HYBRID SEED CORN. The following definitions 
and eligibility requirements are established for 
hybrid corn: 
1. An INBRED LINE is a line of corn that 
has been developed as a result of not less 
than five generations of controlled self-pollina- 
tion. 
2. A SINGLE CROSS is the first generation of 
a hybrid between two inbred lines. 
3. A FOUNDATION HYBRID is a “‘single 
cross’? which is to be used in the production 
of hybrids containing more than two inbred 
lines. 
4. A COMMERCIAL HYBRID is one to be 
planted for the production of feed or for any 
other commercial or farm use except for seed. 
It may be any one of the following: 
(a) A Double Cross—the first generation of 
a cross between two “foundation hy- 
brids’”’ (single crosses). 
A Three-Way Cross—the first generation 
of a cross between a ‘foundation hy- 
brid” and an “inbred line.’’ 
A Single Cross—when the single cross 
is to be used for commercial production 
and not for the production of “double’’ 
or “‘three-way”’ crosses. 
A Top-Cross—the first generation of a 
cross between an ‘‘inbred line’? and an 
open-pollinated variety.
