Your Hay Crop 
In a few months you'll be on the job of harvesting this year’s hay. 
But in not many weeks, you'll be starting for your 1954 hay crop. 
Seeding time. Land preparation. Seed treatment. Important 
among all tasks . .. selecting the right seed for doing this hay job 
best! That’s where this book can help you, and greatly. 
Your Pastures 
It isn’t too early to appraise this situation carefully. Maybe new 
acres must be gotten into shape. Maybe reseeding or thickening 
present sods. Chemical treatments started early. Suggest your 
early as possible consultation with proper authorities to help you 
make decisions, lay plans, well in advance . . . it pays. Where 
new seed is required—may we assist you? 
Your Oats or Other Grains 
No question on the wisdom of growing every bushel possible, 
right on the home farm. Adds up to greater independence, less 
cost, better profit! These pages give a number of suggested 
strains . . . every one with proven ability. And at reasonable cost. 
Your Emergency Crops 
Too early, generally, to know much about such needs. Unless 
some shortage of last year has brought about a situation you 
already know about. And should 1953’s crop of this or that, not 
prove ample for your needs . . . reference to the latter pages of 
this book might serve a very good purpose—later on. Keep it 
handy. 
Your Corn Crop 
There is great delight here to discuss this matter with you. For 
so great has been the progress along this line. For ensilage pur- 
poses ... as well as on husking corn. We've gone through 16 
straight years of vigorous, costly effort, toward seeing = 
that the right corn strain is used at the proper loca- 
tion .. . to take the place of strains that don’t do a 
good crop job. Amazing have been the results. . . 
and our greatest return is the fine way folks report 
their satisfaction (more of them each year) . .. their 
better corn crops than they used to think possible. 
If you don’t have a copy of the Hoffman Funk G 
corn book handy (pictured right), may we send you 
another? And, of course, we'll gladly include extra 
copies for your neighbor or relative. There’s nothing 
better than sharing good things. And that is our 
sincere effort in this—as well as these other farm-crop 
seed endeavors. Just call, please . .. let us be of | 
service to you, this year.
