Piper is the new Sudan selected }5°° 
and introduced by the Wisconsin Ex- 
periment Station. It is absolutely the 
latest word in Sudan. Outstanding — per 100 Ibs. 
because it gives increased forage yields and has 
resistance to important diseases, plus low level of 
prussic acid in the plants (in comparison with 
other Sudans). Forage yields of Piper fully equal 
(often superior) to other Sudan strains. Extra- 
fast early growth because of high seedling vigor. 
Regrowth after pasturing has been good in tests. 
Piper Sudan is widely adapted for planting in- 
northern and central states. We offer you the 
finest quality, Blue Tag Certified seed. High in 
purity, color and germination. With the germina- 
tion of this seed, you can plant 20 to 25 lbs. per

TOP YIELDS 
in Any Kind of Weather 
Last fall, did you get dropped ears, barren 
stalks, borer damage, unfilled ears, reduced 
yield? If so, you should talk to a farmer who 
planted United-Hagie. He will tell you how 
he got good yield in spite of the dry year. 
Don't Plant "Fair Weather" Corn 
There are a lot of hybrids that will give 
you a good crop when weather and soil and 
moisture and everything is just right, But, 
as you know, you have to have hybrid seed 
that’s bred to ‘‘take it’? to get a good yield 
in a bad year—one that’s bred to withstand 
whatever disease, cold, drouth, excessive 
water, or winds, it may encounter. 
Read at the right some actual letters, typ- 
jieal of the many received from farmers who 
planted United-Hagie last year. They know 
it paid them to plant United-Hagie. Order 
yours, by mail, from Henry Field’s.

certainly proved itself in this drouthy 
year. 8 rows of United-Hagie equalled 10

“Planted 7 bushels of United-Hagie 47a 
and 52a. It produced 85.6 bushels of corn 
per acre in_spite of extremely drouthy 
conditions. The balance of my corn, an- 
other popular brand, produced only 50.3

really paid off this year.”,—Rex Denning, 
Ottumwa, Southeast, la. 
“My United-Hagie made 111 bushels 
per acre. When our County Agent 
checked this field he was surprised to see 
how well it was standing and how little

conditions, | think this was an excellent

This is an actual picture of some United- 
Hagie corn washed out by water to show the 
9-foot roots that really dig for food and mois-

produce deep roots like this, and is one of the
