It's Sensational 
ExTRA If you could only hear the enthusiastic reports from farm- 
ers who have grown this great Hybrid we wouldn't have to 
fH say a word about it. The big long ears, the deep golden 
174 kernels, the large strong stalks, the fine feeding qualities and 
the tremendous yields are the things they talk about. Many 
of these farmers grew more than one Hybrid and to date we 
f é have found none who reported he had anything that yielded 
as much as our 813. 
Read About the “Stout Test” 
We wish you could have been here and seen the great seed 
field in the Harry Stout Farm. Would like to have had you 
help harvest those 295 acres checked, and wateh the great 
big ears of Berry’s 813 being weighed in at 80 pounds to the 
bushel, for the amazing total of over 151.9 bushels to the 
acre.

Pictures of a Great Event 
These pictures show a portion of a field 
of our 813 Seed Fields that made history 
in Page County, Iowa. It also shows the 
men who worked in harvesting this field. 

190.36 Bu. Per Acre on One>Test 

In .test plantings we have the following reports on ‘‘wit- 
The man on the right in the corn field is nessed" yields, 190.36 bu. per acre at 15% moisture, An- 
Harry Stout of Clarinda who owns_and ” drew K. Hovden, Decorah, Iowa; 146.57 bu. U. S. Newcom- 
works the farm producing this crop. Harry A ber, Auburn, Indiana; 146.57 bu. from Green City, Iowa, 
137.28 bu., Calmar, Iowa; 131.64 bu., Lakewood, IMlinois. 
These records of yields indicate the wide adaptability of 
Berry’s 813 and show the enormous capacity of this variety 
to yield. It is far the best for main crop. 
A Wonderful Pedigree 
Berry’s 813 has everything that U. S. 13 ever had plus a 
lot more. Extra later pollinating Inbreds have been incor- 
porated. Our purpose is to provide additional pollen to 
assure fertilization of the ears in event the main pollen crop 
shall be burned by excessively high temperatures. 
Thus there is provided an extra assurance of better filled 
ears. This also has a tendency to lengthen the ears and it 
appears to reduce ear droppage. 
’ You occasionally hear of 150 bushel 
yields but they are on fields that are heavily fertilized and not handled like 
average corn crops. Harry didn’t use a pound of fertilizer. He planted it a little 
thicker than normal but he got extra’ big ears. The man on the picker said it was 
almost like picking cordwood. Harry had 77 acres in the field, it was all good. 
He had a_section of the field measured accurately, and weighed the corn carefully. 
He got 450 bu. and 50 Ibs. of Berry’s 813 from exactly 2.95 acres. 
If you think we're bragging you should listen to Harry tell about it. After 
all it’s the man who grows it who should be satisfied. That man is you. If you 
live where you ean grow U.S. 13 or any 115 to 120 day Hybrid by all means 
grow some Berry’s 813 and see what it will do. Compare it with any other you 
can buy at any price. You'll find you have something sensational in this variety.

“My Friends Thanked Me” 
Dear Friends: I have been doing you a lot of good in regard to your seed 
corn and can truthfully say that I enjoyed it very much when farmers came to 
me and said, “Well, Henry, you told me the truth. Berry’s 813 is the best.” 
I could have sold hundreds of bushels in the last two years had I not been so 
busy. Farmers around here were slow about trying something new. But today 
the picture has changed. They've seen what Berry’s 813 will do. 
Henry Wilde, St. Elizabeth, Mo. 

Character of Berry's 813 
One large ear per stalk. Easy to husk by hand or machine. 
Deep grains of high feeding value. Enough soft starch so 
livestock will eat it readily but not a real starchy kernel. 
Dark green foliage. Husks dry before stalk matures, Strong 
stalks. A vigorous grower. An exceptional drought re- 
sistor. Resistant to chinch bugs and disease. High shelling 
percentage. A fine feeding corn. A longer pollinating period 
assuring better filled ears under adverse conditions. Adapted 
to a wide range of soils and suitable wherever U. S. 13 can 
“My 813 Largest in the Neighborhood” 
Dear Mr. Sinn: This is our third year in ordering seeds and corn Hybrids from 
you. So far have been very well pleased. Had some Berry’s 813 Hybrid corn 
that was the largest in the neighborhood. 405 has been a sure thing and am 
ordering it for the third year. Am trying your medium Blends this year.
