VARIETIES OF MEDIUM LATE MATURITY 
HERE ARE 
TWO VARIETIES OF 
SUPERIOR STANDING 
ABILITY 
DEKALB 800 
Ability to stand is one of the important char¬ 
acteristics of hybrid corn. This variety pos¬ 
sesses this characteristic to the "nth" degree. 
Notice the picture above taken in late win¬ 
ter. Probably the most outstanding hybrid 
ever developed in this respect. This feature, 
along with its high yields, ease of harvesting 
and uniformity, make DeKalb 800, which 
was offered to farmers for the first time last 
year, one of the most popular and sought 
after varieties in the 800 series. 
DEKALB 800A 
A new variety that is very similar to 800 in 
appearance and ability to stand, but has a 
slightly longer shank, deeper kernels and 
more cylindrical ears. A high yielder that 
will be popular with livestock feeders be¬ 
cause of its soft kernels. This variety shows 
a marked resistance to _ 
attacks 
of insect pests, 
particularly to chinch bugs 
and the destructive south¬ 
ern corn root worms.
