STATE CERTIFIED MISSOURI No. 8 
Missouri No. 8 is a smooth soft yellow Corn preferred by feeders over a 
flinty hard type. It produces two ears under favorable conditions and is 
resistant to drought, insects and disease, maturing in 120 to 125 days. Mis* 
souri No. 8 has been tested in Missouri for many years and has proven year 
after year to be superior to the best open pollenated varieties under the same 
conditions. The average yield has been 36% better than Reid’s Yellow Dent 
and over 22% greater than Midland Yellow. 
STATE CERTIFIED MISSOURI HYBRID No. 47 
This hybrid is very similar to the famous Illinois 960 except that it does 
not grow so tall. Probably best adapted to northern half or two-thirds of 
Missouri. No tests in Iowa or Illinois. Five to seven days later than Illinois 
960. Stands up well, somewhat large stalk. 
Certified and recommended by Missouri College of Agriculture as a satis¬ 
factory Earlier Maturing Variety. Its similarity in pedigree to Illinois 960, 
along with good showing in 1937 yield tests placed it among the better hy¬ 
brids for Missouri. 
ILLINOIS HYBRID No. 960 
(Certified by the Illinois Crop Improvement Assn.) 
Adapted to nearly all of Missouii, southern Iowa, northern Kentucky, 
southern two-thirds Illinois. Probably the most widely adapted hybrid in 
present production. 
A hybrid of medium early maturity. Tends to two ears. Grows somewhat 
taller than many hybrids. Has good strong stalk, although the stalk is not as 
large as some hybrids. Good root system, and stands up well. 
Illinois 960 made- an excellent record in Missouri during 1939. 
JEWETT HYBRIDS No. 6, 11, 23, 36 
Jewett Hybrids are outstanding in Corn production in Missouri. Their 
record for 1939 is at the top. Being bred to produce a record crop even in 
our dry years, Jewett Hybrids are proving themselves to be among the finest 
for Missouri. The breeding work for Jewett Hybrids has all been done in 
Missouri under Missouri’s climatic conditions; hence, drought resistance- and 
ability to produce during our dry summers is bred into the strain. We offer 
all of the Jewett numbers. We would be pleased to mail you complete in¬ 
formation and lowest prices upon receipt of your request. 
IOWA HYBRID No. 13 
Adapted to northern half of Missouri and southern half of Iowa. This 
hybrid is of medium to less than average height, tends somewhat toward being 
two-eared. Stands up very well. Iowa 13 seems to be more drought and heat 
resistant than most hybrids, being one of the best in this respect. 
FUNKS “G” HYBRIDS 
FUNKS “G” 46. Medium to late maturity. Gives best account of itself on 
soils of medium to high fertility. This is a single eared hybrid with excellent 
grain quality, medium to tall good stiff stalks, carrying ears at chest height 
and has a high degree of resistance to heat and drought. Also resistant to 
chinch bugs, grasshoppers and rootworm. 
FUNKS “G” 56. Early to medium maturity. This strain has an enviable 
record on all soil types. G-56 is a two-eared hybrid, medium tall, stiff, 
dark green stalks, carries ears of outstanding grain quality at chest height. 
Resistant to chinch bugs, heat and drought. 
FUNKS “G” 135. Late maturity for early planting. This is a single-eared 
hybrid with excellent quality medium tall stalks and carries large rich golden 
ears about chest height. G-13 5 has demonstrated its ability to stand up 
under chinch bugs, Stewart’s disease, Diplodia stalk rot, heat and drought. 
FUNKS “G” 235. Early maturity. G-235 is a consistent performer on soils 
of average fertility. During the past few seasons this hybrid has demon¬ 
strated its ability to make high yields under unusually wide range of con¬ 
ditions. This hybrid produces several two-eared plants, about 50%. G-235 
has excellent grain quality ears at about waist height. 
FUNKS “G” 244. Early maturity. One of the finest hybrids produced for 
use over a wide variety of soil types and fertility levels. You will find 
G-244 consistently in the upper bracket in a wide range of official tests. 
This is a two-eared hybrid with good stalks, medium height, stand up well, 
and ears about chest high. The quality of grain produced is exceptionally 
fine. 
Is used as a dust disinfectant to 
control the ear, root and stalk 
rots of corn. SEMESAN JR. in¬ 
creased yields from diseased seed 
by varying amounts up to 38 
percent. 
Applied only as a dust, at the 
rate of 3 ounces per bushel of 
seed. The cost therefore is only 
about 5c an acre of field corn.
