1309 FUNK’S G-114—YELLOW 
Some people call it “intestinal fortitude.’ Others 
eall it simply “guts.” Anyway, in G-114, it’s the 
ability to stand up against the beating that the 
North Central Corn Belt often hands out in weather 
and in insect attacks. Against cold spring damp- 
ness. ... Against scorching summer drouth.... 
Against blasting wind. ... Against corn borers and 
other insect enemies, G-114 comes through. Even 
when harvest is long delayed, G-114 stands, firmly 
erect. In Iowa 4-year tests, its percentage of lodg- 
ing was lowest (2.9%) of any strain entered. And 
it yields with the pest. G-114 foliage stays green 
after the ear starts to mature, making the extra 
starch necessary to finish both a heavy ear and a 
strong stalk,
