SCOTTS STILL HAVE FARM SEEDS 
Hybrid Corn - The supply of early hybrid seed corn is about gone and later hybrids 
are being used up rapidly. We have been fortunate in having more seed of the pop- 
ular hybrids than in past years, and on nearly every order have been able to furn- _~ 
ish the variety selected. 
Round kernels are being used much more widely. Generally they are as high in germ- 
ination as flat kernels, produce as well and are graded uniformly. Special planter 
plates are usually required which can be used in future years. Scotts Hybrids are 
all treated and will produce vigorous, high yielding corn if soil and weather con- 
ditions are at all favorable. 
Soybeans - It will be difficult to supply everyone with early maturing beans. 
However, there are a number of varieties from which a selection may be made. 
RICHLAND: early, stiff stalked, satisfactory oil content, good yields on rich soil, 
grow short on thin soil. 
MINGO: medium early, 3 to 5 days later than Richland, exceptionally high yield- 
ing, satisfactory oil content. 
MANCHU: medium maturing, widely used but has never been considered a pure strain. 
DUNFIELD: medium late, very high in oil content, satisfactory in production. 
SCIOTO: late maturing, high in content and quality of oil, high yielding, good 
hay variety. 
Processing plants are giving more attention to varieties because of variation in 
oil content, and more emphasis can be expected. Soybeans can be seeded at a lower 
rate per acre than is commonly done if germination is high. That is just another 
reason we have been so careful in selecting, testing and cleaning our seed beans. 
Emergency Seedings - Winter damage to fall sown grains and last year’s clover and 
grass seedings has been severe. Sudan grass, soybeans, millet or other emergency 
crops can be used to take the place of lost seedings. 
Cover Crops - With increased acreages of corn and soybeans, winter cover crops 
increase in importance. Ryegrass has been widely used because of its extensive 
root system and its rapid growth; or alfalfa and clovers may be used. Seedings 
should be made immediately after the last corn plowing. Cover crops can also be 
used where soybeans are planted in rows. They give protection throughout the 
winter months, add humus, and in the case of legumes, nitrogen to the soil. 
While the demand for Farm Seeds has been strong and seeds have moved freely, we 
have kept prices of Scotts Seed just as reasonable as possible. We can still take 
care of late orders on practically all seeds and can make immediate shipment.
