HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR MARCH, 1944—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa 


Difference Between Grades of Corn 
We had this picture made up last fall while grading corn in 
our processing plant. .-These kernels show exactly how sheller 
run corn is graded to properly fit your corn planter plates. 
That is the flat edge drop kernels dropping through on the left 
side. The round kernels (hill drop) cannot fall through the 
screen and are separated from the flat edge kernels. You avoid 
planting trouble from improperly graded corn when you use 
Henry Field’s correctly graded Mule Hybrid corn. After grad- 
ing all corn is treated with corn dust, sacked and ready for the 
planter box.

13,000 Bu. 116R on 140 Acres 
This is some kind of a record for overloading a corn crib. G, D. 
Anderson of Newell, Iowa, was the customer here and you can be 
sure he’s sold on Mule Hybrids. He grew 13,000 bu. of 116R on 140 
acres. 

Better Than 6 Other Kinds 
“Dear Henry: ‘This is not just wind. I have been trying Mule 
Hybrid 2 years. Last year I used 6 other kinds, this year 4 others. 
Both years Mule Hybrid has come out way ahead. It is the only 
corn that has never been worm eaten or smutty.”—B, H. Barger, 
‘Worth, Mo. 

Lot Cheaper in Cost 
“Dear Mr. Field: ~ am enclosing my check in payment for the 
balance due on the 22 bushels of Hybrid ‘Corn that I have ordered 
for 1944 planting. I think your corn is as good, if not better, than 
any other Hybrid and by far a lot cheaper in cost.”—Mrs. Chas. 
Schmedding, Rt. 1, Winnebazgo, Nebr. 
126 Bu. Per Acre with 135R 
“Pate” Simmons out look- 
ing over our field of Mule 
Hybrid 135R at harvest 
time last fall. This 60 Acre 
field yielded 126 bushels per 
acre on the north half and 
even where corn on the low 
part of the field flooded out 
it still made better than 80 
bushels per acre. You can 
tell by the picture that the 
corn stands up like a ram- 
rod, with ears at a nice 
height either for machine 
or hand picking. Pretty 
hard to beat, don’t you 
think?

Late Planted Corn Fools Neighbors 
Hiere is a real success story on late planted corn. Alvin Cheney 
and son at Farragut, Iowa, had an early planting fiood out. On 
July ist they planted one of my Mule Hybrids and harvested 70 bu. 
per acre of well matured corn. One of my medium maturing hybrids 
planted June 20th yielded 75 bu. Everyone said they would not 
have any crop at all. The Cheneys farm over 700 acres and you 
will always find five or six Mule Hybrids on their farm. 
Amazing Record for Oklahoma 



When a big field of corn will average better than 30 bu. to the 
acre in southwestern Oklahoma, that’s news for any farmer. That's 
exactly what A. H. Cook of Apache did last year. Mr. Cook says: 
“We grow hundreds of acres of corn every year. We have tried 
dozens of varieties from many localities, and yours (129 and 129-S}_ 
always out-yielded all others.” Mr. Cook tested over 125 ue 2
