ADAPTATION AREAS TOR CORN HYBRIDS IN OHIO 
COMPARE THIS MAP WITH 
TABLE OP 
RECOM3IENDATION 
The indicated adaptation 
areas are arranged with re¬ 
gard to climatic, soil, and 
corn usage variation. Wide 
variations exist within many 
of these areas and these varia¬ 
tions must be considered in 
choosing adapted hybrids for 
specific farms. 
TEN REASONS WHV 
HYBRID CORN IS BETTER 
Higher yields; Stiffer stalks, 
stands better; Better root sys¬ 
tem; More resistance to bugs 
and worms; More resistant to 
root rot; Better quality; Early 
maturing; Resistance to in¬ 
jury from early low tempera¬ 
tures; Capacity to use soil 
minerals, nitrogen and mois¬ 
ture more effectively; Will 
stand more heat and drought.

FORD’S HYBRID SEED CORN 
for 1940 
Oflin This variety is for general 
vyil U uplands, and for 
early planting on the rich bottom lands of 
Eastern, Northern, and Northeastern Ohio. 
It has a good root system, resisting 
droughts, stiff stalks, and uniform ears. A 
very desirable variety. Flat Kernels. Pk. 
$1.65; Vs Bu. $3.15; 1 Bu. $6.00. 
Vy ly This Hybrid variety has been de- 
veloped for ensilage, having a 
very heavy root system it develops re¬ 
sistance to drought, stiff stalks resisting 
wind storms, and a very heavy leaf system. 
Matures early. Flat Kernels. Pk. $1.65; 
^ Bu. $3.15; 1 Bu. $6.00. 
TV/T^IC The earliest Hybrid listed, giv- 
* ing high yields of sound corn. 
This hybrid is for use as an early corn 
in areas 1, 2 and 3. Especially valuable 
for late planting. Good root system, 
sturdy stalks, drought resistant, and 
well eared. Flat Kernels. Price same 
as K-23. 
T T O A4 One of the highest yielding 
* of all varieties of corn. 
Medium height. Ears on a good level 
for husking. Breaks out easily. It has 
very large smooth ears. Matures in 
about 110 days. Does very well on high 
fertility levels. Best adapted in north 
central sections. Very gOod for ensilage 
in the northern sections. Flat Kernels. 
Price same as K-23.
