HENRY FIELD'S. SEED SENSE FOR MARCH, 1943—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, lowa - 19 
FIELD’S FAMOUS MULE-HYBRID CORN 
WINS PERFORMANCE SCORE OF 100 
PLUS IN 10 DISTRICTS OF 
IOWA YIELD CONTEST 

Official Test Shows Mule-Hybrid a Consistent 
High Performer 
Henry Field's Mule-Hybrid again won high honors in the official 
corn yield contest by winning a performance score of 100 or better in 
10 out of 12 districts of the Iowa corn yield contest. 
This is an official contest rating Mule-Hybrjd against ALL OTHER 
hybrids and again Mule-Hybrid comes out with flying colors. The contest is spon- 
sored by the Agricultural Experiment station, Iowa State college, at Ames, Iowa, 
and to win such high honors in an official contest of this sort, competing with all 
other hybrids is a real record. 
This performance score on which the ranking of hybrids is made is based not 
only on yield, but also on the percentage of stand, moisture percentage at harvest, 
percent of lodging, ear height, ears dropped, ett. In other words, everything about 
the corn is judged, and to be ranked high, it must be good in all features. 
You can’t buy better corn than Mule-Hybrid, but you can save by buying it, for 
buying it direct—you cut out high agent’s commissions.

With 84.6 bu. per acre, Field’s Mule-Hybrid corn, No. 135R, won ist place in 
the corn test plot of the Muscatine Vocational Agricultural class of Muscatine, Iowa. 
Other entries included almost all the well-known hybrids, but Field’s bested them 
all. Included in the judging were such factors as stand, number of suckers, num- 
ber of ears, number of nubbins, and moisture content. 
Everywhere it goes, Henry Field’s Mule-Hybrid is making high records not only 
for yield alone, but also for general all around performance. ‘

“Dear Mr. Field: We wanted some of 
your Mule-Hybrid corn and think it is 
wonderful, It gave us a tremendous yield 
and is of good quality. It made about 100 
bu. per acre, As we live 30 or 35 miles 
out of Iowa in Minnesota we think it’s a 
great corn for this locality. Picture of my 
son Jimmy and dog Spotty with some of 
the corn, Spotty likes to carry corn as 
well as.the mail from the mailbox.’—Mr, 
and Mrs. Jim Hunt, Truman, Minn.

‘Dear Henry: I tried’ your mule hybrid 
No. 116 for average soil last year, and it 
is grand. [I got 70 bushels per acre, I am 
planting 40 acres again this year and 
would like 6 bushels. I can’t afford to 
plant common seed as your mule hybrid 
made 20 bushels more than Minnesota 13 
with the exactly same care, soil, etc.

“Dear Folks: I am well pleased with

the acre. That outyielded any kind of
