Our Earliest Hybrid—A Heavy Yielder 
About 97 to 102 Day 
_We have taken four outstanding inbreds to make this Hybrid. These are lines that have 
high factors for big yields, fine grain quality, strong stalks of good height and early ma- 
turity. This combination makes a Hybrid that we consider second to none in its maturity 
class. We do not know of any that will make larger ears, deeper grains or better stalks. 
This corn starts fast in the spring and matures early in the fall. The strong stalks un- 
der average conditions grow around 9 feet and they are quite leafy. While it is grown 
chiefly for grain this leafy growth makes it well adapted for ensilage. The length of 
the ear and depth of the grain is extra good for such early maturity. That makes it pro- 
duce exceptionally well. 
This 405 has proven even a better yielder than some of the later maturing kinds. In 
actual tests it outyielded them by a big margin. It husks easily by hand and is good for 
machine picking. It is also very good for shredding. We know this is just the kind of 
corn many farmers are looking for and we'recommend it highly to those wanting a top 
notch early maturing Hybrid. It is not flinty and the grain has fine feeding value. 
We consider this corn adapted to sections having conditions similar to that from south- 
ern Minnesota to central Iowa. -This would include southern Wisconsin and Michigan and 
considerable areas in_states of Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia. It can go farther north for ensilage and 
farther south when an early maturing variety is desired. It is adapted to a wide range 
of soils from high to low fertility and has done remark- 
ably well on muck land.
