Corn, to make you the best profit, must be adapted to 
your own soil, climate and growing conditions. DeKalb 
Corn breeders have paid special attention to developing 
varieties that fit conditions in Virginia and West Vir- 
ginia, and these varieties have been thoroughly tested 
and proved four times before release to farmers. First, 
these DeKalb varieties are tested in DeKalb’s four 

breeding stations; second, on adaptation test farms; 
third, on regional, practical test fields, and finally on 
hundreds of dealers’ proving grounds. Such an exacting 
testing program assures a high degree of adaptability 
Corn that is built for your own farm—Corn that you 
can depend upon to produce high, consistent, average 
yields.
