surprisingly large, well shaped, heavy ears. Kernels are well 
dented and medium soft in texture. Matures, stands and 
yields like 355, but develops shorter shanks, and resists smut 
better. Ears husk out clean and easy for hand or machine 
pickers.

Extra High_ Yield 
Strong Reots, Stiff Stalks 
Thick Ears, Deep Grain 
@ Gives you both extra high yield 
and excellent lodging resistance with 
safe maturity. Deyelops very strong 
roots and very stiff stalks. Stood up 
excellently throughout 1941 season 
when many hybrids lodged badly. 
Yields rather thick, medium length 
ears with very deep kernels. Leaves 
very little ear and shelled corn in 
field when harvested with machine. 
In the 1941 Minnesota Corn Yield 
Trials, conducted by University of 
Minnesota, Pioneer 353 consistently 
ranked at or near the top in yield in 
six of the seven test fields located in 
the Southern and South Central Zones.

Rough, Soft-starch Ears 
Single Eared Stalks 
Uniform Ears, Plants 
@ A popular, high yielding, rough 
eared hybrid with soft starch, good 
quality kernels, and single eared 
stalks. Produces dressy lookimg corn, 
has extreme plant uniformity and 
very even ear height. Ears pick 
clean, break out of husk easy. May 
drop few ears. Stalks disc up easily. 
Stalks are sometimes brittle in mid- 
summer, but become very stiff in 
autumn. 
Has become one of the most pop- 
ular hybrids grown in Central and 
North Central Iowa. Reserve your 
1943 supply now.

deep kernels, small cobs. Generally overruns measured 
cribs around 10 per cent when shelled. Has excellent long- a 
time lodging resistance record. Husks easy by hand, picks 
clean all day with machine. 
In common with many very stiff stalked hybrids, 322 was 
affected in some sections last fall by a particular stalk rot 
which was unusually active. On the average, 322 is very 
stiff stalked. Pioneer 322 has the best lodging resistance 
among all hybrids tested for five years (1936-40) in both the 
Northern and North Central Sections of the official Iowa Corn 
Yield Test.

A New Variety 
Produces Rough Ears 
Soft Starch Kernels 
@ This new variety matures slightly later than 322, has 
rough, deep kernel ears. Hogs and cattle like its soft starch 
texture. Ear type is similar to 330. Stands up strongly, pro- 
duces good roots and very stiff stalks, good ear appearance, 
single eared stalks, and drops practically no ears. 
Earlier than 330. A good companion hybrid to grow with 
322—it matures slightly later, grows shorter stalks, has lower 
ear height, and shells less when picked with a mechanical 
picker.

can be fed, marketed, or sealed without delay. Usually 
overruns measured cribs 5 to 15 per cent when shelled—has 
long, small cob ears filled with deep kernels. Thrives well 
on alkali, grows especially well on peat.

Silage, Fodder Corn 
Large Attractive Ears 
Picks Clean, Easy 
@ Good silage and fodder corn. Grows tall stalks, yields 
big tonnage of dark green foliage, makes a large crop of 
grain. Plants are attractive, dressy, uniform looking. May 
stalk break some in the fall on high nitrogen soil. Produces 
single eared stalks, large uniform ears with medium soft 
starch, and deep sound kernels. Picks clean with machine, 
husks easy by hand. 
High Yield of Grain 
@ Stands up in windstorms, resists 
drought, gives large yields of grain 
‘and fodder. Grows tall, looks well in 
field, produces good quality foliage 
excellent for ensilage or fodder. Cyl- 
inder shaped ears retain width to tip, 
are sound, heavy in weight, have 
deep dimple dent, medium soft starch 
grain. Made the highest yields in 
two of the three Southern Zone fields 
in the official 1941 Minnesota Corn 
Yield Trials. In Group I only.

@ A new, extra high yielding, stiff 
stalked corn. Grows dark green stalks 
and leaves. Produces one ear per 
stalk. Yields good quality ears with 
well dented, moderately rough, me- 
dium soft starch kernels. Long husks 
protect ear tips from grain damage. 
Ears hang fairly low on stalks— 
handy to husk by hand. 
Resists smut excellently. Holds 
very high yield records in Pioneer 
tests conducted in North Central Iowa. 
Very resistant to dropped ears.

Uniform Looking Fields 
One Large Ear Per Stalk 
@ Pioneer 324 yields a big crop of large, showy ears. Ears 
hold their width well from butt to tip, have medium dent 
kernels, deep grain, run uniform in size and appearance. 
Plants look attractive. Stalks stand even in height, bear 
wide, healthy looking leaves. Ears hang evenly at a conven- 
ient height for husking. 
Kernels contain medium hard starch, have high shelling per- 
centage, market at top grade. Good sealing corn in North 
Central Iowa. Keeps well in the crib.
