IN NORTH CENTRAL AREA 
Famous for its Standability 



Some people call it “‘intestinal fortitude.’’ Others 
call it simply “‘guts.”’ Anyway, in G-114, it’s 
the ability to stand up against the beating that 
the North Central Corn Belt often hands out in 
weather and in insect attacks. Against cold spring 
dampness... Against scorching summer drouth 
. . . Against blasting wind . . . Against corn 
borers and other insect enemies, G-114 comes 
through. Even when harvest is long delayed, 
G-114 stands, firmly erect. In Iowa 4-year tests, 
its percentage of lodging was lowest (2.9%) of 
any strain entered. And it yields with the best. 
G-114 foliage stays green after the ear starts to 
mature, making the extra starch necessary to 
finish both a heavy ear and strong stalk. (As 
illustrated in the picture at the top of the page). 
G-114 STANDABILITY . . . This photograph, made 
after a March snowstorm, shows how well the rugged 
stalks of G-114 withstand the tough winter weather of 
the Northern Corn Belt without lodging or breaking. 
The photograph was taken in a field near North- 
brook, Ill., not far from the Wisconsin state line. 17
