Hybrid Seed Corn 
SAVE Up To *3.00 Per Bu.—PLANT THE BEST 
: Why Pay Agents 
Up To $3.00 Per Bushel Commission? 
MOST HYBRID SEED 
CORN COSTS TOO MUCH 
Why? Mainly because of the way 
it is sold. We all know that compe- 
tition for dealers has caused hybrid 
corn companies to bid up the deal- 
er’s commission until it’s reached a 
point that is almost ridiculous. You, 
the farmer, pay that $2.50 to $3.00 
extra on every bushel you buy 
through a dealer. 
Gurney’s believe a change in the 
method of marketing is due. That’s 
the main reason we’ve gone back to 
our old brand of hybrid corn, Gur- 
ney’s Golden Hybrids, so we can set 
our own price.

Many of you know what they did be+

No one believes in prices being too

Gurney’s Golden Hybrids are raised right here at Yankton. 
They are northern-type hybrids, adapted to conditions in this 
part of the country, and are hybrids that will adapt themselves 
\quickly to soil and climatic conditions. All Gurney’s Golden 
Hybrids are cold-resistant, farmer-type hybrids that are not 
hard and flinty. The ears hang on well in the fall but pick 
easily by hand or machine. Every bushel is treated with spe-

has been ‘Friendship Corn’?

been wasted by a succession of seed corn agents calling on

Originally agents were perhaps necessary to spread the 
hybrid corn gospel—now they’ve served their purpose.

In other words, if you live ina

about right—don’t take a chance 
that you are going to have an 
extra-long growing season and 
plant a 110 day corn. Occasion-

also bear in mind the fact that 
corn matures about five days 
earlier for each 100 miles it is

for each 100 miles you moye it
