Department Will Develop a 
ted to YOUR Particular Needs 
If the soil, weather or insect conditions 
in your locality require qualities not 
possessed by any of the 34 De Kalb 
QUALITY Hybrids or the 49 standard 
commercial strains which we can sup¬ 
ply, De Kalb breeders have the necessary 
foundation stocks, facilities and ability 
to produce the type of hybrid you need. 
This “tailor-made” hybrid development 
service never before has been available 
to corn growers. The surface in hybrid 
development barely has been scratched. 
De Kalb breeders constantly are pro¬ 
ducing special hybrids that outyield 
other seed. Some De Kalb strains now 
in commercial production outyielded 
all of the 1936 commercial champions, 
in experimental tests. Let the De Kalb 
Research Department recommend a hy¬ 
brid that will be the green spot in your 
drought picture.

Extreme care in the development, preparation and classification of 
De Kalb foundation stocks is your assurance that De Kalb Hybrids 
always will be up to quality, yield and adaptation specifications in 
every respect. De Kalb inbred recording, foundation stock segrega¬ 
tion, field isolation, protection of shoots by bags, hand pollination 
and creasing operations are entrusted only to the most expert and 
experienced of corn breeders. Incompetent breeders sometimes pro¬ 
duce hybrids that are poorer than open pollinated corn—like “pedi¬ 
greed scrubs” among livestock. Be sure of the hybrid YOU plant, by 
depending on a performance-tested De Kalb QUALITY Hybrid.
