ENSILAGE CORN 
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 Agricul- 
ture found it gave a large green tonnage and matured 
early enough to qualify as an excellent silage variety. 
It 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 
is a vigorous grower, 10 to 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. Some ears, however, have ker- 
nels 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-pollinated ensilage variety in all sections of New 
York State, except at high elevations where an earlier 
sort 1s needed. 
ARASAN

PEANUTS, VEGETA 
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.

Near the Soil 
“Let us never forget that the 
cultivation of the earth is the 
most important labor of man. 
Unstable is the future of a coun- 
try which has lost its taste for 
agriculture. If there is one les- 
son of history that is unmis- 
takable, it is that national 
strength lies very near the soil.” 
—Daniel Webster 
We guarantee every bushel of our Seed Corn 
to be northern-grown and thoroughly recleaned. 
Our germination 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 
your money, paying the freight both ways, or refill 
your order. We use reasonable care in pack.ng 
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 re- 
sponsible for the crop grown from any of our seeds.
