More Funk G seed is being planted in Hoffman 
territory this year than ever before! For one big 
reason: more and more people are noticing that 
the planters of Funk G seed are the folks who 
are getting the best corn crops! There’s a sound 
basis for all of this fine success. It’s two-fold: 
first, the seed is bred right . . . and, it is 
PROVED RIGHT, in advance, for the particular 
area and conditions in which it is to be planted. 
Its user can DEPEND on it! 
No other corn organization equals the details 
of breeding, research, and proving, which back 
every Funk G strain planted thruout the east. 
No joking . . . you really can help up America’s 
supply of corn, planting your right Funk G Hy- 
brid seed-strain. It’s being done by others of your 
area, many others. No reason for you to realize 
less from your corn crop! And there’s nothing 
wrong with trying to make every acre we farm, 
pay us all it can!

To Replace any Damaged 
or Shortened Crop 
For hay in any such emergency, you might 
choose Sudan (next column) to help you out. 
Another popular choice is often Millet. Two 
strains, Japanese and Golden are in stock here. 
Soy Beans are often used successfully for such 
purposes. . 
For forage, Sorghum is very popular with many 
folks. Even in regular crop-planning. There has 
already been heavy sale of this item this year. 
For extra home-grown feed, there might be 
some extra acres put to Oats or Spring Barley. 
Buckwheat, sown late June or early July, helps 
out for many folks every year. ae,

-.- PLANT FUNK G HYBRID CORN 
Better-Corn "Satisfaction" ... Everywhere! 
“Largest and best crop I ever raised.” (N.Y.) 
“No disease or trouble of any kind.” (Conn.) 2 
“Stood up until late November. Very well pleased.” (Pa.) 
“Gets going in cold weather. Stands well in heavy storms. Grows 
extra tonnage on less acres.” (N.J.) 
“Nicest 29 acres of corn I ever saw ... farming 31 years.” (Pa.) 
“Stood drought best. Had high yield. To me there’s no other corn 
like Funk G.” (Md.) 
“No trace of corn borer. Charts say 9 acres should fill our silo. 
Our Funk G filled it from 4 acres.” (N.Y.) 
“Never had corn develop such ears. Does well on thin soil, won- 
derful where soil is good.” (Ohio) 
“My favorite through 8 years. Yields heavy fodder. Good ears. 
Withstands strong winds.” (Del.) 
“You are sure of corn to feed when you plant Funk G. With- 
stands wind, storms and drought.” (W. Va.) 
Which is your proper Funk G hybrid to plant? 
The correct information is here for you, awaiting 
your call. Gleaned from continuous records kept 
in detail every year since 1936. 
All you do to be started right on this important 
“Corn-Route No. 1” is to order the amount of 
seed you need. State if it is intended for husking 
or for ensilage. Fill in all the blank spaces at 
bottom of the order-sheet that came with your 
Hoffman Catalog. Of course, if you already know 
the number of the Funk-G hybrid your neighbor 
has used so successfully, order it by number, not 
bothering with the blanks. 
Seriously, you owe yourself every extra bushel 
of good sound corn your acres can produce. 
Every extra ton of as rich, nutritious ensilage as 
you can produce. No sense buying high-priced 
feed if you can grow it yourself! 
Make this your best-yet corn crop. Plant every 
corn-acre to Funk-G seed. It’s going to pay you! 
RYE GRASS 
Let us supply your Rye Grass seed. Have it on hand, ready to sow on 
every acre you plant to corn . . . at last cultivation. It provides the best- 
known winter protection to thousands of fields. Provides good topgrowth 
to turn under. Helps greatly to stop the loss of valuable topsoil by 
erosion. Hoffman seed is TOP quality. Northern U.S.-grown. Tests 99% 
and better in purity. 90% and more in germination. . 
SUDAN 
Used every year, for dependable cow-pasture through the hot summer , 
season, when regular other pastures so often stop growing. Sudan thrives 
in heat. Here are two strains . . . the newer Sweet Sudan planted by the 
majority of Hoffman customers today . . . and the regular-type Sudan, 
used for many years for successful relief of emergency hay and pasture 
situations. \
