This farmer believes in taking no unnecessary chances. He knows that all the factors needed to insure good yields—high 
germination, rapid growth, resistance to disease and insect attack, and good standability—have been “built into” the 
G-Hybrid seed he planted. It is this research work, done in Funk nurseries, that takes much of the gamble out of raising corn.

RUGGED EAR... 
Kernels Are 
Well Dented 
Emphasis on Yield—High 
yield is the thing for which 
Funk’s G-67 is best known. 
It develops rapidly during 
the first weeks after plant- 
ing. Its foliage is heavy, 
shading the ground and 
discouraging weed growth. 
G-67 normally remains 
dark green through its 
entire growing period. At 
maturity, ears dry quickly, 
a quality greatly to be 
desired. Quick-drying ears 
are least susceptible to 
molds and rots—which 
means these ears will give 
higher quality grain for 
market or feed. Too, quick- 
drying ears permit early 
harvest. G-67 is strongly 
resistant to high winds— 
another harvest time asset. 
A SOFTER CORN 
ee Livestock 
Farmers Prefer It 
A Feeders’ Corn— Funk’s 
G-170 has won deserved 
popularity on livestock 
farms of the north central 
corn belt, especially in 
northwest Ohio. It pro- 
duces a deep-grained, 
medium rough ear. Ears 
are carried low on a stiff 
stalk, making harvest 
either by hand or with a 
picker easy. Kernels are 
well dented, and this hy- 
brid is not recommended 
to customers who prefer 
a hard, flinty corn. Tested 
on Funk’s widely scattered 
proving plots for several 
years, Funk’s G-170 has 
demonstrated that it re- 
quires no pampering to 
produce a good heavy 
yield of high quality corn.
