The Good Seed Quality
tf CORNHUSKER HYBRIDS
Is Especially Important To You This Spring!
— for 1951 was so “tough” a growing season that in
many production areas normal seed-corn quality and
yields simply were not possible.
CORNHUSKER, however, was lucky with its 1951
production of good high-germinating seed. Here’s why:
1. This year our production
area in the Platte Valley
of central Nebraska wps—
even more than usual—the
“garden spot” of the West
ern Corn Belt.
2. We were able to complete
over 90% of our seed-field
planting by May 14, 1951.
3. Heavy fertilizing aided
steady progress toward ma
turity — just as you found
was true on the most fertile
fields on your own farm.
4. Thus we got more nearly
normal kernel development,
before the general killing
frost of September 28, than
was possible almost any
where else in the entire
Western Corn Belt.
5. Our entire harvested seed
acreage averaged 85 bu. per
acre after drying—with test
weights running from 56 to
more than 58 lbs. per bu.
Sales to date are by far the heaviest we’ve ever had
— so, even with our good 1951 crop, plus a moderate
supply of 1950-crop seed of excellent quality and germ
ination, we will be completely sold out before this
spring’s planting is over. DON’T DELAY — see your
CORNHUSKER dealer NOW for GOOD seed of these
GREAT hybrids!
