Texas Hybrid No. 8 



Texas Hybrid No. 8 
Makes about 25 to 35 per cent more 
corn per acre than native open-polli- 
nated corn. Has medium soft grains and 
is light yellow in color. Grows fast and 
matures very early. 
Texas No. 8 is a cross between two in- 
bred strains and Improved Certified 
Yellow sure-cropper. 
This corn is especially recommended 
for areas where a drought resistant corn 
is needed. 
=. oe The 
Father 
Plant 
of 
Hybrid 
Corn 
The tassel of the father plant ripens in the heat 
of the summer sun and expels literally millions 
of the pollen grains into the air. These dust-like 
particles fall bélow and are carried by the slight- 
est breeze until they come-in contact with and 
adhere to the silks on the immature cob thus fer- 
tilizing it and producing the kernel. Each pollen 
grain is capable of mating with a single cell and 
carries with it the characteristics of the parent 
plants to the future seed. 


TEXAS HYBRID CORN 
Many years of inbreeding work at the Texas Agricultural 
Experiment Station, by our own State's wonderful plant 
engineers, has made available for Texas growers several 
varieties of high-yielding Hybrid Corn, especially adapted 
to Texas soils and seasons. Fortunate, indeed, are all Texas 
corn growers in being able to enjoy the fruits of these 
labors resulting in greater corn yields for all producers. 
Our necessary foundation seed come directly from the 
Station each year and after one year's work of cross- 
breeding we are in position to offer you our Bagley Texas 
Hybrid Seed Corn of highest quality and purity. 
All of our Bagley Texas Hybrid Seed Corn is hand 
shucked, nubbed and shelled on an individual sheller pre- 
venting any mixture. It is then cleaned and screened as to 
grain size on a special cleaner machine, which insures for 
you a better and more uniform planting. 
A large quantity of our Hybrid Corn has already been 
sold and we urge that you write us your requirements and 
let us get your order on file as early as possible. Be sure to 
plant some of this good Hybrid Corn the coming season.

The Mother plant play: the important role of 
actually producing the Hybrid Seed which are 
distributed to growers. Its tassel has been re- 
moved and when the silks appear they receive 
the pollen from the nearby father plants. Each 
individual silk leads directly to a kernel on the 
cob and the male pollen is in that way united 
with the female mates on the ear. If no union 
takes place between the male pollen and female 
sex cells the kernels do not develop. On the 
other hand, timely and proper fertilization re- 
sults in full and complete rows of grain on the 
ear of corn.
