CERTIFIED 247 
This is a new hybrid to many, but for the past two years we have grown 247 and 
find it one of the best. Some object to tall growing hybrids. 247 is a medium height 
hybrid and makes ideal husking. Dark green foliage. Rather large ear easy to husk 
Single eared variety. Very few suckers. Ears 9 to 12 inches long. Stands heat and 
drouth exceptionally well. 
Does well on soils of medium fertility. The past year in the Official Test at Mount 
Pulaski, Logan County, IIl., 247 was second highest of 72 hybrids. At the Littleton 
Station, Schuyler County, IIl., it was also highest. Also up néar the top in several other 
sections. For prices see inside back cover. 
ILLINOIS 
206 
This hybrid is 
the same as U.S. 
13 with the ex- 
ception that it 
has 5120 inbred 
instead of HY 
which makes it 
more __ resistant 
to chinch bugs. 
Good sized, me- 
dium smooth 
corn; very fine 
quality. Rather 
hard for feeding 
purposes. A good 
marketable corn 
but for feeding 
alone. we have 
other hybrids 
E +” , which are bet- 
Lhd aS 5 5 ee ter. About two 
days earlier than 
U.S. 13. Does 
not grow quite so tall. Single ear. Stands up well. An excellent root system. For prices see inside 
back cover.

You will note our K-99 outyielded the second highest by more than five bushels to the acre. This 
test shows a yield of 39.14 lowest to 83.84, 
Mr. Laird also writes, ‘Your K-99 was 
head and shoulders over everything. There 
was never much doubt about the outcome 
and all the late visitors who expressed their 
opinion picked this one as the best.” 
CLOSE SORTING 
This is where every ear is examined care- 
fully before putting in the large drying bins 
underneath the floor. These men sort the 
corn, put it in baskets and the baskets are 
dumped on the floor where a supervisor again 
examines the corn before dropping it into the 
drying bins below. After the corn is dried, it 
is again sorted on a 135 foot belt before it is 
elevated to the sheller on the 4th floor.
