IMPORTANT 
* The figures under "yield," "moisture," "ear height," "root 
lodging," and "stalks standing," are given in percentages of 
Pioneer 357 which is assumed to be 100%. Under "yield" and 
stalks standing," those hybrids whose percentages are higher 
than 100% have a higher yield record and have more standing 
stalks than Pioneer 357 for the number of years average indi¬ 
cated. Under "moisture," those hybrids above 100% are later 
maturing than 357. Under "ear height" and "root lodging," those 
hybrids below 100% have lower ear height and less root lodging 
than Pioneer 357.
