Standability - 
Listed below are the 
varieties of Kingscrost 
Hybrid Corn together 
with brief descriptions 
of their maturity and 
characteristics. See 
your KX dealer and 
select one or more of 
these star performers 
for your farm. 

NORTHRUP KING &' 
MN EAC OL(S NE 
KINGSCROST KY Recommend- 
ed for the northern half of Iowa, north- 
east Nebraska, northern Illinois and northern 
Indiana. Its relative maturity is 115 days. KY 
is noted for its resistance to stalk breakage, 
lodged plants and dropped ears. It is easy to 
pick in dry weather and has that new feature 
—short type, 
growth. KY is a heavy yielder and a good corn 
convenient -to-handle_ plant 
for feeding. 
KINGSCROST KR Recommend- 
ed for southern Minnesota and north- 
southeast South Dakota, 
Wisconsin and southern Michigan. The relative 
ern Iowa, southern 
maturity of KR is 110 days. It has a vigorous 
germination and a healthy uniform plant 
growth which insures better stands and higher 
yields. It greatly resists summer lodging, fall 
stalk breakage and ear-droppage. Farmers in- 
variably report overruns at shelling time on 
their early season estimates of Kingscrost KR 
yields. 
KINGSCROST KN Recommend- 
ed for south-central Minnesota, south- 
central Wisconsin, south-central Michigan and 
eastern South Dakota. It has a 105 day relative 
maturity. Kingscrost KN is remarkable for its 
early spring growth and its yielding ability. It 
has a moderate length ear with outstanding 
kernel] depth. Other advantages are its deep 
roots, disease resistant stalks and tolerance to 
the corn borer. 
for Proper Maturity - High Yield - High Feeding Value 
Ease In Harvesting - Profit 
KINGSCROST KS Recommend- 
ed through south-central and central 
Minnesota, central Wisconsin, central Michigan 
and northeastern South Dakota. Relative ma- 
turity 100 days. Kingscrost KS has been devel- 
oped on an entirely new hybridizing principle, 
yielding as much as many hybrids which are 
10 days later in maturity and surpassing them 
in standability. It has a short plant without loss 
of forage for ensilage and produces high qual- 
ity, rapid drying ears of unusual length which 
can be cribbed with a large margin of safety. 
KINGSCROST Aé6 A long time 
favorite with farmers in the 95 day 
maturity sections. It produces considerably 
larger plants and higher grain yields than 
early strains of Minnesota No. 13. Kernels are 
dry and high in soft starch. Because of its 
large leafy plants Kingscrost A6 is recom- 
mended for either extra early ensilage or grain 
purposes. 
KINGSCROST KEI 90 day rela- 
the 
same maturity as Haney Strain Minnesota No. 
13. The most valuable feature of this hybrid is 
tive maturity or approximately 
the fact that it combines earliness with excep- 
tional plant size and large grain yield. This 
combination of high yields of both grain and 
fodder appeal to most northern farmers who 
feed the entire corn plant. 
KINGSCROST KE2 Comparable 
to Falconer and Thorp strain Minnesota 
No. 13 with relative maturity of 85 days. Out- 
standing qualities of Kingscrost KE2 are its 
rapid seedling growth (a most valuable feature 
in the cold spring areas of the north), excep- 
adaptation to 
tional resistance to lodging, 
mechanical picking, and large yield.
