to be northern-grown and thoroughly recleaned. 
Our germinaticn tests show 90 per cent or above, 
and we sell Seed Corn subject to your test. 
You may keep our Seed Corn ten days, test 
it any way you wish, and if it does not ‘‘make 
good,’ return it immediately and we will refund 
your money, paying the freight both ways, or 
refill your order. We use reasonable care in 
packing and sending out our Seed Corn, but as 
so many circumstances may arise over which we 
have no control, we do not guarantee, nor will 
we be responsible for the crop grown from any 
of our seeds,

Arasan has replaced Seme- 
san Jr. for the treatment of seed 
corn. Usually reduces losses 
from seed decay and damping- 
off. Two-way action: as a dis- 
infectant, generally destroys 
many surface seed-borne or- 
ganisms; as a protectant, gen- 
erally protects seed against 
soil-borne organisms, reducing 
seed decay. May be applied 
prior to, simultaneously with, 
or subsequent to the addition of 
Crow Repellent. 34 ounce 
treats 1 bushel of corn.

Let us never forget that the 
cultrvation of the earth is the 
most important labor of man. 
Unstable is the future of a 
country which has lost its taste 
for agriculture. If there 1s one 
lesson of history that is un- 
mistakable, it is that national 
strength lies very near the soil.

John Burton, Brookline, N. H., harvesting on August 25, West Branch Sweepstakes 
that was planted May 16 
Ten days earlier and much more desirable in every way than 
the old Sweepstakes Ensilage Corn. This variety is grown for us 
in Central Pennsylvania near Williamsport. The New York State 
College of Agriculture found it gave a large green tonnage and ma- 
tured early enough to qualify as an excellent silage variety. It ears 
15 feet on good soil, ears 8 to 12 inches in length, with 12 to 20 rows 
of kernels. Cob is usually large and rather well filled at the tip. 
The color of kernels varies from Red to White Cap Yellow Dent. 
We have been selecting for the red-kernel type and have thereby 
cut down materially on the percentage of white-cap yellow ears. 
heavily and matures earlier than most other varieties sold under 
the name of Sweepstakes. 
Our West Branch Sweepstakes is a blend, made by crossing 
Lancaster Sure Crop, White Cap Yellow Dent, and a red variety 
of the Bloody Butcher type. The plant ts a vigorous grower, 10 to 
16 
Some ears, however, have kernels with very light-colored caps and 
only a tinge of red on the sides of the kernels. Others are nearly red. 
Our West Branch Sweepstakes is the most popular open-pollin- 
ated ensilage variety in all sections of New York State, except at 
high elevations where an earlier sort is needed.
