DIXIE 18.- Yellow. 140 days. Flinty; superior 
shucks. Most prolific; ears placed low on very 
strong stalks. Outstanding in yield and resist- 
ance to weevil, lodging, and rotten grain in 
experiment istation tests from Coastal N. C. 
to Fla. For two years in 16 Ga. tests it aver- 
aged 13 bu. per acre more than Whatley's 
Prolific, was equal in weevil resistance, had 
26% more erect plants, and was most resist- 
ant to lodging. Best yellow Certified hybrid for 
2 years in N. C. Coastal tests. 
N. C. 27. 129 days. Most popular yellow, cer- 
tified hybrid recommended through the Cot- 
ton Belt where it has one of the best records 
for high yields in experiment station tests. It 
has excellent shuck and grain quality, is flinty 
and weevil resistant, has good stalk and root, 
earlier than Dixie 18 and is an ideal early feed 
corn to grow with it in the deep South. 
N. C. 26. 129 days. Yellow. N. C. recom- 
mends it for the Piedmont where many farmers 
prefer it to N. C. 27, as it is more disease re- 
sistant and prolific, usually 2 ears per stalk. 
N. C. 1032. 128 days. Yellow. Extremely 
strong, vigorous root and stalk, usually double 
eared. Big sound grain. Recommended in 
Ala., in N. C. Piedmont and Upper Coast, and 
for silage in N. C. mountains and in Va. 
DIXIE 17. 128 days. It has made record 
yields, and is recommended by experiment 
stations from Eastern Va. through the Cotton 
Belt. It averages 2 big ears per stalk that are 
so heavy the stalk sometimes is blown down be- 
fore harvest. Its broad, deep, sound grain is 
classed as white, but has a light copper color; 
cob is red. It has a good husk, but not tight 
enough to prevent weevil damage. It makes 
a beautiful vigorous growth with dark green 
color. Excellent for silage or hogging down.

SEEDSMEN SINCE 
CERTIFIED HYBRIDS 
We reject any field which fails to pass certified field inspection. When 
certified tags arrive they are attached to bags whether order requests it 
or not. Sometimes they do not arrive for many weeks after final inspec- 
tion and it is necessary to ship orders without them. However, orders 
specifying "'certified'’ will not be shipped until the tags arrive. 
Our hybrid drying and processing plants are most complete. We just 
installed several new machines to make our hybrid seed better than 
ever. Seed goes through 9 types of processing machinery, to eliminate 
all but desirable flat kernels of strong germination. Agricultural leaders, 
officials, and student groups frequently visit our plants and are amazed 
at the precision of our cleaning processes. We invite your visit. 
We TREAT all hybrid seed corn to protect it from weevil and insects, 
to hasten germination, prevent seedling blight, especially during cold 
damp spells, reduce disease, and increase stands 5% to 25%.

U. S. 262. 125 days. Yellow. Rapidly gaining 
in popularity. Made top yields in experiment 
station tests throughout Va. for 5 years. Va. 
recommends it for grain east of the mountains 
and for silage in Piedmont and mountains. 
Made high yields and is recommended in 
Eastern Md. Best U. S. hybrid in N. C. tests 
two years, out-yielding N. C. 27 and U. S. 282 
in Northern Coastal tests; was earlier, lower 
in moisture at harvest, and had few suckers. 
In N. C, Piedmont tests it averaged 5 bu. per 
acre more than U. S. 282, was more prolific, 
low in lodging and insect damage, with good 
grain quality. It has big uniform ears, deep 
sound grain, high shelling per cent, good husk, 
strong roots, stiff stalks, resists blight, stands up 
and is easy to harvest. 
U. S. 262A. 127 days. Almost identical to 
U. S. 262. Grain has darker golden color, 
better quality, more moisture, later, yields a 
bit more in Southern Va., has weaker roots and 
more lodging. We prefer U. S. 262. U. S. 357A 
has some relationship to U. S. 357. 
U. S. 357 and U. S. 357A. 126 days. Yellow. 
Va. recommends it east of the mountains where 
it is the most popular certified hybrid, is grown 
on more acres, has made more members to 
the 100 Bu. per acre Corn Club, and has a 
long record of high yields at experiment sta- 
tions, frequently over 100 bu. per acre. Va. 
recommends it for silage in Piedmont and 
mountains. A beauty in the field, big strong 
vigorous stalk and root, dark green foliage, 
large ears, good husk. An excellent full season 
feed corn, wide adaptation, but may. stalk 
break on high nitrogen soils. 
U. S. 357 yields bumper crops of big long 
ears with straight rows of broad deep sound 
grain, filling tip and’ butt. High shelling %. 
U. S. 99. 126 days. Similar to U. S. 357 but 
has larger, broader grain with deeper golden 
color; more vigorous foliage with deeper green 
color, broader leaves, and is better for silage. 
It has enormous ears that quickly fill cribs or 
enrich the feed value of silage. In Northeast 
N. C. tests it averaged 116.8 bu. per acre 2 
years; was early, low in moisture, ears placed 
low. V-50 was the only yellow corn to out-yield 
it. Made high yields in Eastern Va. tests.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
IND. 750. 
cob. High milling quality; highest average 
yield of any certified hybrid in all Va. tests for 
3 years, outyielded only by V-125. Va. recom- 
mends it instead of Ky. 203, which it out- 
yields, is earlier, has less moisture at harvest, 
ears placed much lower on shorter stalks, with 
120 days. Pure white grain and 
less lodged and broken. It stands long after 
ripe; ideal for mechanical harvesting. Husks 
easily. Resists smut, blight and stalk rot. Has 
big sound ears and grain, high shelling %. 
KY. 203. 124 days. Popular pure white milling 
corn. Has done better than Ind. 750 in tests in 
N, C., where it matures bumper crops early 
when milling corn is scarce, bringing big 
premiums. It has vigorous stalks, good roots, 
big sound ears, deep grain, high shelling %. 
KY. 72B. Similar to Ky. 203 but yielded far 
more in N. C. and Eastern Va. tests, had bet- 
ter shucks, higher grain quality, lower mois- 
ture in grain and 50% more stalks had 2 ears. 
Top milling quality. 
U.S. 13. 119 days. Yellow. Most popular cer- 
tified hybrid. Recommended throughout the 
Southern Mountain Area for its standability 
and top yields of excellent feed corn at experi- 
ment stations and on farms, winning many 
memberships in the 100 Bu. Corn Club. Ma- 
tures early, in time to plant fall grains. Good 
for early hogging down in Eastern Va. Has 
long beautiful sound ears, deep grain, high 
shelling per cent, excellent stalk and root, and 
loose shuck, ideal for mechanical harvest. Pop- 
ular in North for silage. 
ILL. 200 or KY. 103. 121 days. Early yellow. 
Va. recommends it for Piedmont and moun- 
tains. Similar to U. S. 13 with all its advan- 
tages, but slightly later, taller, better yield, 
sounder ear and deeper golden color. Ideal 
for mechanical harvest. Medium ear, husk, 
stover and height. Strong stalk and root.

Recommended for high altitudes in W. Va., 
Md., and North. Out-yielded U. S. 13 in Va. 
,tests at 3,300 ft., was much earlier and grain 
had less moisture. Good for hogging in the 
South. Ears low, short strong stalk. 
OHIO W-17. 115 days. Yellow. Very early.
