Farmers Praise Its Rapid Growth, 
Making Earlier Cultivation Possible

Check plot tests in dozens of localities of the north central corn 
belt first established the unusual yielding ability of Funk's G-16. 
Now the yielding ability of this hybrid is winning G-16 rapid 
acceptance among north central corn belt farmers. 
ADAPTATION—Here’s a G-Hybrid that is get- 
ting remarkable acceptance. G-16 is a full sea- 
son hybrid for northern and north central Illinois 
and Indiana. It is well liked and well adapted 
in northwest Ohio. 
Farmers Like G-16 because of its splendid field per- 
formance, its high yield averages and the excellent 
feeding quality of its grain for both livestock and 
poultry. This hybrid is noted for its rapid early 
growth and produces a heavy, abundant foliage, 
making it a desirable hybrid for silage purposes 
where late corn is not desired. 
Fine Ear Type—G-16 produces a cylindrical ear 
that appeals to every corn grower. The ears are low 
down on the stalk. There are practically no dropped 
ears in G-16 fields. Kernels are deep with plenty of 
starch which gives them their good feeding quality. 
Alfred Peters, of Holland, la., says: “I have never 
raised corn that stands better than G-16. It does not 
lodge, and the ears really stay on the stalks so that 
they can be picked with a mechanical picker. My 
G-Hybrids in one field yielded 120 bushels per acre.” 
STILL STANDING IN MARCH 

It stands! This is a picture of a G-16 field taken March 24, 1943, 
after it had stood all winter. The corn was of excellent quality 
and there was practically no loss of grain. This is just another 
of the extra benefits farmers get who plant Funk’s G Hybrids.
