IJ Q CC This Hybrid is practically of the 
Va '□■•J same season as Illinois 172 or 
just a little later than Iowa 939 and W17. Very 
stiff erect stalk, ears good sized and placed me¬ 
dium height. U. S. 65 makes a fine upland Hy¬ 
brid. In the Belmont and Paulding Experiment 
farm tests it ranked first in yield over all Ohio 
Hybrids and in all other places tested it was 
well to the top. This is true not only in Ohio 
but was also a leader clear across the corn 
belt. The grains are smooth and shank small, 
making it nice to husk, either by hand or with 
husker. U. S. 65 is one of the new outstanding 
Hybrids and we would plant at least one field 
of this seed. This Hybrid we especially recom¬ 
mend. Price Hybrid Seed on Page 38. 
U S *52 This Hybrid is one of medium 
■ season as area table indicates. 
Its stalks are tall and very lodge resistant. The 
ears are smooth, of medium length and thickness 
with 18 to 20 rows of medium depth grain. U. S. 
52 is adapted over quite a wide area and has 
been a very consistant heavy yielder. It is ideal 
for a corn picker and because it stands so well 
it can be left for husking off the stalk very 
late in the year if necessary. It is a general all 
purpose Hybrid.

§ dd This * 8 a com P arat ively new Hy- 
brid and the seed is somewhat 
limited. We should have around 500 bu. of 
graded seed for 1939 planting. Wherever U. S. 
44 has been grown it Is being used again. The 
plants are of medium height and very lodge re¬ 
sistant. Ears are smooth, of medium length with 
18 to 20 rows of grain. The table below will 
show how it compares with open pollinated 
kinds.

qcn This Hybrid has been used very extensively 
* vUU an( j tested thoroughly all over the corn belt 
and has most outstanding yield tests. The table above is an 
example for Ohio and the same holds true in other states. 
The stalks are medium height, very lodge resistant and blades 
are a very deep green color. Ears of good size are carried 
medium height. This Hybrid is comparatively new to Ohio but 
certainly comes with very high recommendation from all states 
west of us and we do not hesitate to recommend it highly 
wherever adaption is shown on area map. Our field of Ill. 960 
seed for 1939 planting certainly was outstanding.

HYBRID SEED CORN PAYS 
Even with feed com prices as low as at the present time. 
Hybrid seed pays its way many times over. First, it definitely 
will outyield your open pollinated varieties. Second, it has a 
much stronger root system which with stiffer stalk resists 
lodging much more than your old kinds. Many folks would buy 
Hybrid seed for this advantage alone. Third, with ears nearly 
the same height all over the field, husking is definitely 
easier if by hand and will not knock off as many if done by 
machine. Fourth, adapted Hybrids mature better and are gener¬ 
ally in better condition to crib.
