This corn was cribbed separately, placed under government seal, and weights were checked. This yield of 97 bu. per acre was made under average field conditions, and not on a selected contest plot. We have ether, new, State Certified varieties, frcm 100 to 120 day maturity. Many farmers were highly pleased with results from Pool's hybrids in 1953. For more corn in 1954, when acreages are reduced, plant some of Pool's Nebr. Certified Hybrids. Still a good selection of most grades and varieties. Write for cata logue or ste your nearest dealer.
