Here are two pages 
giving reasons why 
this fine Funk G 
Hybrid Seed is 
pleasing so many 
thousands of corn 
farmers—so very 
much! 
First ... the seed is BRED RIGHT. Built into every 
Funk G Hybrid are extra good qualities. By fore- 
most corn breeders—an outstanding staff, with 
headquarters and breeding nurseries at Blooming- 
ton, Illinois. Linked with leading practical corn 
farmers in all sections where corn is raised. A vast 
storehouse of corn knowledge is gathered each 
year. New blood-lines are constantly sought for, 
and as good new ones are located—the real scien- 
tific work begins. Years of inbreeding follow... 
to eliminate whatever undesirable traits might be 
present. Then follow years of cross-breeding to 
establish proper mating qualities. And finally an- 
other good Funk G Hybrid results. Painstaking, 
most careful, thorough watch is kept all along the 
line, through each generation. Then after once it 
is made, the new G Hybrid must be given its years 
of trial to see exactly what performance will result. 
All of this (and much more technical care and 
watching) precedes every Funk G Hybrid. Then 
comes the second important reason why these fine 
Funk G Hybrids are pleasing so many Eastern 
corn men so very much... it is the vast 
HOFFMAN PROVING PROGRAM TO

Control Brown Rot and Scab on Fruit 
To prevent brown rot and scab infection on fruit, 
twigs, and leaves, start spraying immediately and, if pos- 
sible, complete coverage within a week. 
Use one of the following sulphur fungicides: A wet- 
table sulphur according to manufacturer’s directions, or 
self-boiled lime sulphur 16-16-100 (16 pounds burned 
lime, 16 pounds sulphur about 100-150 mesh, in 100 
gallons of water). Where brown rot is severe, self- 
boiled lime sulphur usually gives better control. 
Thoroughly cover the fruit, leaves, and smaller twigs 
with a fine mist spray. Avoid using too much pressure 
against the foliage. To avoid burning, spray only when 
Fahrenheit in the shade. 
the temperature is below 85° 
Here is shown one of the many Hoffman PROVING plots 
—conducted every year in each corn zone of the East. 
To insure one main thing—that you get the RIGHT Funk 
G Hybrid for your circumstances. Whether it is for 
husking, for silage, or for both.
