: “Grand Champion” 
* Birehard Isaac, Osage, Iowa, sends me 
MRE picture of his Grand ‘Champion Baby 
Beef of the 1948 Mitchell County Iowa 
Fair. Birchard says, “I fed ‘Knight’ on 
J United Hybrid; he gained 2.8 lbs. per day 
- from Jan. 1 to Aug. 26, weighed 1090 
a My father and I both like United 
est.”’ 

A New Legume Planting Method 
Here’s an idea I felt I should pass on to 
you. The new Bond crosses of oats such 
as Clinton, Cherokee, Mindo, etec., have 
heavy foliage and shade the ground more 
than old fashioned oat varieties. 
That is why we recommend you try the 
new wide spacing when planting oats as a 
nurse crop for legumes. Stop up every 
other hole in your grain drill, then block 
the alternate holes in the clover seeding 
attachment on the drill. This will allow 
the drill to seed alternate rows of oats 
and clover. It works equally as well with 
Alfalfa, Red Clover, Sweet Clover, Hubam 
or Alsike. If you follow this practice you 
will still get a good crop of oats and you 
will have a stand of legumes left too. Try 
it. oe 

In a Field of Reed Canary 
“Dear Henry: I’m enclosing a picture 
of myself taken in my field of Reed Ca- 
. ~ nary Grassin June. Bought the seed from 
you. Lam 5% ft. tall. Note how much 
taller it is than I am.’’—Frank Florer, 
1408 Locust St., West Des» Moines, Iowa. 



Best Oats in the Neighborhood 
I had the best crop in the 

“Dear Henry: 
neighborhood from the Clinton Oat seed that: 
i got from you last spring. I got 88% bu. 
per acre.’—H. J. Stritzman, Rt. 1, Apple 
Creek, Ohio. 
‘Don’t sow seed indoors too early. If plants 
grow too big: before it is safe to set them 
in the garden, growth will be checked. 
United—Big Ears 
“Dear Mr. Field: Planted some of your 
United Hybrid this year and it has certainly 
done fine. Sure grows big ears of corn.”— 
Alma T. Smith, Gladden, Missouri. 

Dogs and Evergreens 
That Dogs-Za-Way we tell about on 
page 10 of the catalog really keeps the 
dogs away from your evergreens, or any- 
thing else. Dogs just can’t stand the 
smell of it. 
But don’t put it directly on the tree or 
plant. Just on the ground around it. 
That way it will keep the dogs away and 
not hurt the plant. 
A tip: Just put a little Dogs-Za-Way 
on that piece of furniture and the dog 
will stay off it. 

UNITED HYBRIDS Give You More Corn Profit 
by Henry Field 
Like I’ve said before, a lot of different 
hybrid corn producers pooled their re- 
search, inbreds and production into one 
great hybrid—United—and the result is 
a great hybrid, better 
than any one company 
could have produced. 
That’s why I’m 100% for 
United, and glad to be a 
part of it. 
New Seed Treatment 
I mean ‘‘Kernel- 
Koated,”’ United’s exclu- 
sive seed treatment. We 
have had it before, but 
now it not only protects 
the seed in the ground, 
but extra ingredients (1) 
stimulate growth of feeder 
roots and (2) assure ear- 

Seedling at left with 
old seed treatment. 
One at right with 
NEW Kernel - Koat- 
ing with Root- 
Booster and Seedling 
Starter. 
lier germination and 
emergence. You culti- 
vate 3 days earlier. 
Kernel-Koated alone 
can mean up to 15 bu. 
per acre extra yield.
