Price Cutting In
Hybrid Corn

Price cutting is showing up in
the business of selling hybrid seed
corn and farmers are being confused
by the claims and counter claims of
statesmen, according to C. f. Schroe-
der, farmer of near Glandorf, Ohio,
who writes the following paragraph
on the situation:
II have found that the price cut
ter seldom has bargain to offer in
this seed corn business. Price itself
is composed of three major elements.
First comes cost of production, sec
ond a small per centage set aside
for experimental and research work,
and third, reasonable profit. Hy-
brid' is a word we farmers all use
and few understand. Really it means
the first generation of cross involv-
ing one, two, three or four lines of
corn or their combinations. The
word hybrid denotes neither quail
ity, workmanship, dependability of
producer or a superior product. 1t
merely denotes type of corn as
regards the method of breeding"
