18 HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR MARCH, 1943—Henry Field Seed & ‘Nursery Co., Shenandoah, lowa 






















80 Bu. Per A. on Hill Land 
“Dear Field’s: That 
weatherproof blend No. 
116 Mule Hybrid corn 
really yields. It made 
80 bushels, per acre for 
us on clay hill land that 
normally doesn’t come 
close to that. And it 
was the 6th corn crop 
on that same land, so 
you can know what we 
think of it. . 
Albert Onsager, 
Waukon, fa. 


20 Bu. Per A. More Than Ordinary Corn 
a “Gentlemen: You wanted to know how my corn 129R turned 
out last year. It made about 20 bu. more per acre than the 
open pollinated and very little rotten corn.”—C. G. Price, Forest 
City, Missouri. 
Béats Other Hybrids 
“Dear Mr. Field: TFhe 129R seed corm I had from you last 
spring outyielded any other variety around here grown under 
the same conditions. It made 60 bu. per acre on upland where 
others made 48 bu. right beside it and planted the same day.”— 
A. F. Freiberg, Valley Falls, Kans, 
80 Bu. Per A. in Kansas 
“We got 2 bushel of your Mule-Hybrid seed corm last year 
and it is yielding from 75 to 80 bushels per acre. We want to 
get 5 bushels again this year and want to find out whether you 
have it and the price and do we pay for it now or when it 
comes. We had No. 135R for heavy bottom soil and would like 
the same.’—W. J. Neumann, Doniphan, Kansas. 

Comparison of 2 Kinds of Corn After Storm 


Neighbor’s Corn Went Over 
‘Dear Mr. Field: You know we were pleased with your 
Mule-Hybrid corn, but here’s a couple of pictures that show 
you one good reason beside the yield. We had a heavy storm 
here Sept. 11 and I took these pictures after it. The top pic- 
ture shows my Henry Field Mule-Hybrid still standing after 
the storm and the other shows my neighbor’s. Some differ- 
ence.”—Hardy Berg, Clarkfield, Minn.

hybrid I know of and I believe it would beat any of them, It sure 
ean take the hot dry winds which always come when least wanted.”

f Beat 13 Other Hybrids 
“Now, Henry, you helped me save 30c¢ on a bushel you promised — 
me in August. You see I was so busy telling people about your 
MULE HYBRID I torgot about this myself. You see I had 18 dif- 
terent company hybrids on one large field growing side by side. 
But you whipped them all—yes, you walked all over them and you 
can bet you'll sell more corn around my country now. You see 
our corn resealer is asking .every farmer how their hybrid corn 
made and which they recommend and he told me so many say 
FIELD’S HYBRID. So you see that’s a darn good preof.’—F. J. 
Jelinek, Rt. 1, Box 71, Linwood, Nebraska. ° 
75 Bu. Per A.

12 bushels more than any of the rest.”—L. A. Betzer, Firth, Nebr. 
Beat 2 Other Hybrids 
“This spring I planted 129L Mule Hybrid and 2 other hybrid 
corns from other companies. I got a perfect stand from your hy- 
brid. Whe grasshoppers did not eat yours but ate -the leaves from 
the other two kinds, After we husked the corn we found your 
corn led all the rest for yield and feed quality. So I am sending an 
order for 5 bushels mule hybrid.”—Anton Kudlacek, Prague, Nebr.
