4+ MEDIUM-SOFT STARCH 
+ LONG EARS 
+ SINGLE EARED STALKS 
EASY HUSKING CORN 
@ A quick-drying, early maturing variety. 
The long ears, borne at a convenient height 
on the plant, are easily grasped and 
husked by hand pickers. Medium length 
shanks hold the ears firmly on stalks, yet 
the ears snap off easily when husked. 
STRONG ROOT SYSTEM 
@ This hybrid develops strong roots—does 
not uproot easily in windstorms. Ordina- 
rily, its stalks are stiff and stand up excel- 
lently, but when grown in soil with high 
nitrogen content, it may show a tendency 
to stalk-break in late fall. 
HIGH YIELDING 
@ In spite of its earliness, Pioneer 373 is 
a high yielder. In the official 1940 Minne- 
sota Corn Yield Trials, it placed first in 
yield among hybrids classified under Group 
iV in the Chippewa and Pope County 
fields, and first among hybrids classified in 
Group III in the Lincoln County field.

UNIFORM PLANTS AND EARS 
® &A beautiful hybrid in the field. The plants 
all look alike, ears all hang evenly, run true 
to type, and measure about the same length. 
Its well-rooted stalks stand up stiff and 
straight. A few of the plants tend to develop 
two ears. Kernels are medium hard. This 
variety is only fair in drought resistance. 
HIGH YIELD RECORD 
@ Pioneer 370 produces a very high yield. 
It made the highest yield among Group I 
hybrids (early corn) in the 1940 Minnesota 
Corn Yield Trials, yielding 88.6 bushels per 
acre. It placed first in the Nicollet and Win- 
ona County fields in Group I, and first in 
Lincoln County in Group II (adapted corn). It 
is recommended chiefly for southeast Minne- 
sota and northeast Iowa. 
PIONEER 367 
SAME MATURITY AS 355 
NEW, EXTRA HIGH YIELDING, 
EARLY HYBRID 
@ One of the highest yielding hybrids tested in 
Minnesota during the last two years by Pioneer 
corn breeders. It outyielded all other varieties | 
in its maturity range. Has strong roots, stiff 
stalks, excellent ear dropping resistance. Some 
stalks produce two ears. Texture of ears and 
kernel starch a little harder than Pioneer 355.

BIG ATTRACTIVE EARS — 
HIGH YIELD 
@ A hybrid for the northern corn belt 
farmer who wants large ears, medium-soit 
starch kernels, attractive ear appearance, 
single eared stalks, and a high yield of 
good quality grain. Has strong shanks 
that resist ear dropping. Makes good ‘’ma- 
chine picker’ corn. A variety quite similar 
to Pioneer 353 in maturity and general 
characteristics, but produces ears that aver- 
age slightly larger, and carries them a 
trifle higher on the stalk. 
FIBROUS ROOTS — RIGID 
STALKS — RESISTANT TO 
DROUGHT 
®@ Pioneer 353A stands up exceptionally 
well in the northern corn belt — comes 
through wind storms when many hybrids 
are swept to the ground. It resists uproot- 
ing, stalk-breaking, and drought. Long, 
fibrous roots brace its strong, rigid stalks 
and reach deeply into the soil for extra 
moisture and plant food during drought 
conditions. Well adapted to areas often 
stricken with moisture shortage.
