“Dear Mr. Field: In regard to my last 
year’s corn, your 135R was the best I ever 
raised. I have planted a number of different 
hybrids but the 135R beats them all.”—W. 
0. Huffman, Langdon, Missouri. 
Make Money on White 
Hybrid ; 
You all know that White Hybrid brings 
a premiuin price, because the big mills 
all over the country want it. No reason 
‘why you shouldn’t get the 15¢e to 25¢ 
extra a bushel that is offered. And we’ve 
got the best white hybrids for you right 
here at Henry Field’s. Just as easy to 
grow. Just as easy to harvest. Just as 
easy to market. And you get a premium 
price. 
Watch for Germination on 
‘Hybrid Corn é 
There’s a lot of hybrid this year that 
is carrying poor germination. Most of it 
was caused by the early freezes last fall. 
Some states are even ‘“‘recommending” 
that 80% germination be earried on the 
label. This is fair, of course—if you want 

that kind of corn. Here at Henry Field’s 
you get 90% germination or better, as 
always. And no shrivelled, discolored, 
frost-damaged stock either. It pays to 
buy at Henry Field’s where only ‘Seeds 
THat Yield Are Sold by Field.” 
100 Bu. to the Acre 
aS 
‘Dear Henry: I owe you thanks this year 
for the fine corn that I got from you. Took 
120 days to mature this year on account of 
the cold spring. No. 100 is just in the dough, 
No. 116R is in the milk. Both look like it 
ecouldn’t help but make a 100 bushels to the 
acre.”’—Charles Stenckocker, Rt. 1, Delta, 
Colorado. 
Round Grade Hybrid 
You all remember the wet, cold spring 
last year. And how rough on the corn 
crop it was. Well, those of you who 
planted my Round Grades can also re- 
‘member how well they did. Rounds are.

this just by looking at them. With their. 
seed coats “all around,” instead of just 
up the sides and at the top, they resist 
injurious soil conditions better than any 
other grade. Especially, they take bad 
spring weather—and even like oy And

year than I can remember. Most of it 
was in the Northern and Middle sections, 
but even some parts farther South suf- 
fered. You can teéll this corn by its bad:

ALL seed corn was frost’ damaged to

This isn’t true. None of my corn was 
damaged.-It’s the best-looking, best ger- 
minating hybrid I’ve ever grown. I’m 
proud of it, and I know you will be, too. 
Only thing is, I don’t have enough of it, 
and about half my numbers are sold out 
already. With perfect seed a very scarce 
item, everybody is going to try to buy it.

“Dear Mr. Field: As for meat the Hawk-

They have everything—tfast growing, clean
