Don’t Gamble on Your 
Hybrid Seed 
Higher prices do not make one Hybrid superior 
to another. Some dealers and agents may try to 
sell you on that idea. The basic seed stock used 
in producing our Hybrid Corn was secured from 
experts. Their ability and honesty. is unques- 
tioned. This is the foundation for Hybrids that 
produce larger and better crops. Our Hybrids are 
built from the leading Inbred lines that have been 
developed by U. S. Gov’t. and State Departments 
of Agriculture. This gives us the benefit of re- 
search work carried on by men who make it a 
life study and have no selfish interests at stake. 
“Hybrid Corn Treated” 
We treat our corn with a chemical compound. 
It controls seedling blight and root and stalk 
rots. This treatment increases germination and 
permits earlier planting. Buy Hy- 
brid that has been 
treated. 
An Outstanding Hybrid 
for Large Yields 
About 105 to 110 Day Corn 
This is one of our new Hybrids. It’s similar 
to Iowa 939, but has some improved features. 
In fact, it is made up of three of the same 1n- 
breds that go into lowa 939. However, one 1s 
different, making it a longer and better shaped 
ear. Has practically the same maturity as. the 
Towa 939. It really is a smooth looking ear, 
It’s the type of Corn that the big corn raisers 
admire, the appearance of ear. Has nice yel- 
low golden color, but sides of grains have a 
slight reddish cast. Not hard and flinty like 
some Hybrids. IS a fine feeding corn. Has 
Superior Hybrids 
The heavy yielding qualities of a good Hybrid Corn va- 
riety depends on the inbreds that are used to produce-it. You can plant 
the same variety of Hybrid Corn obtained from different growers and 
still get a difference in yield. When you order our Superior Hybrids, you get the 
factors of quality, explained above. Our Hybrids are produced from approved foundation stock. 
Most of the large hybrid concerns that get $8.50 to $9.50 bushel, sell corn that have inbred lines 
developed by State Agriculture Departments. We could charge $9.00 bushel, but that would not 
make our seed any better. Use our time tested Hybrids for bigg

Improved Hybrids 
For Bumper Yields 
There is a big difference’in Hybrids. They 
must prove by tests and yields that they are 
experimental stage. It requires expert knowl- 
edge and intense personal ‘supervision to pro- 
duce the best foundation stocks. “Better sin- 
gle crosses, purer inbreds, better detasseling, 
better drying and processing mean better: Im-

American’s 
A State Originated Hybrid 
of Medium Maturity 
It was originated by. the lowa+Hx- 
periment Station. Is widely*grown in 
that state. Also in Illinois, Indiana 
and Ohio, except in far northern part 
of these states. Is adapted for part 
of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and 
parts on east. Best Hybrid for a 
wide range territory. In THinois 
Towa 989 established yields in the 
north central part of the state of 107 
bushels per acre at one station. [t 
showed higher resistance against 
lodging in all tests. Has shown as 
high as 45% increase in yield over average 
open pollinated in central Iowa. 
Has nice shaped ears. Kernels have slight 
reddish cast on the side. Are broad and of 
good depth. A softer corn than most Hy- 
brids. Has strong stalks. More universally 
grown in Ohio than any other Hybrid. That 
shows the wide range of adaptability. We 
have many testimonials on Iowa 939. Try 
it this year and you will be a booster.
