production, 
weevil and drought resistance. Farmers who 
know to buy yellow corn for feed, can now 
grow it. 
SOUTHWESTERN YELLOW DENT. Another 
drought resistant large eared, large grain, 
yellow corn from dry Texas and Oklahoma. 
It has been popular with our trade for many 
years and we predict will remain so. Until 
White Sure Cropper was bred yellow, it has 
been appropriately called a Yellow Sure- 
cropper corn. Ask anyone who plants this 
vhenirpias about it and then pay us a visit for 
seed. 
HILLS YELLOW DENT. Is outstanding as 
one and two eared variety of deep rich 
golden yellow corn. Check Experiment 
Station results and you will find it produc- 
ing around the top record every year. Bred 
in Louisiana. It covers securely with a 
heavy shuck and is practically free from 
weevil damage, every one knows that Yel- 
low corn has more food value, so why not 
plant a tested variety and produce better 
yellow corn that you buy from the west 
and north? 
YELLOW SURECROPPER. The Texas Ex- 
periment Station, recognizing the drought 
resistance and high productivity of White 
Surecropper, yet its poor feed value, bred 
it into a firm yellow corn. Planted both 
early and late, it shows outstanding merit 
from Louisiana to the dry Panhandle of 
Texas and Oklahoma. Hill farmers will 
find this to be the yellow corn they have 
waited and wished for. 
JARVIS GOLDEN PROLIFIC. A yellow pro- 
lific corn, well adapted to this section and 
growing rapidly in popularity. Originating 
in Tennessee, it is earlier than native va- 
rieties, yet its origin in the South, makes it 
cover well with a full shuck, protecting it 
from bird and weevil damage. Its earli- 
ness allows it to make before the dry 
period comes.

NORTHERN VARIETIES 
Planted for early feed and roasting ears, 
there will always be a place for some extra 
early corn. 
WHITE SILVERMINE. Most popular large 
White Dent and used extensively by market 
gardeners. Ears are large, fill out well and 
make beautiful roasting ears. 
WHITE PEARL. Similar to Silvermine but a 
softer corn when matured. Also grown ex- 
tensively for feed and roasting ears. 
WHITE ST. CHARLES RED COB. Most 
popular northern corn for feed, being very 
solid and a good producer. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT. Most popular 
northern yellow and possibly more exten- 
sively planted than any variety in the U. 8S. 
We usually secure our stock from Missouri, 
hence it is semi-southern. 
ST. CHARLES YELLOW. A strain of Yel- 
low Dent, very popular and recognized as 
the best northern yellow for Louisiana, 
TENN. RED COB. Another semi-southern 
corn that produces well and is very popular 
when an earlier white dent corn is desired.

OATS AND RYE 
FERGUSON 922 OATS. Leading variety Red 
Rust Resistant Oats and a high producer. 
APPLER STRAIN 4 OATS. Growing in 
popularity and a very high-producing Red 
Oat. 
ALBER. Most rust resistant oat for coastal 
area and produces almost equal to Fergu- 
son and Appler. 
COKER FULGRAIN. Best early oat and it 
comes off about 10 days ahead of regular 
strains. 
COKER VICTORGRAIN. New early strong 
straw rust and smut resistant oat that 
looks like a real winner.

D&PL 12 Cotton Seed in Louisiana, Texas 
and Arkansas counties bordering La. Deltapine 
is the most popular variety in the South. In- 
troduced into Texas recently, it is fast being 
accepted as a superior cotton. The customer 
comes back for more. We sell no other. It 
is slightly wilt resistant. 
D&PL 12. A selection from DPL 11-A and 
put out by Delta Pine Land Co., in 1940. 
Tested by all Southern Experiment Sta- 
tions in 1938 to 1941, in a majority of 
cases it showed slightly superior to DPL 
11A with same characteristics, 1 to 2 per 
cent more lint, a longer staple and on 
average of 5 per cent more lint per acre. 
Most farmers thought there could be 
nothing better than DPL 11A but 12 is 
certainly an improvement. Our seeds are 
Ceresan treated and delinted.
