INTRODUCTORY HYBRID CORN 
ASSORTMENT 
Have you overlooked this bargain? To any farmer who 
has never planted Kelly’s high-yielding hybrid seed corn, 
we shall furnish one peck each of five different hybrids-- 
your choice or we will select best adapted numbers--enough 
corn to plant ten acres for only $6.00 freight paid within 
700 miles. Large Flat only. Test these good hybrids on 
your own farm, 
MIXED HYBRID, $3.50 TO $4.75 BU. 
If you want lower priced hybrid corn, here is a real bar- 
gain--both Early and Late Mixed. This corn comes off the 
same ears as the $6.50 to $7.75 per bushel corn, shelled 
in handling and some gets mixed from drags, boots and 
elevator. Germination 94% to 98%, evenly graded. 
You can produce more corn by mixing five good hybrids 
together or by planting ten rows of one then alternate with 
ten rows of another hybrid than by planting any straight 
hybrid. Why plant open-pollinated corn when you can buy 
good hybrid corn at these prices? Prices, either Early 
or Late Mixed; Large or Medium Flat, $4.75 bu.; Small 
Flats or Medium Rounds, $4.00 Bu.; Large Rounds, $3.50 
per Bu. 
BROME GRASS 
Brome is a very hardy, drouth resistant pasture grass 
and all Alfalfa seedings should contain some Brome Grass. 
Sow 10 to 15 lb. of Alfalfa, according to type of soil, with 
5 lb. of Brome Grass for best results. 
Brome is very palatible, so is Alfalfa. With this combina- 
tion, all stock like it. Brome also is one of the best grass - 
es to seed to check soil erosion. Its quick growth and 
heavy root system makes the best grass for this purpose. 
Price, up to 50 lb., 17¢ lb.; 50 lb. or more, 15¢ lb.

SOY BEANS, WARNING 
Few farmers at this time, (February 1,) realize the ser- 
iousness of the soy bean situation in the North Central 
Soy Bean Belt. We have been testing Soy Beans for weeks 
and find many thousands of bushels for which we paid a 
premium which were not fit for seed purposes. During 
this time we have been buying good lots of beans 100 to 200 - 
miles south of us, again paying a premium for them and 
trucking them from the farms to San Jose where most of the 
Soy Beans and all Cow Peas are handled. Most of the Soy 
Beans in the same latitude as our section were frozen be- 
fore maturity. The farther north you are located the worse 
the condition. After the severe freeze we had ideal weather 
which dried these beans in good shape, some coming in 
testing only 10% moisture but showing 25% to 50% germ- 
ination. We ourselves put out $1200 worth of Chief seed 
beans last year most of which were lost. We had a very 
_ unfavorable season for the later varieties of Soy Beans, 
and the severe freeze came 40 days ahead of the normal 
time for such weather, 
However, we have some Chief Beans grown from Certi- 
fied seed which passed field inspection, and beans grown 
from this seed can be Certified. Chief Beans, germination 
85% or better, $2.95 per bu. Chief Beans, germination 75% 
or better, $2.65 per bu. 
The following varieties of yellow bean may be a little 
mixed as it is almost impossible to get pure varieties of 
yellow beans unless Certified.
