Berry’s 813 
|Grown on 
2.95 Acres. 
Harry Stout is a 
good name for him. He is 
one of our neighbors right out 
of Clarinda and is also one of our 
producers of Berry’s 813, 77 acres of it 
this season. Harry is mighty proud of his : 
“813” and he wanted to get some exact figures on it, 
without any guesswork, so he could tell the world! And 
he certainly did! : 
With the help of some friends he came up with the 
startling results mentioned above, over 151.9 bu, per acre 
on the area checked. The largest yield on any corn ever 
gathered in Page County, where we all live. 
‘Just ask Harry Stout if you want to hear someone talk 
who is really sold on Berry’s 813. We would be accused 
lof bragging if we talketl like he does. Picture No. 1, the 
‘field checked. Picture No. 2, the men who checked it. 
Mr. Stout is the man on the right in the corn field. 
“My Friends Thanked Me" 
Dear Friends: I have been doing you a lot of good in 
'fegard to your seed corn and can truthfully say that. T 
/enjoyed it very much when farmers came to me and said, 
“Well, Henry, you told me the truth. Berry’s 813 is ‘the 
best!”’ I could have sold hundreds of bushels in the last 
two years had I not been so busy, Farmers around here 
were slow about Sige: something new. But today the 
picture has changed. They’ve seen what Berry’s 813 will 
do... Henry Wilde, St. Elizabeth, Mo. 
“My 813 Largest In The Neighborhood" 
Dear Mr. Sinn: This is our third year in ordering seeds 
and corn Hybrids from you. So far have been very well 
pees: Had some Berry’s-813 hybrid corn that was the 
argest in the neighborhood. 405 has been a sure thing 
and am ordering it for the third year, Am trying your 
medium Blends this year also 203 W. .

"813 Is Really A Knockout" 
Gentlemen: A few days ago I sent an order for 10 
bushels of Berry’s No. 813 Hybrid and 10 bushels of your 
No. 800 Hybrid corn from Berry Seed Company at 
Clarinda. é : 
I had Berry’s 813 this year and it was the best ever, 
making 90 bu. (no irrigation). Have used in the last 3 
years quite a number of noted numbers, and 813 was 
really a knockout. -Planted_and tended in the same man- 
ner as other numbers were tended. 
W. L. Otto, Ulysses, Nebr.

It's Sensational! 
If you could only hear the enthusiastic re- 
ports from farmers who have grown this great 
Hybrid we wouldn’t have to say a word about 
it. The big long ears, the deep golden kernels, 
the large strong stalks, the fine feeding quali- 
ties and the tremendous yields are the things 
they talk about. Many of these farmers grew 
more than one Hybrid and to date we have 
found none who reported he had anything that 
yielded as much as our 813.

We wish you could have been here and seen 
the great seed field in the Harry Stout Farm. 
Would like to have had you help harvest those 
2.95 acres checked and watch the great big ears 
of Berry’s 813 being weighed in at 80 pounds to 
the bushel, for the amazing total of over 151.9 
bushels to the acre. 
190.36 Bu. Per Acre On One Test 
In test plantings we have the following re- 
ports on ‘‘witnessed’’ yields. 190.36 bu. per 
acre at 15% moisture, Andrew K. Hovden, De- 
corah, Iowa;. 169.05 bu., U. S. Neweomber, Au- 
burn, Indiana; 146.57 bu. from Green City, 
Towa; 1387.28 bu., Calmar, Iowa; 131.64 bu., 
Lakewood, Dlinois: These records of yields in- 
dicate the wide adaptability of Berry’s 813 and 
show the enormous ‘capacity of this variety to 
yield. It is far the best for main crop. 
A Wonderful Pedigree 
Berry’s 813 has evérything that U. S 13 ever 
had plus a lot more. Extra later pollinating 
Inbreds have been incorporated. Our purpose 
is to provide additional pollen to assure fer- 
tilization of the ears in event the main pollen 
crop shall be burned by excessively high tem- 
peratures. 
Thus there is provided an extra assurance of 
better filled ears. This also has a tendency to 
lengthen the ears and it appears to reduce ear 
droppage. 
Character of Berry's 813 
One large ear per stalk. Easy to husk by 
hand or machine. Deep grains of high feed- 
ing value. Enough soft starch so livestock will 
eat it readily but not a réal starchy kernel. 
Dark green foliage. Husks dry before stalk ma- 
tures. Strong stalks. <A vigorous grower. An 
exceptional drought resister. Resistant to chinch 
bugs and disease. High shelling percentage. A 
fine feeding corn. A longer pollinating period 
assuring better filled ears under adverse condi- 
tions. Adapted to a wide range of soils and 
suitable wherever U 
S. 13 can be grown. 
(See map.) Be sure 
to grow 
some this 
year.
