Hybrid Corn Yields More 

av 
/itakes a lot of corn cribs to hold 35,000 bushels of hybrid field corn and it takes a lot of machinery and labor to handle it Cannas The 
corn is picked and husked by machinery, hauled to the crib by. tractor, elevated into the crib where it is air dried until it can be sorted. 
From here it goes to the mechanical driers where the moisture is reduced to 14%, then shelled, graded and is ready for distribution. 
CERTIFIED FIELD CORN 
CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 29-3: A double CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 34-53: A new 
cross between pure strains of Luce’s Favorite and 
Onondaga White Dent crossed onto Cornell 11 and 
Bloody Butcher. Originated at the New York 
State Experiment Station at Ithaca, 29-3 is as early 
as Cornell 11 and produces as much silage as Sweep- 
stakes. In sections where Sweepstakes does not ma- 
ture, 29-3 adds 10% to the dry matter in the silage. 
29-3 grows almost as tall as Sweepstakes and is 
yellow dent hybrid husking corn for those sections 
that have been growing Cornell 11. Ten days 
earlier than 29-3. More uniform maturity and 10 to 
15 per cent greater yield than Cornell 11. Leafy 
stalk 7 to 9 feet, ears 8 to 9 inches long. Excellent 
silage variety for high elevations where growing 
season is short. 1 pk. $1.90; % bu. $3.35; bu. 
960,25:t 22 bu ol2e2o 
much more leafy. These leaves remain green clear 
to the bottom of the stalk until cutting time. This 
variety is especially adapted for silage to Northern 
New York, and in other sections of the state and 
Pennsylvania where Sweepstakes does not mature. 
It seems to be better rooted than Sweepstakes and 
does not lodge. Any surplus that is not needed for 
the silo can be husked. 
No. 1 FLAT KERNELS: 1 peck $1.90; % bu. $3.30; 
1 bu. $6.00; 2 bu. $11.75. 
SECOND SIZE FLAT KERNELS: 1 peck $1.25; 
¥% bu. $2.00; 1 bu. $3.75; 2 bu. $7.25. 
ROUND KERNELS: 1 peck $1.50; % bu. $2.75; 
1 bu. $5.00; 2 bu. $9.75. 
CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 29-5: New hybrid 
silage corn of the same season as West Branch 
Sweepstakes but contains 10% more dry matter. 
29-5 is about ten days later than Cornell 29-3 and 
should be used for silage only. We have a limited 
amount of seed but suggest that you try a small 
acreage of this new variety. 1 peck $1.90; 1% bu. 
$3.35; bu. $6.25; 2 bu. $12.25. 
CERTIFIED EARLY CORNELL 11: In many sec- 
tions of the East, Cornell 11 has been too late in 
maturing to be an ideal husking corn. 
We now have an Extra Early Cornell 11 that ripens 
fully two weeks earlier than the old strain. The 
stalk is of good height, 7 to 9 feet, the ears are 8 to 
9 inches long and have 14 to 18 rows of yellow 
dented kernels arranged on a small cob. 
Under favorable conditions Extra Early Cornell 11 
will fully mature in 90 days. We have had many re- 
ports of yields of over 100 bushels of ears per acre. 
1 peck $1.50; 14 bu. $2.50; bu. $4.00; 2 bu. $7.75.

Cornell’s new Hybrid 34-53 gives us an early hybrid that we are 
sure will meet with the approval of growers of husking corn. 
With increasing transportation difficulties it will be advisable 
for Eastern farmers to grow more corn for grain.
