OPEN-POLLINATED TYPES OF FIELD CORN 
There is no question about strong Hoff- 
man recommendation to all corn grow- 
ers of the fine producing Funk G 
Hybrids—offered preceding pages. Yet 
for those who will still plant the regular 
old type, open-pollinated corn—here 
are a number of kinds for their choice. 
“Lancaster County Sure Crop’’— 
Since 1912 more of this corn has been 
planted than all other old type corns 
combined. Ears long and big, with yel- 
low grains high in protein. Cobs thin, 
12 to 16 rows. Grains are somewhat 
square and don't leave gaps between 
rows. About a bushel of corn to 66 to 
68 pounds of ears. Stalks tall. Develops 
and matures medium early. Doesn't de- 
mand rich soil. Used well into the North. 
‘“Long’s Champion Yellow’’—Too 
late for corn in Northern sections. In 
Southeastern Pennsylvania produces 
big ears with deep yellow grains. In 
Northern Pennsylvania and New Eng- 
land is used only for silage. Don't plant 
it on poor soil. 
“White Cap Yellow Dent’’— 
Medium season corn for Southern Penn- 
sylvania, New Jersey and Ohio (except 
in higher altitudes). A good yielder. 
Ears white, but sides show yellow. Ears 
compact, cob not too large, grains good 
size. 
“West Branch Sweepstakes’’— 
Grows dependable fodder. It will never 
take a prize—ears run all colors from 
red to yellow, but some dairymen like 
it for silage feed. 
“Red Cob White Ensilage’’— 
Virginia-grown ensilage type. Stalks 
have short joints, numerous leaves. 
White corn on a red cob.

“Improved Leaming’’ —Rough and 
ready” type. Good on poorer soils— 
also on well-drained, fertile land. Grain 
is rich yellow, good depth. Ear well 
filled. Red cob, medium size, 14 to 18 
rows. Good fodder. 
‘Golden Queen’’—Yellow corn, high 
feed value, sizeable ears. Medium grain. 
Matures mid-season to late. Tall, well- 
leafed fodder, but won't mature in 
Northern counties. 
““Early Yellow Leaming’’—Classed 
as early corn for higher locations. Small 
ears, small cobs with grains of good 
size coming low on stalk. 
““Eureka Ensilage’’— Very late type. 
Too late for grain in the North. Seed 
scarce. Several Funk G Hybrids much 
more desirable. 
‘“8-Row Yellow Flint’’— Still wanted 
by some where season is too short for 
the standard type corns. Eight rows of 
yellow grains on ears which run 9 to 
11 inches long. 

Increase corn yield from 5 to 15 per 
cent! You've noticed how stunted some 
plants get—the result of attacks by 
fungi and molds, especially in cold, wet 
weather. New, improved "“Semesan Jr.” 
controls such diseases before they start. 
Checks root and stalk rotting. Improves 
stands. Apply this powder to seed. Cost 
12 to 2% cents per acre. Finest crop 
insurance. See price list.
