The U.S.A. Corn Crop— 1947 
The outlook for Uncle Sam’s corn crop for this year 
is among the worst on record. Very late plantings, 
coupled with serious shortages of rain in recent summer 
months, forecast a shortening of the estimated corn- 
supply by many millions of bushels. 
Most of the country’s hybrid seed-producing areas 
are located in the mid-western corn-belt. That vital area 
has been hit hard. No doubt about it, the hybrid seed 
supply will be crippled seriously. But there is some 
good news, too! 
Important Good News 
Here in these Hoffman Funk G seed-producing areas 
of the east—there is nice seed in the making! And the 
outlook is good! You can be supplied. .. . PROVIDED 
you engage your seed NOW! That’s why this message 
comes to you at this time—and why, this year, it really is 
important to you to speak for your seed right away. 
Heavy demands from all sides could quickly consume 
the supply of eastern-grown seed .... and the central-west 
just can’t be depended on this year, to help out late. 
: buyers—like sometimes in the past.
