ADAPTATION—Here’s a famous G-Hybrid adapted to 
a wide range of soil and weather. It is full season in 
the southern part of Region 3, medium to full season 
in Region 4, and early in Region 5. 
Cornbelt farmer Harry Overgard raises G-Hybrids. He has 
found that his purebred Hampshire ewes produce better lambs 
and maintain their condition better on Funk’s G Hybrids. 
EASY TO RAISE, GOOD TO FEED 
“Funk’s G-53 is the best hybrid I’ve ever raised,”’ says Merle 
Crabb, Macomb, IIl., farmer who has been raising G-Hybrids 
nearly ten years. “It’s hard to believe, but G-53 can stand a 
wet spring and then endure severe drouth in the summer. It 
stands up under chinch bugs, too.” Mr. Crabb, a purebred 
Shorthorn breeder, says of G-53’s feeding qualities, “It’s a 
good feeding corn and not hard or flinty like so many hybrids.” 
PRODUCES HEAVY YIELDS 
Under favorable conditions, G-53 has for years turned in tre- 
mendous yields, frequently 100 bushels an acre or more. Even 
under less favorable conditions, this hybrid will produce a 
heavy yield. Its single ear is carried low on a strong stalk which 
attains a medium height. Its resistance to drouth and cold is 
remarkable. Good standability will make harvesting easier. 
Kernels are deep and noted for their fine feeding quality. 
A STUDY IN ROOTS 
The drouth resistance of G-53 can be traced to its superior 
roots. Here is a root system of this popular G-Hybrid (left) 
compared with a competitive strain of corn.
