“Pate”—The Hired Man 
Guess Pate is never happier in his life than when selling Mule Hybrid corn, or talk- 
ing corn and seeds with hundreds and hundreds of our good customers, every year. 
Thought you folks would like to see Pate’s display of Mule Hybrid in the Arcade building 
at Shenandoah. Pate has a tie on this time. 
I’ve seen him lots of times too busy even 
to put a tie on. Send in your orders. We are here to take care of them.—H. F. 
Better Than Medicine 
“Dear Pate: IT know you will think I am 
erazy, but here is what I would like for you 
to do. Please send me one of your catalogs. 
Now, I am going to tell you right now that 
I eannot give you an ordex this year for you 
see I am in a hospital. I will let my parents 
€own at Mound City, Mo., do their ordering 
from you as they always do. I just got to 
thinking today how [I would like to have 
one of Henry Fields seed catalogs, so I could 
read it from front to rear & look at all those 
beautiful pictures of fruits & vegetables. 
“I was wounded in the Battle of Leyte. I 
believe one of your catalogs would do me 
more good than two months of medicine.’— 
Lt. Clyde W. McGuire, Dibble General Hos- 
pital, Menlo Park, California. | 

Beats Them All 
“Dear Mr. Field: Just a few lines about 
your seed corn. Planted 2 bushels of your 
116. Sure got a good yield and it 
weighed 7 pounds to the bushel more 
than any corn I have raised. Lots of ears 
with 24 to 28 rows of corn on it. Guess 
it took the State of Iowa and then some 
to beat it.”—-Herman Steinke, Milford, 
Towa. 

Plants All Mule Hybrid 
This picture was taken on the Glenn 
Wiles farm near Plattsmouth, Nebraska. 
Glenn raised 250 acres of Mule Hybrid 
corn last year, planting numbers 135R, 
135 and 129-1—#in fact has used Mule 
Hybrid for past several years and wants 
100 bushels for 1945. Not only does 
Glenn raise good corn, but also Hereford 
cattle, ducks and a few coon dogs too. 
P.S. Mule Hybrid averaged 75 bushels 
per acre,

World’s Finest Red and 
Sweet Clover 
We still have a supply of both Red and 
Sweet Clover. All topnotch quality, bright 
plump seed and all new crop. Absolutely 
free from noxious weeds. We gall it the 
World’s Finest, because that is exactly 
what it is. Won’t take a back seat for 
anybody. Guaranteed to please you 100%

Remember, we don’t offer country run 
seed. It’s triple recleaned over the most 
modern mills in the entire midwest. And 
we can get your orders out at once—no 
waiting. Four large midwest wholesalers 
were entirely sold out early in January— 
‘we knew this was coming and so sent buy- 
ers in the field last fall and bought the 
finest seed we could find for our cus- 
tomers. It’s here in Shenandoah waiting 
for you. 
Can You Do Better? 
“Dear Mr. Field: Received your cata- 
log yesterday around 11 o’clock but hav- 
ihg company did not get my order made 
out until tonight. -I sure could not think 
of gardening if I did not have your seeds. 
I'll soon be 78 but go on as if I were only 
25. Feel fine. Put. up 113 qts. of canned 
goods last fall. I expect to raise a garden 
as long as I can use the strength God 
gives me. I do my own work. Shovel my 
walks, mow my yard and glad I can.’’—
