HIGH YIELDS—SOFT STARCH KERNELS 
In northern Iowa Pioneer 326 has averaged exactly the same yield for the last 
3 years as 322—ears the same length with softer kernel texture. Moisture 
F I 0 NE E R content about one half way between 353 and 322—a little lower eared than 
322 and averages quite a few less broken stalks. Appearance of ears and 
3 2 plants have both been slightly better than 322. Pioneer 326 was included in 
the 1943 northern Iowa Pioneer popularity test. It ranked “second” in popu- 
larity among 8 hybrids tested—'’good” in ear appearance and “fair” in 
hand husking.

MEDIUM EAR HEIGHT—ABUNDANT YIELDS 
Pioneer 339 has a higher four year (1940-1943) yield average in Central Iowa 
than any other Pioneer commercial hybrid except 300, which is exactly the 
P i 0 NE E R same but about a week later. Ears which hang at medium height compared 
to other hybrids of its maturity are of good quality and appearance—are of 
3 39 good length with relatively soft kernel texture. Resistant to both root and 
stalk lodging. In the 1943, Central Iowa Pioneer popularity test, Pioneer 339 
rated “average” on ear appearance——'’good” with mechanical picker and 
“very easy’ to husk by hand. During the growing season it has a rather 
light green plant color.
