MYSRID 

of MANY Companies Into This ONE GREAT HYBRID! 
United’s great unified research program is THE BIG NEWS in the hybrid corn world today. There have 
long been too many hybrids—some fair, some poor, some indifferent. The farmer was never sure just which 
was best for him. 
To improve this situation and make the BEST HYBRID POSSIBLE, United got MANY of the midwest 
hybrid producers to pool their best inbreds and research into ONE GREAT HYPRID. If one company had 
the best drought resistant inbreds these went into the pool. If one had the best northern, cold-resistant 
inbreds, these went into the pool. The result is the BEST OF ALL all together in the one great hybrid— 
UNITED. 
It’s just plain common sense, and already, farmers over the midwest have booked most of UNITED’S 
production. The balance will go to early buyers. Reserve your UNITED HYBRIDS as soon as you possibly can.

Blends for the 30, 40, 50 zones—Large & Medium by throwing pollen 
over long period. 
Blends are rapidly becoming most demanded of all 
hybrid. And UNITED’S famous blends are about tops 
available today. 
Everyone knows what happens to a single variety 
corn crop when a hot, dry spell hits it during tassel- 
ing. With pollen throwing only 3 or 4 days, the field 
is often badly fertilized. 
UNITED BLENDS PREVENT THAT DANGER. 
Being scientifically blended of many different adapted 
hybrids, they lengthen the pollen season to 20 to 25 
days, insuring a good set despite weather. 
Taken over a period of years, United blends will 
outproduce any single hybrid, including United’s, 
Year after year, blends make BIG crops despite the 
weather. Try at least a few bushels this year. 
Convince yourself.

This inbred stands up and takes it under
