H. F. Hybrid Makes Good in Arkansas 
‘Dear Mr. Field: This is your Hybrid Corn. 
up on the picture. 
Lots of big ears even if they don’t show 
Just sending it to prove that H. F. Hybrid grows in Arkansas. 
This is No. 129. Am planting it again this year,’’—Geo. G. Worley, Booneville, Arkan- 
sas. 
Wet, Late Season 
Makes Hybrid Scarce 
It looks now like Hybrid Corn will be 
the shortest next year of any time in the 
past. The wet, late season is the reason. 
Here at Shenandoah all Hybrid got in 
late, as it did all over the country. We 
even had to replant some fields because of 
washouts and too much rain in general. 
All of this means that the crop will be 
short. This much we know. And if we get 
an early frost, this shortage could be 
very serious. It would mean that there 
might not be HALF the corn that’s 
needed. Don’t want any of my old cus- 
tomers to be caught short. So this year 
am giving them the opportunity to ‘‘book 
in advance’’ their requirements for next 
year. This way they will be sure of corn. 
Hope all of you take advantage of it, be- 
cause I can’t guarantee you seed any 
other way. 
The patient in the hospital when asked 
why he had AB-1234 tattooed on his back 
answered: “That isn’t tattoo. That’s 
where my wife hit me with the car while 
I was holding the garage doors open.”’ 

Likes 90 Day Corn 

“Dear Mr. Field: I bought 2 bu. of your 
No. 90 Hybrid last spring and it has 
done just grand. Grasshoppers were very 
thick, but we will have lots of corn. Some 
people think corn won’t grow in this coun- 
try, but yours sure does. This picture does 
not do justice to the field. That’s my wife 
and my grandson, Jerry Conklin, in the 
picture.’’—A. C. Behl, Midland, South Da-
