MASTER F-101-A 
For Zones G & H 
Here’s the corn that really 
makes the neighbors look twice! 
Mammoth, showy ears averag- 
ing 10 inches and longer, are 
acked tight to the tip with heavy, golden yellow 
ernels of high feeding quality. It's truly a show- 
type ear with exceptional eye appeal for Minne- 
sota production and resistance to ear-drop. 
Our Southern Minnesota customers praise it 
above all others. Don Remund of Waseca County 
reports he will grow nothing but F-101A, He har- 
vested 115 bushels per acre and also filled his 
silo from the same hybrid. It produced 91.6 bu. 
per acre over a 2 year average in our trials and 
90.4 bu. per acre in official 1948 South Dakota 
Trials (Hanson County). In Official Iowa State 
Tests (Northern Section), F-101A earned a Perform- 
ance Score of 103.5*. 
Four year averages show no smut, plant height 
98 inches, ear height 42 inches, 18 rows, no 
broken plants, ear length 9¥4 to 10% inches. 
. Features: beautiful field appearance, big attrac- 
tive ears, improved standability, excellent seed- 
ling vigor, quick drying-and superior keeping 
qualities, as well as ease of mechanical harvest. 
MASTER F-106-A 
IDEAL HYBRID SILO CORN 
The Northern Corn Belt's 
Greatest Silo Filler! 
For Zones G & H 
Farmers in Southern Zones of Minnesota, Wis- 
consin, and similar areas, claim that F-106A can- 
not be surpassed in yields of dry shelled corn, or 
for silo and bin filling. 
Yields in our trials averaged 100.7 bu. per acre 
over several years (108.8 bu. in 1946). Official 
1948 Michigan State Trials (Monroe County) show 
a yield of 98.1 bu. per acre with Performance 
Score of 102.78. Ears average 10 inches long with 
14 to 18 rows on a thin cob. Plant height, 95 
inches; ear height, 40 inches; foliage, extremely 
heavy and dark green, strong standing ability. 
Averages 15 tons of quality silage per acre, 
rich in carotene, source of Vitamin A. Harvest 
silage at the medium dent stage, while most of 
the plants are still reasonably green and succu- 
lent, for greatest dry weight. Delay beyond this 
time results in heavy losses of carotene without 
much increase in total yield of silage. F-106A is 
splendid for silage in most Central and Southern 
zones—figuring maturity at 10 days later than for 
grain production.

F. 8. & N. Co., November, 1949 
Am ordering my seed corn for another year. 
Had a very good crop, and feel your corn can’t 
be beat here in North Dakota. My Master F-60A 
made 50 bushels to the acre,

SORGHUM CANE 

MINNESOTA ORANGE SORGHUM 
An early strain selected from Waconia. Orange, 
grown in Southern and South Central Minnesota 
for many years. Grows heavier but shorter stalks 
than Amber Cane and withstands storms and wet 
weather without lodging. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per 
acre for syrup. An excellent sweet stalk sorgo, 
that produces 5 to 10 tons of quality cane per acre, 
and 25 to 40 bushels of seed per acre. Over 200 
gallons of delicious, golden yellow syrup from 
one acre! This sorghum syrup is preferred by 
consumers because it’s lighter in color. Prices 
5 Ibs. $1.25, postpaid. (See Price List.) 
FODDER CAN —E —(Southern Grown.) 
A profitable feed crop producing as much as 30 
to 35 tons green feed per acre. It makes good 
hay if cut before it grows too high. It matures 
later than Early Amber Cane. Sow 50 to 60 lbs. 
broadcast or 12 to 15 lbs. in drills per acre. 
(See Blue Figure Price List.)
