HYBRID FIELD CORN FOR TEXAS. 
We have always supplied our customers with the best in Field Seeds, and in line with 
this policy we are making Hybrid corn available to our customers only in varieties that we 
deem worthy of trial. 
Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations and commercial hybrid seed corn growers have 
worked over a period of years testing and improving varieties adapted to conditions and 
soils of this area. 
In many parts of Texas certain Hybrid corns have shown an increase in yield of 20 per 
cent and more. We, however, have received some reports that have not proven so worth- 
while. 
Texas is a big state, different sections have a wide variety of soils and, of course, grow- 
ing conditions are different. For this reason we recommend that you plant only a portion 
of your corn acreage in Hybrids. The next few years should show continued improvements 
on Hybrids and you will soon learn of one or more varieties that excel in your immediate 
section.

National Hybrid Seed Corn | 
One reason for the good performance of 
National Hybrid in Texas is due to the inbred 
parents out of Texas and other Southern va- 
rieties that are used in them. This Southern 
blood gives us an ear with a good size kernel, 
a long grain, and a good shuck covering over 
the ear. These hybrids pull much like our 
native open-pollinated varieties. 
Our National Hybrid seed is pure double- 
crossed hybrid seed. This seed is not a one- 
half hybrid resulting from a top cross between 
a hybrid parent and an open-pollinated va- 
riety, but is 100 per cent hybrid. These Na- 
tional Hybrids go all the way and give you 
the full value and all the advantages obtained 
from pure double cross hybrids. 
NATIONAL HYBRID 134TH. A yellow dent 
hybrid with good shuck covering over the 
ear, has a good sized kernel and long grain. 
Produces highest yields on good soil either 
bottom land or upland, is drought resistant 
and has a strong stalk. Recommended for the 
black land prairie belt and east Texas. All 
reports received on this variety planted in 
Texas in 1941 are favorable, increased yields 
over open-pollinated corn were pleasing.

Do Not Plant Seed Out ee 
of the Crop You Get | 
From Hybrid Seed Corn 
Hybrid Corn is the ‘‘mule” 
among field seeds. Hybrids are * 
produced from pure inbred stock. 
These inbreds are small and look 
like nubbins, but when crossed 
with other unrelated ‘’nubbins,”’ 
the ''Hidden Vigor’’ comes out in 
the production of a fine crop of 
corn. The planting of seed from 
this fine crop results in a “run 
out’ looking corn because it ac- 
tually starts to run back to the 
nubbins from which it came. 

Hybrids for Other 
Territory 
Research is progressing in de- 
veloping hybrids for the Coastal 
Plain and other parts of Texas. 
To date we do not have hybrids 
which we would definitely rec- 
ommend for this and other terri- 
tory, although you might like to 
try one of the above hybrids. 

NO. 8 TEXAS HYBRID 


134TH HYBRID AT GARLAND, TEXAS 
Texas Hybrids 
TEXAS HYBRID NO. 8. This is a good yellow 
corn of the Surcropper type. Grains and ears 
are of fair size and it will prove to be a popu- 
lar Texas hybrid. This corn is produced by 
planting each fifth row with 127C X 132A (a 
true hybrid parent) with certified Yellow Sur- 
cropper. Considerable work by hand is required 
to produce this strain. This variety is strongly 
recommended by our Texas Agricultural author- 
ities. 
TEXAS HYBRID NO. 12. A double-cross hybrid 
that we are able to offer this year for the first 
time. It is of the yellow dent type and we 
believe will prove to be one of the heaviest 
yielders of the Texas Hybrids. Has excellent 
drought resistant qualities and we do not hes- 
itate recommending this one for trial.
