EAR ACTUAL SIZE 

G-37 produces well-dented ears of softer corn—the 
kind that is a favorite in the hog lot and means extra 
pounds of meat and lard—more profits— at market time.

ADAPTATION—A standout hybrid for the north 
central corn belt. G-37 is full season for the south 
half of Region 2 (map on page 4) and in the north 
half of Region 3. It is a medium season strain in 
lower Region 3 and upper Region 4. This hybrid 
is earlier than G-53 but a few days later than G-66. 
G-37 is well adapted to many soil types. 
Tops in 4-Year Test—“‘Very few hybrids have ever been 
developed that have as good standability as G-37,” says 
Dr. J. R. Holbert, chief of the Funk corn-breeding staff. 
The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station’s 4-year 
report on hybrids tested in that state bears out the state- 
ment. Results of four years of testing in the north ceatral 
section of Iowa show that Funk’s G-37 not only had 
superior standability but that its all-around performance 
score topped all other hybrids checked. It was a leader 
in standability, had the fewest lodged stalks and its per- 
centage of dropped ears was also low. But most important 
of all, G-37 averaged nearly 85 bushels an acre for the 
four years, being first in this important respect. 
Resists Corn Borers—G-37 offers an unusual degree of corn 
borer protection. It can also produce a good crop despite 
chinch bug and rootworm attacks. G-37 develops a 
medium rough ear. Kernels are well dented, and the 
strain is preferred by many livestock farmers.
