‘'White elephant” come* from the story of a King of Siam who uaed to make a present of
a white elephant to courtiers whom he wished to ruin.
Last fall, when I heard the news from
the midwest that supplies of seed corn
were going to be short, I knew prices
wqiuld start climbing I asked my
Stanford dealer about it. and he told me
that the smartest thing for me to do was
to order my NK corn early He told me
that the people at Stanford shared my
concern about higher prices and they
did something about it They authorized
my dealer to give me price protection on
my early NK order That meant that if the
price of seed corn went up, I would pay
the lower early-order price That
sounded like more than a fair deal to me,
so I ordered early And you know what?
The price went up later, saving me $2 50
a bag
That’s one of the reasons I’m going
back to my Stanford-NK dealer now
Another reason is the big yield poten
tial of Northrup-Kmg hybrids NK corn
took more than 80 first-place N C G A
state championships m the last six years
To me, that’s convincing proof that NK
hybrids are exactly what we need to get
those high-profit yields from our corn
