There is still confusion among growers
about the association of Pride
and King Grain. It is-simple,
we're one and the same.
For 25 years, Pride corn has been grown,
processed and distributed
to Canadian growers, but last fall
we dropped-the name Pride Hybrid
in favor of King Grain
-- it simplified things.
Growers already know us
for King Brand seed which are
available through your local seed dealer
so it made sense
to join everything together.
And this year it's business as usual.
You can make a one-stop shopping call
for all your seed needs
and at the same time find out
about Perth barley,,a brand new
six-row spring barley which
has everything going for it high yields,
disease resistance, standability and soon.
Remember now, when you hear
someone talk about King Grain
or mention Pride corn you'll know
you're -at the right place.
Two heads are better than one.

boars which completed test at the

Yorkshire boar had a performance
index of 147 which combined low
backfat thickness of .53 inches,
fast average daily gain on test of
2.24 pounds per day and excellent
feed conversion of only 2.34
pounds feed per pound gain.
36 of the top boars in the

top indexing ones mentioned
above will be sold at the Test
Station on November 25th at 1:30
p.m. As all boars at the Test
Station are fed and handled under
uniform conditions, buyers can be
sure that superior performance is
due to true genetic superiority for
low backfat, fast gains and good
feed conversion which will be
passed on to the pigs they sire,
