HYBRID SEED CORN 
Hybrid Corn has definitely proven itself to be superior 
to open-pollinated corn in vigor, resistance to disease, 
ability to withstand adverse conditions, strength of stalk 
and in yield. 
This superiority is evidenced by the fact that about 90 
per cent of the corn now planted in the corn belt is Hy- 
brid seed. If you will compare present corn yields per 
acre with those of fifteen years ago you will quickly see 
the reason for the extreme popularity of Hybrid seed corn. 
Results count. 
There are a great many types and varieties of Hybrid 
seed corn. Many are especially adapted to certain locali- 
ties and certain conditions.

Missouri and Oklahoma. Large, heavy yellow ears. 
Has a strong stalk with a deep root system. Is heat, 
drought and insect resistant. Does very well on average 
soil. 
K-1784 A new, sturdy, yellow hybrid with maturity 
similar to U. S. 13. In Co-operative tests conducted 
in northeast Kansas, K-1784 ranked first in yield. Has 
a stiff stalk, holds its ears well and produces top qual- 
ity corn. Has a wide range of adaptation and can be 
grown successfully in areas where U. S. 13 has been 
grown in the past. 
K-1639 Another dependable new yellow hybrid with a 
slightly earlier maturity than U. S. 13. It has perform- 
ed particularly well wherever tested in Kansas. It pro- 
duces a shorter plant than U. S. 13 with ears set some- 
what lower. Holds it ears well and promises to be a 
good hybrid for mechanical picking. U. S. No. 13 
OPEN POLLINATED SEED CORN 
For those who prefer open pollinated seed corn we grow those varieties which have done so well in this part of 
the country. Our seed corn is selected in the ear, tipped, butted, shelled and cleaned. Our seed corn, as all of:our

TREAT YOUR SEED CORN WITH ARASAN OR SEMESAN JR.
