MASTER IDEAL 
HYBRID SILO CORN 
(F-106 Maturity 115) 
Now we offer a HYBRID—developed 
from our famous Ideal Silo Corn! 
Nine foot plants carry ears 3 feet from 
the ground, The 9 to 10 inch ears are 
packed with 16 rows of deep, soft- 
starch, yellow kernels of high feeding 
value. 
Fifteen tons of quality silage per 
acre! Silage is best when corn is 
‘‘medium dented.’’ Then the entire 
plant contains 70% moisture, and 
ears are well developed—while plant 
remains green. 
Master Ideal Hybrid is splendid for 
silage in all zones—figuring maturity 
at 10 days later than for grain pro- 
duction. Be sure to try this great new 
silage producer!

MASTER F-101—GIVES GOOD RESULTS in Spite of SEVERE SEPTEMBER FREEZE 
At Vernon Center, (Blue Earth County, Minn.) 
Bert Hanson, breeder of Polled Shorthorns, writes 
on the performance of Master Hybrid F-101 in 
1942. He reports not merely frost, but a hard 
freeze late in September with snow that broke 
down, more than 50 trees in his grove. After in- 
specting his own fields, and more than a hundred 
other fields in his section, and filling 7 silos, run- 
ning the cutter himself, he sends us this report 
at the right.

-Regarding your Master Hybrid F-101, I wish to 
say that it is the best corn I have this year. It 
will outyield the hybrid planted beside it, stands 
better, is plenty early for our territory, is holding 
ears well, develops very fast from tasseling to ma- 
turity and will be planted again next year. It 
appears to be equal to the very best fields in this 
territory at this time.
