Preliminary Report 
On Variety Demonstration 1937 
Made by the Kentucky Experiment Station un¬ 
der the supervision of Wm. C. Johnstone, Field A- 
gent in Agronomy, contains following statements: 
“The demonstrations were conducted under 
most diverse conditions on all types of soil including 
the hills of northern Kentucky. 
“The purpose of the demonstration was to show 
the relative value of Hybrid corn to ascertain the 
adaptability of Hybrids developed in other states 
to Kentucky conditions. 
“Seven Hybrids and one open-pollinated variety 
were included in all eight demonstrations. Their 
average yields are as follows: 
Ky. 69_64 bu. 
Ky. 72_64.9 ” 
Ky. 76_66.9 ” 
Ky. 80_62.9 ” 
(Avg. 4 Ky. Hybrids 63.2) 
Funk’s 235_59.7 bu. 
Funk’s 244_60.9 ” 
Ind. 614_53.9 ” 
Pride of Saline__60.2 ” 
(Open Pollinated) 
“Three open-pollinated varieties were included 
in 7 of the 8 demonstrations. Their yields as com¬ 
pared to Kentucky Hybrids are: 
Best Kentucky Hybrids_68.5 bu. 
Avg. 4 Kentucky Hybrids_66.0 ” 
Pride of Saline_62.1 ” 
Boone County White_59.6 ” 
Reid’s Yellow Dent_55.1 ” 
“Kentucky Hybrids are dependable producers 
of high quality corn in Kentucky. Pride of Saline is 
superior to most open-pollinated varieties. Boone 
County White is a good producer only under op¬ 
timum conditions. Reid’s Yellow Dent is one of the 
lowest rating varieties, altho one of those most 
commonly used.”
