Large Ears, Vigorous Roots, 
Sturdy Stalks Give G-169 
Superior Yielding Power 
A World’s Record Yielder: G-169 was one of 
the four G Hybrids used by William Woods, 
when he set the world’s 10-acre corn yield record 
at 174.3 bushels per acre in 1941. This hybrid is 
a remarkably early starter and a fast, vigorous 
grower. It is one of the outstandingly high 
yielders in its adapted areas. 
It Can Take Adversity, Too! Although G-169 
has gained wide popularity as a heavy yielding, 
fine feeding strain, you’ll find it more than just 
a “fair weather’ corn. You’ll like the way its 
excellent root system and stiff stalk keep it 
standing so you can speed up harvesting opera- 
tions without waste. G-169’s unusual resistance 
to chinch bugs, root worms, heat and drouth 
means that you will get crop income, even 
though these hazards strike your locality. 
Here’s what Peter Van Ham, Pella, Iowa, says: 
“TI especially like G-169. It produces bumper 
crops under favorable conditions and does 
remarkably well even in abnormal seasons. 
When many other hybrids turn yellow because 
of drouth, G-169 holds its dark green color.”

William Woods, McLean County, Illinois, smiles happily over a load 
of G-169 with which he made the highest yield in the 1941 official 
10-acre yield contest sponsored by the Illinois Crop Improvement 
Association, and the University of Illinois’ College of Agriculture.
