HYBRID CORN 
Cost per acre is but little over ordinary 
corn. More than repays this in better 
quality, better yield. 
May be planted earlier to be farther along 
before hot, dry weather. 
Is healthy and vigorous, more resistant 
to insect damage. 
Has stronger, deeper root-system, there¬ 
fore can better withstand heat, drouth. 
Stands up better, lodges less. 
Ifi freer of barren stalks. Good ear on 
almost every stalk, hence better yield. 
Grows uniform, ripens evenly.
