In spite of the fact that Funk G Hybrid Corn has clearly 
demonstrated its superiority over all other corns in this 
section, there are still folks who prefer the old-fashioned 
varieties, either for special purposes or just because they 
like them. 
To these customers we offer the same seed corn service 
that has made Hoffman Corn Headquarters for 35 years. 
And that service offers definite advantages to help them get 
the pick of the crop. For instance. In those 35 years we 
have developed our own best seed sources—and from this 
corn, grown for seed, we have the pick of the crop every 
year. On the opposite page you'll see pictures showing 
how carefully Hoffman seed corn is handled, how thoroughly 
it is treated to make sure it is in perfect planting condition 
for you. 
All these things are necessary to good crops—and since 
the average farmer lacks the equipment necessary to prop- 
erly handle seed corn it doesn't pay to replant his own corn. 
So feed your own corn—come to Corn Headquarters for 
good seed, properly conditioned, that will give you more 
feed for next fall. 
HOFFMAN “LANCASTER COUNTY SURE CROP” 
Until G Hybrids came along, this was the best corn grown 
in the East. Lots of farmers still tell you it’s as good as an 
uncertain hybrid. (One of the inbreds used in many G 
Hybrids is this good old “Lancaster County Sure Crop” with 
its long, full ears.) 
Since Hoffman introduced this variety to eastern farmers 
in 1912, more “Sure Crop” has been grown than all other 
varieties combined. It isn’t a show corn, but if you like a 
large proportion of ears with well-glazed grain in your silo 
along with stalks, this corn will do it. And how it has filled 
the thousands of corn cribs all these years! 
Ears are long and big, with yellow grains rich in protein. 
Cobs are thin and run 12 to 16 rows. Grains are somewhat 
square and don't leave gaps between rows. About a bushel 
of corn to 66 to 68 pounds of ears. Stalks are tall and leafy. 
Develops and matures early, and comes through droughts 
in fine shape. Soil? You don’t have to worry. It doesn’t de- 
mand rich soil. “Lancaster Sure Crop” has produced crops 
where other corns failed. Dependable even well into the 
North. 
“\WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT” 
A medium early corn that matures nicely in Southern Penn- 
sylvania, New Jersey and Ohio (except in higher altitudes). 
It is a big yielder. Ears are white, but sides of the grain 
show a good healthy yellow. You'll get lots of shelled corn, 
for the ears are compact, cob not too large, rows set close 
and grains are long and wide. 
‘““REID’S YELLOW DENT’”’ 
If this is the variety you want—and it’s a good, practical 
yellow corn that turns in good crops—we have good seed 
ready for you. Grows successfully from Southern Pennsyl- 
vania south, except in higher altitudes. Ears are compact, 
with a thin, red cob and deep yellow grains. Regular rows 
set closely on cob.

Electric lights turned on at four 
o’clock in the morning from Novem- 
ber 1 to April 1 give increased produc- 
tion at the season when eggs are 
selling for their best price. Use one 
40-watt bulb per 200 square feet of 
floor space, and two 40-watt bulbs for 
each 20 by 20-foot laying house. 
Cultivating Corn 
Too Often? 

In these days of labor shortage on the farm, 
one advantage of the new hybrids is the fact 
they do not require as frequent cultivation 
as the old-fashioned varieties. In fact too 
much working is actually harmful. Many 
successful growers tell us that they have cut 
corn cultivation to two workings a season. 
The killing of weeds is most effectively and 
economically done before you can see the 
rows! Use the spike-tooth or weeder, or 
better still, both—before the rows are 
visible. 
It has been proved that working G Hybrids 
after their exceptionally wide-spreading root 
systems are developed has a tendency to cut 
or injure parts of the root ‘feelers,’ and the 
cultivation does more harm than good. 
If you are growing these G Hybrids, con- 
fine your cultivation to two or three trips 
through. See if you don’t get just as good or 
better corn. And use that extra time at a 
more important job.
