Hoffman Seed Corn 
(Open Pollinated Types) 
For those who will still plant the regular old- 
type, open pollinated corn . . . here is their seed. 
It is of sound germination, well graded. Proc- 
essed by thorough Hoffman methods to insure 
successful stands. 
To get full benefits from your corn acreage— 
use the two seed treatments offered on page 3o. 
““‘LANCASTER COUNTY SURE CROP’”’ 
Since 1912, more of this corn has been planted 
than all other old-type corns combined. Not a 
show corn, but makes a large proportion of ears 
with well-glazed grain in the ensilage it pro- 
duces. 
Ears long and big, with yellow grains high in 
protein. Cobs thin, 12 to 16 rows. Grains are 
somewhat square and don't leave gaps between 
rows. About a bushel of corn to 66 to 68 pounds 
of ears. Stalks tall. Develops and matures me- 
dium early. It doesn’t demand rich soil. “Lan- 
caster Sure Crop” has produced crops where 
other corns failed. Dependable even well into 
the North. 
‘““LONG’S CHAMPION YELLOW’’ 
Too late for corn in Northern sections, but has 
turned in good crops in Southeastern Pennsy]l- 
vania. Produces big ears with deep yellow 
grains. In Northern Pennsylvania and New Eng- 
land it’s used for silage, producing tonnage— 
topped only by the G Hybrids for silage devel- 
oped for these sections. Don't plant it on poor 
soil. If fed well, on good soil it will perform all 
right. 
““\WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT’’ 
Medium season corn for Southern Pennsylvania, 
New Jersey and Ohio (except in higher alti- 
tudes). A good yielder. Ears white, but sides 
show yellow. Ears compact, cob not too large, 
grains good size.

Corn as Chick Shade 
One man ran 6 rows of corn along 
two sides of his summer range. The 
birds used the corn for shelter 
through hottest part of summer. 
His corn yield from these strips 
was same as his main crop corn. 
Pullets like shade spots where they 
can eat and drink in comfort. 
Shred Fodder for Feeding 
Many leading stockmen always do. 
They say cows eat more, and the 
refuse makes better absorbent for 
liquid manure, is easier to haul out 
and spread. In cattle barns 
where bedding and manure are al- 
lowed to build up, a dusting of 20 
per cent superphosphate over the 
surface each week or 10 days in 
fall and winter will better the fer- 
eee value when applied to crop 
and. 
More Hen Comfort—More 
Eggs 
To kill lice and stop their multi- 
plying on fowl’s body .. . apply 
thin strip of nicotine sulphate to 
perches half hour before roosting 
time. Heat from fowls converts the 
liquid to a gas which penetrates 
feathers to kill lice. Ventilate to 
offset any effect of over-application 
of the drug. Repeating treatment 
an ue days will get the next breed 
of lice. 
Corn Suckers 
Don’t sucker corn. The old belief 
that suckers hurt has been proved 
wrong. And don’t hill seed corn in 
Sea ee te Ce) to roots often re- 
sults. ,
