Throughout The Corn Belt | 
IMPROVED HYBRID SEED CORN 
Improvement in Hybrid Seed Corn breeding has developed in the last few years 
by leaps and bounds. Recognizing the importance of offering only those num- 
bers that have shown outstanding leadership, we have, after a thorough mves- 
tigation decided to offer to our customers this year 6 outstanding numbers, which 
we recommend unhesitatingly for the localities mentioned in the descriptions be- 
low. 
: Yellow Hybrids 
1276Y LOWE IMPROVED HYBRID 510 (An Early Yellow That Yields BIG)

deep-rooted. Does well on thinner ground. Makes “Grand Champion” yields on fertile soil.

area’s own yellow corns. Makes a fat, stocky ear on an extremely leafy, dark green plant. 
Carries ears at medium height. Stands well, picks easy, makes good quality grain. A rather 
slow dryer. 
1309 FUNK'S G-114—HYBRID (Tops the List for North Central Corn Belt) 
Some people call it “intestinal fortitude.” Others call it simply “guts.” Anyway, in G-114, 
it’s the ability to stand up against the beating that the North Central Corn Belt often hands 
out in weather and in insect attacks. Against cold spring dampness. ... Against scorching 
summer drouth. ... Against blasting wind. ... Against corn borers and other insect enemies, 
G-114 comes through, Even when harvest is log delayed, G-114 stands, firmly erect. In Iowa 
4-year tests, its percentage of lodging was lowest (2.9%) of any strain entered. And it yields 
with the best. G-114 foliage stays green after the ear starts to mature, making the extra starch 
necessary to finish both a heavy ear anda strong stalk,

~2 Great Perennial Legume Crops! 
That All Farmers Should Sow and Be Assured of Excellent 
Pasture Throughout the Summer Months. 
Seed Supply is Limited—So Order Early. 
1200 Broadleaf Birdsfoot Trefoil 
A long life, deep rooted legume that will 
grow on poor or rich soil. Will grow on light 
sandy and gravelly soils, as well as heavy clay 
and will stand a modcrate amount of alkali, 
‘Provides the finest fecd when most other pas- 
ture grasses and clovers are dormant. Plants 
grow stems 12 to 30 inches long. Has a deep 
tap root with many branches, Crop resembles 
fine stemmed Alfalfa, and is high in mineral 
and protein content. Sow 5 lbs. per acre alone. 
However, we recommend sowing 2 Ibs. in mix- 
‘tures of other grasses such as Timothy, Blue 
Grass, Orchard Grass, or Brome Grass. If 
sown alone it has a tendency to mat. Shal- 
low sowing, 4 to % inch no deeper, in well 
_ prepared seed bed is essential. Y2 Ib. $1.00;

1234 Ladino Clover 
Ladino Clover is a perennial form of Giant 
White Dutch Clover which spreads by surface 
runners that root at the joints. The main 
branch of the runners lie flat on the ground, 
but the leafy stalks which produce the foliage 
grow from 15 to 24 inches tall and the leaves 
resemble in size and shape those of Red 
Clover. Excellent for pastures, and should not 
be sown alone except for seed purposes. Ex- 
cellent for lowlands that are not wet, and for 
pasture recommend a mixture of 2 Ibs. of 
Ladino, 3 lbs. Medium Red Clover and 8 lbs. of 
Brome Grass. On upland 1 Ib. of Ladino 
Clover mixed with 8 lbs. of Alfalfa, 3 lbs. Red 
Clover and 8 Ibs. Brome Grass will give you a
