A HYBRID CORN ADAPTED FOR THIS AREA 
STAR BRAND 808 HYBRID CORN. The ears of this corn are 
longer and larger than Missouri No. 8 and it has a wide adapt- 
ability for a variety of soils. It shells well, is resistant to 
chinch bugs and grasshoppers and matures in 118 to 120 days. 
It is recommended for all of South Missouri, average height of 
plants is 10 feet with an ear height of approximately 4 feet. 
Has a strong stalk strength and is adapted for soils of average 
fertility. Highly drought resistant. 
MISSOURI No. 8 HYBRID CORN. Has a larger and deeper 
root system which aids in obtaining moisture and to resist 
drouth. Its vigorous growth makes it more resistant to insect 
damage and diseases. It is less likely to be damaged by wind 
on account of the strong root system. Matures in about 110 
days and grain is less hard and flinty than some hybrids. 
STAR BRAND 606 HYBRID CORN. 110 to 115 day maturity. 
Plant height about 9144 feet with ear height about 4 feet. Deep 
grained, very strong stalk strength. Adapted to bottom land 
na soils of high fertility. Very highly resistant and high 
yielder. 
U. S. 13. Known to most farmers in this section. Produces 
strong stalks with a rapid growth, developing in about 120 days. 
Stands drouth well and is chinch bug resistant. Has a large 
single ear with a short shank. Kernels deep, large round and 
softer than some Hybrids. 
MISSOURI KING 77. 90 day hybrid corn. A good early hybrid 
that will compare in yield to later maturing varieties. May 
either be planted early or late. Is especially noted for its high 
yield, strong root and stalk system and uniform quality. Is 
adapted to both upland and bottom land soils. 
OPEN POLLINATED 
REID’S YELLOW DENT. Thoroughbred, pedigreed, carefully 
selected stock. It is of handsome shape and color and largely 
grown for exhibiting at fairs, and is used by many corn schools

South. Matures in 100 to 115 days. Pure white corn, red cob, 
medium small; grain extra deep, ear transparent white.

varieties of Yellow Dent Corn in the country. It matures in 
about 115 days. 
HICKORY KING. This is an entirely distinct variety among 
the white Corn, the largest grain, the smallest cob. It is a 
great yielder, makes most excellent hominy. 
NEAL’S PAYMASTER. 100-day corn. Is well suited for both 
lowland and upland. Produces a medium stalk with two good 
ears, broad white grains on a red cob, fills out well.

FARM and FIELD SEEDS 
ALFALFA. 60 pounds a bushel, sow 20 pounds per acre. Is a 
perennial legume and will produce more choice feed per acre 
than any other crop. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. 60 pounds a bushel, sow 20 to 25 pounds 
per acre, differing in type, having the lateral or branching root 
system in place of the usual main tap root of most alfalfas. 
ATLAS SORGO. Produces more grain and forage than any 
other sorghum. Many crops produce 10 to 20 tons per acre. 
The most popular of the grain sorghums. It is an enormous 
yielder of both forage and grain. The stalk and branches are 
both sweet and the grain is the most palatable of all the sor- 
ghum. It is the most valuable grain sorghum to grow because 
of its drought resisting qualities. 
B400 BARLEY. Matures earlier than Reno and stands better 
for the combine. It is more resistant to loose smut disease. 
A bearded type grain. 
WINTER BARLEY. Mo. Early Beardless. 48 pounds a bushel, 
sow 95 to 100 pounds per acre. It makes a quick growing crop 
of most excellent and nutritious feed either to use green or 
cure for hay. About ten days earlier than other Winter Barley. 
WINTER BEARDED BARLEY. 48 pounds a bushel, sow 95 to 
100 pounds per acre. <A very hardy variety and is used for 
heavy pasturing during the winter months, from which large 
yield of grain may be harvested: The best winter pasture 
variety. 
RENO BARLEY. A bearded barley equal or superior to other 
varieties in ability to withstand winter killing. Has a medium 
stiff straw and stands for the combine without excessive shat- 
tering. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL. A deep-rooted, long-lived perennial 
legume with erect growing type plants which attain a height 
of 12 to 30 inches. Adapted to most soils, it will often grow 
in soils too acid for most other legumes. Alone seed 4 to 5 
pounds per acre or 1 to 3 pounds in mixtures. 
KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS. 14 pounds a bushel, sow 20 to 30 
pounds per acre. The foundation of hardy lawns and a natural 
pasture grass. 
BROME GRASS or BROMUS INERMIS. 14 pounds a bushel, 
sow 20 pounds per acre. Noted for its drouth resisting qualities 
and is adapted to many soils. Big producer, makes good pas- 
ture. 
BUCKWHEAT. 52 pounds a bushel, sow 50 pounds per acre. 
There are two distinct varieties, Japanese and Silverhull. The 
Japanese variety is regarded earlier. They can be sown as 
Beene crop following Barley, Rye, Wheat and Oats. Good

acre. Grows in wet bottom land also on upland loamy soils, 
makes wonderful hay and pasture, sown with other grasses. 
ALYCE CLOVER. Produces twice as much hay and pasture 
as Lespedeza and is finer quality and higher feeding value. It 
is an annual legume and reseeds itself; is very drought resist- 
ant and will improve poor soils. Sow 15 or 20 lbs. per acre 
alone or may be used in permanent pasture mixtures. 
CRIMSON CLOVER. Sow 15 pounds per acre. Makes an ex- 
cellent green grazing crop during the winter and early spring.

come back year after year. The ‘‘hard’’ seeds which fall on 
the ground during harvest do not sprout until fall. Seed at rate 
of 12 to 18 pounds per acre.

is recommended in pasture mixtures, combining well with other 
crops. Height of plant about 6 to 8 inches. Use 2 to 3 pounds 
per acre in pasture mixtures. 
HUBAM CLOVER. 60 pounds a bushel, sow 20 to 25 pounds
