KINGSCROST 
HYBRIDS 

MATURITY—Kingscrost KR is principally adapted to 
the northern half of the area outlined in the map on 
the opposite page. For Southernmost Minnesota, Wis- 
consin, Michigan and Southeastern South Dakota and 
Northern Iowa it has demonstrated excellent adapta- 
tion to the varying climate and soil types. 
“SHELLING OVER-RUN” A COMMON THING. Here is 
a hybrid with such unusual kernel depth that farmers 
frequently underestimate its yield until they actually 
shell it. These deep kerneled ears held on short shanks 
at a convenient height for picking are highly resistant 
to ear droppage—a robber of time, yield and energy. 
Kingscrost KR is a fast spring grower, establishing itself 
well ahead of many corns during cold springs. Farmers 
in Western lowa and South Dakota have found it re- 
sistant to drought and they say that its ability to with- 
stand both summer lodging and fall stalk breakage is 
particularly valuable. 
MATURITY—A few days earlier than 
Kingscrost KR, this hybrid can be 
used as a full season type in the 105 
day areas. Recommended for the 
most northern portion of the area 
outlined on the map. 
RIPE EARS ON GREEN STALKS. A real 
sight is a field of KO in late August. 
Ears are turning brown while green vigorous plants are 
still filled with life. These live green plants will insure 
plump ripe kernels and a sturdy stalk to see the crop 
through the hazards of fall storms. The rapid-drying, 
large ears of KO produce big yields that can be cribbed 
as early as most 105 day hybrids. 

BIG DIFFERENCE .. . 
Last spring | planted your Kingscrost KR hybrid corn and was 
very well pleased with the yield and husking qualities. The 
big difference from other corn that we noticed was the loosen- 
ing of the husk and the easy husking of your corn. We like 
your Kingscrost corn very well.
