VOLUNTEER 
STATE HYBRID 
SEED CORN 
FOR A BETTER YIELD 
DIXIE 22 HYBRID. (Yellow.) This is a new 
hybrid that was approved for certification 
for the first time in 1949. On the basis of 
a three year test this hybrid has, on an 
average, outyielded all other yellow hy- 
brids. In 15 tests in Tennessee its yield 
was on an average of 78.2 as compared 
with 83.6 for Dixie 17 and 74.6 for Tennes- 
see 602. Its husk rating and percentage of 
erect plants are slightly better than either 
Dixie 17 or Tennessee 602. This is a full- 
seasoned, semi-prolific hybrid. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.45: pk. $4.20; V2 bu. $7.70. 
DIXIE 33 HYBRID. (White.) A new full sea- 
son white hybrid developed by the Tennes- 
see Agriculture Experiment Station in offi- 
cial yield trials gave outstanding perform- 
ance justifying its approval for certification. 
Stands up well, picks well, has a good husk 
for extra protection against insect and 
weather damage. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.45; pk. $4.20: 1% bu. $7.70. 
DIXIE 17 HYBRID. (White.) A new white hy- 
brid approved for certification in 1947. This 
hybrid is made up of two of the best Ten- 
nessee inbreds. It is slightly more re- 
sistant to lodging and the husk protection 
is slightly superior to that of Tennessee 
Hybrid No. 10. It has out-yielded Tennes- 
see Hybrid No. 10 in 21 out of 22 experi- 
ments over a two year period. This is a 
medium hard, pure white prolific, with a 
light red cob. The seed has a slight cop- 
perish color but produces a crop having 
pure white grain. Has fine adaptability in 
northern third of Mississippi and Alabama. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.15: pk. $4.20; 1 bu. $7.70. 
TENNESSEE NO. 10 HYBRID. (White.) This 
hybrid is made by combining inbreds from 
the high yielding prolific open pollinated 
variety Neal Paymaster. Thus they are all 
more or less similar to Neal Paymaster in 
having white grain, red cob, prolificacy, 
and high shelling per cent. This hybrid is 
more uniform and lower eared than Neal 
Paymaster. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.45; pk. $4.20: 1% bu. $7.70. 
DIXIE 18 HYBRID. (Yellow.) Developed for 
planting in the lower third of the Gulf 
States where weevils are very bad. It is 
so much more resistant to weevils than the 
other Dixie varieties. Dixie 18 is very 
popular in the lower South because it has 
been paying well there. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.45; pk. $4.20; 2 bu. $7.70.

COKER'S 911 HYBRID 
COKER’S 911 HYBRID. (White.) A Southern 
Corn for Southern farmers bred by Coker 
Pedigreed Seed Farms, breeders for fifty 
years. Made outstanding yield record 
throughout the South when tested in 1952. 
It has just about the best root and stalk 
strength of any Southern Hybrid—ideal for 
farmer who does not harvest his corn until 
late fall. Ideal for mechanical picking, 
well attached ears, resistant to shattering. 
Plants are medium short and very sturdy, 
leaves broad dark green, high degree of 
resistance to leaf blight. Ears medium low, 
turn down at maturity, preventing weather 
damage. Grain white, dented, medium 
hard texture, weevil resistant. Maturity 
medium. Two-eared under normal growing 
conditions. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.55; pk. $4.35; 4 bu. $8.20.

McMULLIN CROST-RITE CERTIFIED HYBRIDS 
We are distributing McMullin ‘’Crost-Rite’’ Certified Hybrids because not only do they meet 
the requirements of our farmers and planters, but also because they are produced in the 
latitude in Southeast Missouri where soil and climatic conditions are very similar to those in 
the territory we serve. We believe our McMullin ‘‘CROST-RITE”’ CERTIFIED HYBRIDS meet 
every requirement as regards soil, latitude, climate, rainfall and altitude in the Central Mid- 
South and near Southwest ‘HIGH TURNOUT."’ One of the splendid profit making qualities 
of McMULLIN “CROST-RITE” CERTIFIED HYBRIDS is their high percentage of turnout. Often 
tests run from 85 to 88%, which means that a bushel of dry ears weighing 70 pounds yields 
from 59 to 61 pounds of shelled corn. Their solid, well-filled, cylindrical ears with deep grains 
and small cob bring this about. 
McMULLIN “CROST-RITE” U. S. 523. (White.) 
This has become one of the most outstand- 
ing varieties in the Mid-South, not only be- 
cause of its top Experiment Station yields of 
over 100 bushels per acre and equally good 
performance for thousands of farmers in 
the several states we serve, but also be- 
cause it is an especially good milling corn 
and commands the top price and premium 
at the market. It is a full season, prolific 
hybrid, deep rooted and strong stalked so 
that it stands well, has excellent shuck 
coverage insuring the minimum of weevil 
damage. Ear height of about three and 
one-half feet means it is extra good for 
mechanical harvesting. If you produce for 
market this is the hybrid to plant. Whether 
our land is rich or poor, 523 white will 
live up to its opportunity. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.25: pk. $3.85: I bu. $7.20. 
McMULLIN “CROST-RITE’” MISSOURI 313. 
(Yellow.) Produces better filled ears. Mis- 
souri 313 is an improved U. S. 13. It has 
all the good qualities of the old, well- 
known standby, plus the advantages of 
increased pollen production and _ conse- 
quently better filled ears. The breeders 
have introduced into it a new blood line 
which corrects the tendency to ear shed- 
ding which makes it tops for mechanical 
harvesting. Missouri No. 313 produces a 
single, large, uniform, well covered ear, 
stands up particularly well because of its 
deep roots and strong stalks and is highly 
resistant to insects, disease, heat and 
drought. 
It matures in about 110 days, is medium 
soft (high starch content grains). Has 
turned down ear that dries out and harvests 
early with minimum moisture. We recom- 
mend it especially for soils with a high 
fertility level. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.15: pk. $3.60: 2 bu. $6.70. 
McMULLIN “CROST-RITE’” MISSOURI 148. 
(Yellow.) Today’s most outstanding Hybrid. 
It has everything. We believe this to be 
today’s most outstanding hybrid and that 
it contains the four best inbreds known, 
hybridized in the best possible combination. 
It is medium in maturity (about 115 days), 
and produces on the average somewhat 
more than a single, well covered ear which 
turns down as it matures and ripens while 
the stalk is still green, thus getting the full 
benefit of all the growth the plant can 
make. In long distance performance it is 
seldom equalled, holding five year produc- 
tion records in many states. It is soft and 
therefore feedable and is adapted for either 
hand or machine picking. MISSOURI No. 148 
probably has the widest range of adapti- 
bility as to climate, latitude, altitude and 
soil of any hybrid adapted to the central 
Mid-South and near Southwest. The plants 
are medium in size, have strong vitality, 
are remarkably efficient in plant food as- 
similation, are able to live up to their op- 
portunity on either rich or poor land. MIS- 
SOURI No. 148 IS OUR MOST POPULAR 
HYBRID. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.15: pk. $3.60: 14 bu. $6.70. 
McMULLIN “‘CROST-RITE” MISSOURI 8. (Yel- 
low.) One of the oldest and most favorably 
known hybrids and because of its splendid 
performance continues to be one of the 
most popular varieties. Into it the breeders 
combine the good qualities which every 
hybrid should have: productivity, strong 
stalk, deep root system, abundance of pol- 
len and head, drought and insect resist- 
ance, all of which make it the most out- 
standing hybrid of all where the going is 
difficult. We recommend it for the hill sec- 
tions, where the soil is sandy or the fer- 
tility level is low. Therefore, because of 
its splendid performance under such difficult 
conditions, it will make remarkable yields 
on the richer soils. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.15; pk. $3.60; 14 bu. $6.70.
