DeKalb has pioneered in the commercial pro¬ 
duction of white hybrids through the work of 
one of its corn breeders, R. R. St. John. In devel¬ 
oping white corn varieties, Mr. St. John has consulted the corn millers in 
order to ascertain the type of corn best suited for milling purposes. In the 
varieties that he has developed, he has combined the characteristics 
desired by the milling industry with those wanted by the farmer, such 
as high yield, stiff stalks, and good root systems. In the past, many 
farmers have preferred to use white corn on soils of low fertility even 
though there is no direct evidence that they are more satisfactory than 
yellow corn in this respect. However, DeKalb s varieties have a wide 
adaptation to various soil types. 
For 1941 planting, DeKalb offers 7 varieties ranging from early to late 
maturity. They are 302, 504, 710, 720, 918, 919 and 922, listed in the 
order of maturity. See map for the general area recommended for each
