5 Important Reasons on Why to 
Plant Hybrid Corns 
-1.. GREATER YJELD—Hybrid Corns usually 
yield more bushels of corn per acre over open 
pollinated corns, year in and year out, wher- 
ever they are planted. 
2. EASIER HARVESTING — The uniform 
height of the ears of most Hybrid Corns makes 
them twice as easily harvested. No stooping, 
no scraping in the mud is required. There are 
virtually no down stalks, and the ears are al] 
of the same level. 
3. STIFFER STALKS—When hard winds lay 
other corns flat, most Hybrid Corns stand firm 
and erect. The stalks are so much stiffer, the 
roots so much deeper that the problem of 
twisted and down corn is virtually eliminated. 
4. DEEPER ROOTS—tThe roots of some Hy- 
brid Corns have been known to go down eight 
feet. When drouth strikes they dig down for 
moisture and produce a crop where other 
corns fail. In normal years these deeper roots 
tap e supply of food that ordinary corns never 
reach. 
5. A SURER CROP—It costs less than $2.00 
per acre to plant our Hybrid Corns. For that 
nominal cost you get more bushels of corn per 
acre plus protection against wind, drouth, dis- 
ease and pests plus uniform ears of a distinct 
quality. 
NATIONAL YELLOW HYBRID NO. 129. Here 
is one of the biggest-eared hybrids ever 
produced. Typical ears average 11 to 12 
inches long and often run to 13 inches. It 
is adapted to our area, and is very popular 
in Northern Arkansas. Highly resistant to 
lodging and does not drop ears, picks easily 
by hand and also by machine. Well adapted 
for planting in late June or July.

MISSOURI NO. 8 YELLOW HYBRID. This is a 
well-dented, soft yellow corn preferred by 
feeders over the flinty hard type. It pro- 
duces many two-eared plants under favor- 
able conditions and is resistant to drouth, 
insects, and disease. It matures in 115 to 
120 days.

TENNESSEE PAYMASTER HYBRIDS Nos. 10, 14, 
15. These hybrids are made by combining 
inbreds from the high yielding prolific open 
pollinated variety Neal Paymaster. Thus 
they are all more or less similar to Neal 
Paymaster in having white grain, red cob, 
prolificacy, and high shelling per cent. 
These hybrids are more uniform and lower 
eared than Neal Paymaster.

U. S. YELLOW HYBRID No. 13. An excellent 
hybrid for heavy land and one of the widest 
used on the market. The plants are medium 
tall and bear large ears at medium height.

NATIONAL YELLOW HYBRID No. 134. The 
climax of a ten-year search for dual-purpose 
hybrid for both feeding and grain. Reid's 
Yellow Dent type kernel, soft textured 
enough to suit the most particular feeder, yet 
it has the excellent quality and high weight 
per bushel the grain farmer prefers. It has 
a beautiful plant with glossy dark green 
leaves. Resistant to hot winds and drought. 
Its stiff stalk and excellent root system give 
it a remarkable resistance to straw break- 
ing and lodging. Under normal conditions 
ear is approximately 9 to 11 inches long and 
cylindrical in shape. Picks easy by hand 
or machine. Plant grows about 9 feet tall 
and is very dark green in color. It has an 
outstanding yield test record.

ALFALFA MAKES EXCELLENT HAY 

INOCULATE THE SEED BY ALL MEANS 
Field tests have shown that better crops 
are harvested when Legume seeds are 
inoculated even when planted on fields 
where inoculated seeds of the same Le- 
gume crops had grown the previous year. 
Use NITRAGIN, the oldest and most widely 
used inoculator in America.

HOW « » WHEN 
How Much to Plant 
It is a pity that alfalfa won't grow on all 
soils for it furnishes more green forage, more 
pasture, and more dry hay per acre than any 
known variety of hay or grass. Alfalfa is 
really an aristocratic plant, for it must have 
a fertile, well-drained soil with some lime, 
phosphate and good inoculation. 
Alfalfa will not grow on acid soil. Sow on 
good loam or clay or medium sandy soils, pro- 
vided they are well drained to a depth of at 
least 4 feet. Avoid soil with a “hard-pan” 
close to the surface, for it prevents drainage. 
Avoid low spots where water stagnates or 
freezes—alfalfa cannot stand ‘’wet feet.’ Sow 
on a bed free of weeds—if possible, sow on 
land which has been in some cultivated crop. 
Plow previous fall if possible, or at least sev- 
eral weeks in advance of seeding. Then disc 
and harrow frequently to set the seed bed—a 
firm seed bed is desirable as it conserves 
moisture. 
Plant in March and April, September and 
October. May be sown with a grain drill with 
seeder attachment, with a special alfalfa drill, 
a wheelbarrow seeder or a hand seeder. 
Should be covered to bring it in contact with 
soil moisture. Sow 20 to 25 pounds of seed 
per acre. Many of the most successful growers 
sow 30 to 35 pounds.

ALFALFA Ranks tigh e 
OKLAHOMA ALFALFA 
The state of Oklahoma has a very varying 
climate—extreme cold in winter and intense 
heat in summer. Heavy rainfall is not un- 
common and extreme drouth is experienced 
almost annually. Because the plants are sub- 
jected to such weather adversities they are 
extremely hardy. For these reasons Oklahoma 
seed has proven perfectly adapted to this 
area, and since it affords three to five abun- 
dant cuttings a year it is rapidly replacing 
seed from other sources,

KANSAS ALFALFA 
Kansas is the next state north of Oklahoma 
and weather conditions under which Kansas 
Alfalfa is grown are the same or harder than 
Oklahoma Alfalfa faces—very cold winters 
and hot, dry summers. Kansas Alfalfa is favor- 
ably known all over the United States.

America and has proven entirely adapted to 
the South, producing heavy yields consistently ©
