MATURITY—Kingscrost KEI has been found ideal in 
maturity for the 90 day area of the states in the above 
map. It is approximately the same maturity as open 
polinated Haney Strain Minnesota No. 13. 
South of the 90 day area down to Central Iowa it is 
being very successfully used for special pur poses such 
as extra early turkey feed, early hogging off or where 
June plantings are required. 
15.7% MOISTURE IN EARLY OCTOBER. In 1943 that 
was the record of KE] on a Page, North Dakota farm. 
This farmer's entire crop of 300 acres of Kingscrost KE] 
shelled and shipped at 15.7% moisture before October 
15. It’s performance like this which has placed Kings- 
crost KE1 well out in front as a most popular early hy- 
brid. Farmers like its dark green vigorous plants, its 
sturdy stocks and the easy way it picks mechanically. 
Above all, Kingscrost KE1 is their choice when it comes 
to the all-important feature of high yield with rapid 
release of moisture for early cribbing. 
MATURITY—A new hybrid for farm- 
ers requiring the rapid maturity of a 
95 day type. This new Kingscrost 
hybrid has been tested and proven 
a remarkable improvement for the 
95 to 97 day areas of the Dakotas, 
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. 
EXCELLENT FALL STANDABILITY. In 
Kingscrost KA Northrup, King & Co.’s corn breeders 
have combined to a new high the all-important factors 
f early maturity, high yield and standability rarely 
een in a hybrid of such earliness. The large, easily- 
handled plants of KA produce big ears like hybrids of 
a much later maturity. Farmers who have seen this corn 
for the first time predict a great future for the new 
Kingscrost hybrid KA. 
Kingscrost A6é has been a long time 
favorite with farmers in the 95 day 
section of the above map. Its popu- 
larity has been won by its many prof- 
itable qualities which include large 
leafy plants, dependable earliness and 
deep kerneled soft starch ears.
