FUNK'S HYBRID G-244 
Funks Hybrid G-244 was the high yielding yellow hybrid in a 
Kentucky Exp. Sta. Test in 1937. Since that time it has been a 
consistently good performer. It has a good stalk, some two-eared 
plants and stands up well. The quality of this grain is exceptionally 
fine. Its chinch bug resistance, rootworm resistance and heat and 
drought resistance have all contributed to its consistent perform¬ 
ance and very wide range of usefulness. A good upland corn. 
Increase in yield in Kentucky over open-pollinated corn in 
Henderson County was 8 bu. per Acre; Calloway County—9 bu. 
per Acre; Hart County—34 bu. per Acre; Oldham County—10.5 
bu. per Acre; Jessamine County—36 bu. per Acre; Henry County— 
12 bu. per Acre; Shelby County—9 bu. per Acre; Bath County— 
33 bu. per Acre; Green County—5 bu. per Acre; Washington County 
5 bu. per Acre. Similar results were obtained in previous seasons 
and also in southern Indiana, southern Illinois, southern Ohio, south¬ 
eastern Missouri and northeastern Arkansas. 
FUNK'S HYBRID G-90 
An extremely stiff, sturdy, single-eared stalk plus resistance to 
rootworm, chinch bug, grasshoppers, heat and drought contribute 
to this hybrid's general desirability and wide range of adaptation. 
Three years tests in plots and wide distribution on farms leave no 
doubt as to its satisfactory performance. Widely distributed in 
Kentucky in 1939. Excellent satisfaction and acceptance by Ken¬ 
tucky farmers, both upland and bottom land. 
In 1939 in Henderson County. Kentucky, G-90 showed 9.3 
bushels increase over local corn; in Jessamine County. Kentucky. 
15 bu. per Acre increase; in Marshall County, 6 bu. per Acre; and 
in McCreary County, 12 bu. per Acre. It has a fine performance 
record in adjoining territory in neighboring states. G-90 was used by 
farmers at numerous other places in Kentucky and, while actual 
yield comparisons were not obtained, users were very enthusiastic 
about the performance of this fine hybrid. 
FUNK'S HYBRID G-135 
Primarily a single eared corn that will produce some two¬ 
eared plants under favorable seasonal and soil conditions. A fine 
stander, good chinch bug resistance and resistant to disease. G-135 
has demonstrated its satisfactory performance from Maryland on 
the east to Kansas on the west, an extremely wide range of 
adaptation to both soil and season. 
In Kentucky in 1939 the yield increases over local corn were— 
Henderson County—13.5 bu. per Acre; Carlisle County—13 bu. per 
Acre; Christian County—16 bu. per Acre; Hickman County—12 bu. 
per Acre; Lewis County—25 bu. per Acre; Henry County—12 bu. 
per Acre; Oldham County—12 bu. per Acre; Calloway County— 
18 bu. per Acre; Bath County—18 bu. per Acre; and Graves County 
—13 bu. per Acre.
