G-701 is best suited for early feed and early harvest, making it 
especially desirable for those with livestock requiring abundant supplies 
of early feed. 
Farmers and planters in the adapted territory of G-/01l desiring 
abundant yields per acre can well consider using this hybrid in 1942.

ROBERTSHAW PLANTATION ~ BREEDERS OF BOBSHAW BRAND 
FUNK'S "G" HYBRID SEED CORN 
HEATHMAN, MISS. 
Robertshaw Plantation is one of the oldest in Mississippi Delta. 
It contains 7000 acres, of which about 5000 are in intensive cultiva- 
tion. For years it has had a part in the breeding and selling of fine 
strains of cotton and other seed. The Robertshaw Company became the 
official representative of the Funk Bro. Seed Company of Bloomington, 
Illinois and Jackson, Mississippi. Here the final crosses of Funk's 
"G" hybrid corns that are best adapted to the Delta are made. This 
year (1941) about 500 bushels of these hybrids were grown on Robertshaw 
Plantation and are now offered as Delta-Grown Hybrids for Mississippi. 
John W. Oakley is agronomist, and the one who handles the breed- 
ing operations, with W. J. Godbold, Resident Plantation Manager. The 
property is under general management of Doane Agricultural Service of 
St. Louis. 7 
The Delta Experiment Station maintains one of the Sub-Stations 
on the property, located seven miles east of Leland and three miles 
west of Indianola on Highway 82. 
Visitors are always Welcome.
