It has a good record in yield and strength 
of stalk. In a two-year record in northern 
Illinois, Iowa 931 showed very satisfactory 
performance of 103.1% and 102..o% with an 
acre yield up to 9.0.5 bushels per acre in 
1935. An early maturing corn that will, 
over a period of years show an average in¬ 
crease rtf 16.'4% over open pollinated, is a 
good Hybrid to select.

In iowa in 1937 it ranked first among all 
Hyl)rids in the experimental class in three 
tests. It gave a top yield of 108.49 bushels in 
1937. 
Indiana recommends it for the central part 
of the State. 
Illinois, where the mo.st extensive tests have 
been made for three years, Illinois 9G0 has 
made total yields of 123.9 bu.shels per acre.

and has a greater tendency to have two ears 
per stalk. We do not recommend it for i)lant-^

superiority of 25% in yield and lodging resistance 
of stalk over the average open pollinated corn in 
state yield contests for at least 2 to 5 years pre¬ 
ceding certification. When you buy State Certified 
Hybrid, you are sure of getting the genuine State 
Originated Hybrid Corn. We sell State Certified

tasseling, moisture content or germination, it can’t 
be certified. It must also germinate 90% strong 
or better.
