Challenge
your present hybrid with an
NK Superstar
The Challenge
You know the challenge of getting higher yields
can only be met with an open mind and a willing
ness to try new practices and new hybrids.
Northrup King Superstar hybrids challenge your
present hybrid—on yield and overall performance.
Plant an NK Superstar. Compare. We think your
NK corn will do better. Fair enough?
Com profits hinge on productive seed! Northrup'
King has devoted almost a century to the science
of unlocking seed productivity. The result is corn
hybrids that can meet every challenge... with
yields so high they topped the nation for three
straight years.

Highest yield in nation
three of the last four years
For three consecutive years (1969,1970 and 1971)
NK corn hybrids and growers have produced the
highest yield m the nation in a contest sponsored
by the National Corn Growers Assn., Boone, lowa.
Increasing com yields is a goal that challenges
every producer. That’s why so many no-nonsense
growers are rethinking their hybrid selections...
balancing the evidence . . . and ordering NK
hybrids. Think it over.

Tips For Drivers
Motor vehicle operators across
the country are naturally con
cerned with higher fuel pricey,
with possible shortages. How far
your car will go on a gallon of
gasoline becomes more important
with each passing day.
Most 1974 vehicles come equip
ped with something new a
sticker with fuel consumption in
formation. The sticker provides
statistical information. If you
want to get the most milage from
your automobile, you must look
to the considerations of proper
operation and maintenance.
Avoid high speed driving:
break-away starts; never leave
motor idling excessively. Even in
cold weather, a long engine warm
up is not necessary; just drive at
moderate speeds until engine
warms up. Stop and go driving
eats up fuel. Try to time city
driving to avoid stops at each red
-.light
WITH AN ALLIS-CHALMERS TWO-WAY PLOW
THERE’S no faster way to plow through the field
than with an Alhs-Chalmers two-way. Fast hydraulic
roll-over cuts turn-around tune at the end of the field.
Big 16-inch bottoms turn the widest, deepest furrows
you’ve ever seen. High clearance keeps you going non
stop through heavy trash.
Plow your fields fast, deep and level with an Alhs-
Chalmers two-way plow. You won't have to wait for
big harvest yields to see why GOING ORANGE IS
GOING GREAT! Deferred terms until June 1, 1974
on our complete Hay and Forage
Line including manure spreaders.
