HYBRID SEED CORN 
Hybrid Seed is the first generation cross or hybrid involving two or more inbred strains. Yield comparisons 
during the last few years have shown that hybrids may be expected to out-yield the best open pollinated 
varieties of the same seasonal requirements by at least 15% to 20%; that they are stiffer stalked, have fewer 
barren stalks, less smut, and are more resistant to drouth. 
The full value of hybrid seed exists only in the first hybrid generation, seed saved from a hybrid crop and 
planted the following season will yield less than first generation and may be inferior to that of ordinary 
varieties. Plant only new first generation seed. Hybrids are just as definitely adapted to various localities as 
are varieties and should be used only when it is known to be adapted and productive in a particular locality.
