New Hybrids 
Improvement of present inbred lines, 
development and selection of new in- 
breds and combining different lines 
and crosses is the program of Hybrid 
Corn breeding. We have been produc- 
ing, processing and selling hybrid seed 
for more than ten years and have ar- 
ranged with corn breeders for seed 
stocks of many of the best, thoroughly 
tried, state and privately developed 
inbred lines and crosses. Several Scott 
Hybrids, in addition to those listed, 
will soon be available. As in the past, 
these will be of proven inbred lines 
that are adapted to areas and states 
where Scotts Farm Seeds are sold. 
While most of the corn acreage on 
any farm should be planted with hy- 
brids that have been grown before, a 
limited area can be given to one or 
more hybrids that from all reports and 
observations appear to be satisfactory. 
In growing a corn crop the statement 
“be not the first to try the new or yet 
the last to lay the old aside” might 
well be followed. 
CORN YIELDS 
Regardless of the hybrid or the seed 
selected, seventy-five bushel corn crops 
do not grow on fifty bushel corn land. 
Frequently soil fertility limits the 
yields. Fertilizer, manure, legume sods 
and good tillage practices will help 
build up soil fertility and replace the 
plant food used in crop production. 
Soil productivity also determines the 
rate of planting. For land capable of 
producing 40 to 50 bushels of corn per 
acre two kernels to the hill are sug- 
gested; for 60 to 70 bushel corn land, 
three kernels per hill, and for 80 bushel

corn land the average should be close to 
four kernels per hill. An average weight 
of about one-half pound per ear usually 
means highest yields of shelled corn 
per acre. 
Finally, earlier hybrids cannot be ex- 
pected to yield as much as those requir- 
ing a longer growing period to reach 
maturity. So for top yields on your 
farm select the latest hybrids that will 
safely mature and produce a sound 
crop of corn. 
Compared to the two other varieties I had, 
the Scotts 66 was so far ahead of them there 
was no comparison. The yield was high for 
the season, maturity was early and complete. 
It has proven tops for me. In my soil you 
cannot get a better variety—ELMER KRAU- 
TER, Bucyrus, Ohio. 
I planted the one-half bushel of your Scott 
22 hybrid Seed Corn on June 7 and am cer- 
tainly well pleased as it matured before frost 
and best I had. Will try some again this year. 
I have a hill farm and only plant about 2 
acres. Just can’t beat Scotts good seed. I al- 
ways recommend Scotts Seed to my friends.—

I should like to tell you that the seed corn 
I ordered from you last year was just what 
you recommended it to be. I found the corn 
to be very satisfactory. I raised more corn last 
year than I have for several years and I or- 
dered my corn from you this year through a 
neighbor.—W. M. JONES, Lex, W. Va. 
I have used your seed since 1932 for my- 
self and those for whom we worked in the 
community, and they have proven more than 
satisfactory —JAS. N. HOFFMAN, Route 1, 
Greensburg, Penna. 
I planted Scotts 66 last season. Best crop I 
ever raised. I had two acres—gathered 400 
bushels. I can highly recommend Scotts 66.—
