belt. Record yields prove beyond a shadow of 
doubt that itis a front ranking Hybrid in any 
section where it is adapted. 
Illinois and Iowa tests show it high in pro- 
duction on different types of soils. It made front 
ranking position on soils of high, medium and 
low productivity. We know of no finer Hybrid

eared variety. Has a deep golden color. Well 
dented kernels, modérately rough. Has strong 
stalks and roots. Ears hang on well although 
it is not difficult to shuck. This is really a

This is early maturing corn. Grow- 
ers in southern Wisconsin tell us 
Wis. 641 is going to be a leader with 
big corn growers. In 1944 the yields 
exceeded some of the highly adver- 
tised varieties selling for ‘$2.00 to 
$3.00 bu. more money. One grower 
told us Wis, 641 matures under nor- 
mal conditions as early in southern 
Wisconsin, as other Hybrids matur- 
ing in 107 to 110 days. The husks 
tend to open and the ears dry out 
quickly, Is distinguished for long 
sound ears, easy husking and high 
yield. Is an excellent feeding and 
cribbing corn. Is grown just over 
the line from Illinois. Wis. 641 is 
adapted for planting in southern 
one-fourth part of Wis., northern 
part of Tilinois. Also southern Mich- 
igan, northern Indiana, northern 
part Ohio, northern half Pennsyl- 
vania and on-east in some latitude.

U. S. 138 is adapted over a wide area. In 
Ohio, U. S. 13 was the highest yielding Hybrid 
in official state tests in sections 9, 10, 11 and 
12, which are located in the southern half of 
that state. It also was top ranking in west 
central Illinois state test. It yielded 24 bushel 
per acre more than the average open pollinated 
in the same test. 
Has a wonderful record from Nebraska to 
Connecticut and south into Kentucky and other 
states. Here are some recorded yields of offi- 
cial state tests: 
Iowa 108.4 bu. per acre; Ohio 123 bu.; Illinois 
112.6: bu.; Indiana 103.2 bu.; Pennsylvania 97.7 
bu.; Missouri 121 bu. 
This shows the wide area to which this Corn 
is adapted. A customer from west céntral In- 
diana wrote us he planted our U.. 8. 13 on 62 
acres and obtained a yield of 6,072 bushels of 
fine corn. It is a vigorous grower and is re- 
sistant to drought, chineh bugs and disease.

pedigree is (WF9 x Hy) (A x Tr). 
It has stiff stalks, medium height, 
disease resistance to common organ- 
isms. Among Hybrids of similar 
maturity, Indiana 608 is among the 
top of all Hybrids grown in some 
locations in that state. It yields 
100.9 bu. per acre in northern In- 
diana state test. 
The last few years Indiana 608 
has been very popular in Iowa, es- 
pecially in central Iowa and north

where within 40 miles of the Wis- 
eonsin line. Indiana anywhere in 
central and northern part of the
