Hybrid Seed Corn come from cus-

75 tomers who haye planted our Hi- 
b 3 Yield Blends. Hundreds of our 
customers who have been planting 
BU. this type corn realize the importance 
‘ of blending two or more varieties 
Medium Early or together. We use types of similar 
Medium Late Blends maturity class in making these 
blends. For instance, a blend of a 
medium early number combined with a medium maturing Hybrid will 
produce a longer pollination period than if used separately. Now, 
this long pollination period is highly essential, especially during 
periods of extended dry, hot weather. The ordinary pollination 
period on many hybrids only lasts for a few days and if tempera- 
tures in excess of 90 degrees persist for over 7 hours each day, most 
of the pollen will be killed. If we can produce pollen for a Jonger 
period of time than the usual four or five days, we stand a much 
better chance of getting a good erop of corn. In Blending two or 
three different numbers together, we pretty well. solved this problem. 
In Kansas the State Experiment Stations recommend planting two 
different maturing hybrids side by side. Their plan is to plant 
a different number in each planter box in order to get an extended 
pollination period. They realize the importance of this method, be- 
cause hot, dry winds often prevail during the time when most of the 
corn is tasseling . greatly increased yields haye resulted from 
following this plan in that state. 
We have our Hi-Yield Blends available in two blends—early and 
medium late. Please specify which blend you prefer. We offer 
these blends in long and regular rounds only. Our price on these 
blends is unbelievably low. We are actually giving you larger yields 
for less money. Sold under our Money Back Guarantee, Try one

Hybrids for ensilage are available in long and regular round grades 
only. The round grades of corn actually contain more plant food and 
will produce a stronger sprout than many of the flat grades. The 
additional plant food available in round grades give the sprouts and 
young plants a running start. Strong, vigorous plants are half the 
battle in getting a good stand of corn. Every pound of seed that 
goes into our Ensilage blends will germinate just as high as the 
higher priced numbers. We know that it will do the job. Hundreds 
of our satisfied customers will testify to this. We know that you 
will be more than. satisfied with our Ensilage or Hi-Yield blends and 
at the same time you save as much as $5.00 per bushel. 
Last year we sold a lot of this corn to our customers in Michigan 
and Wisconsin. Dairy farmers in those states raise a lot of corn 
for silage. Many of them report extra heavy yields from our Ensilage 
blends. The extra yields and higher feeding value will more than 
pay for the seed. Get started on these great blends this year,

Gentlemen: I am favorable to your seed for two 
reasons, first on account of the big savings and 
price on the high grade field seeds, and second the 
purity seems to be unexcelled by any other that I 
have ever bought. Other farmers here have used 
your seed with excellent results.
