Hybrid CORNS for the South 
5 Important Reasons on Why to 
Plant Hybrid Corns 
1. GREATER YIELD—Hybrid Corns usually 
yield more bushels of corn per acre over open 
pollinated corns, year in and year out, wher- 
ever they are planted. 
2. EASIER HARVESTING — The uniform 
height of the ears of most Hybrid Corns makes 
them twice as easily harvested. No stooping, 
no scraping in the mud is required. There are 
virtually no down stalks, and the ears are all 
of the same level. 
3. STIFFER STALKS—When hard winds lay 
other corns flat, most Hybrid Corns stand firm 
and erect. The stalks are so much stiffer, the 
roots so much deeper that the problem of 
twisted and down corn is virtually eliminated. 
4. DEEPER ROOTS—The roots of some Hy- 
brid Corns have been known to go down eight 
feet. When drouth strikes they dig down for 
moisture and produce a crop where other 
corns fail. In normal years these deeper roots 
tap re supply of food that ordinary corns never 
reac : 
5. A SURER CROP—It costs less than $2.00 
per acre to plant our Hybrid Corns. For that 
nominal cost you get more bushels of corn per 
acre plus protection against wind, drouth, dis- 
ease and pests plus uniform ears of a distinct 
quality. 
DIXIE 11 HYBRID. (White). Developed by 
U. §S. Department of Agriculture in co- 
operation with the Mississippi Agriculture 
Experiment Station. This is a long white 
grain corn with a small cob, somewhat re- 
sembling College Mosby, and averaging 
two ears to the stalk, occasionally three and 
four. Especially adaptable to the Central 
half of Mississippi and Alabama, etc. It 
shows perfect shuck coverage, which very 
few hybrids have, no ends of ears pro- 
truding. There was practically no weevil 
damage last fall, a very important item. 
Planted May 5th, lodging was negligible 
until tail end of tropical storm from Florida 
did some damage. Yield from this 26 acre 
block was 121 bushels per acre, official 
figures. Harvesting began Sept. 15th. You 
will want some of this corn. 
Postpaid, 2 gal., $1.25; gal., $2.25, pk., $4.00 
DIXIE 17 HYBRID. (White.) A new white 
hybrid approved for certification in 1947. 
This hybrid is made up of two of the best 
Tennessee inbreds. It is slightly more re- 
sistant to lodging and the husk protection 
is slightly superior to that of Tennessee 
-Hybrid No. 10. It has out-yielded Ten- 
nessee Hybrid No. 10 in 21 out of 22 ex- 
periments over a two year period. This 
is a medium hard, pure white prolific, with 
a light red cob. The seed has a slight 
copperish color but produces a crop having 
pure white grain. Has fine adaptability in 
northern third of Mississippi and Alabama.

TENNESSEE PAYMASTER HYBRID No. 10. 
This hybrid is made by combining in- 
breds from the high yielding prolific open 
pollinated variety Neal Paymaster. Thus 
they are all more or less similar to Neal 
Paymaster in having white grain, red cob, 
prolificacy, and high shelling per cent. 
This hybrid is more uniform and lower 
eared than Neal Paymaster. 
couple. Y gal., $1.15; gal., $2.10; pk., 
U. S. YELLOW HYBRID No. 13. An excellent 
hybrid for heavy land and one of the widest 
used on the market. The plants are medium 
tall and bear large ears at medium height. 
Has a good yield record in a number of 
experiments. We recommend it.

SEMESAN JR. 
Seed treated with Semesan Jr. is pro- 
tected against many seedling diseases 
and seed decay which cause missing hills 
and hills with only one stalk. Fifty-one 
farm demonstrations in the Corn Belt 
showed that Semesan Jr. increased stands 
by 5% to 15%. 
114 oz. size, enough tf treat 1 bushel of 
seed corn. Postpaid, each, 20c. 
BASIC SLAG 
The Soil Conditioner 
and Builder 
In either making or improving a pasture, 
it is necessary to use a soil builder, con- 
ditioner or fertilizer to secure the most 
profitable results. Pasture soils deficient 
in the necessary food or minerals produce 
grazing low in the elements that build 
body tissue, beef, and increase the pro- 
duction of milk. 
A pasture may produce an abundance 
of grass and yet the stock will not thrive. 
This is usually because the grass is lack- 
ing in calcium, phosphoric acid and other 
minerals. Agricultural authorities and 
Southern farmers have found that an easy 
way to have a thick, healthy pasture 
grass rich in many minerals, is to use 
U. S. S. Tennessee Basic Slag. 
Stock raisers all over the South are 
rapidly realizing the importance of Basic 
“Slag for making pastures to produce qual- 
ity beef quickly, increase milk production, 
and reduce feed bills.

NATIONAL YELLOW HYBRID No. 134. The 
climax of a ten-year search for dual-purpose 
hybrid for both feeding and grain. Reid's 
Yellow Dent type kernel, soft textured 
enough to suit the most particular feeder, 
yet it has the excellent quality and high 
weight per bushel the grain farmer prefers. 
It has a beautiful plant with glossy dark 
green leaves. Resistant to hot winds and 
drought. Its stiff stalk and excellent root 
system give it a remarkable resistance to 
straw breaking and lodging. Under normal 
conditions ear is approximately 9 to 1l 
inches long and cylindrical in shape. Picks 
easy by hand or machine. Plant grows 
about 9 feet tall and is very dark green in 
color. It has an outstanding yield test 
record. 
Postpaid, % gal., $1.25; gal., $2.25; pk., 
$4.00. 
CROTOX 
Crotox insures seeds against attacks of 
crows, doves, blackbirds, larks, pheasants, 
starlings and other seed pulling birds and 
rodents, such as moles, squirrels, wood- 
chucks, during the germinating and root- 
ing period. 
14-pint can, treats 1 bushel of seed corn. 
Postpaid, 1% pt., 75c; 1 pt., $1.15; 1 qt., 
$1.95. 

3 REASONS WHY TO USE BASIC SLAG 
(1) Adds calcium, phosphoric acid and 
other minerals to the soil. 
(2) These elements, necessary for healthy, 
profitable stock, are present in a read- 
ily available and lasting form. 
(3) Increases growth of pastures 
lengthens the grazing season.
