This is a planting of open-pollinated corn. 
Shown below is a planting of HYBRID 
seed corn in the same field.

This is HYBRID corn grown in the same 
field. Note the excellent weed control, 
tall plants and high ears. It will pay you 
to study this comparison. 
EVERETT'S 
The Leader in 
Southern Hybrids 
20 
New Southern grown 
Hybrids far superior to 
open-pollinated kinds 
A great deal of important work has 
been done on HYBRID corns in the 
South for the past several years and the 
most important single thing brought out 
by this research work was that only 
Hybrids developed and adapted for the 
South are successful in the South. There 
are many, many different Hybrid Corns 
but only a few varieties are ADAPTED 
FOR THE SOUTH. Only those that are 
bred for Southern conditions will be 
successful in the South. 
Experiment Station, private experimental 
tests and actual farmer field tests now 
conclusively prove that adapted Hybrid 
corns are fast replacing and far supe- 
rior to most open-pollinated varieties for 
the South. 
If you are not already convinced that 
Hybrid Corn is really ‘‘Up and Coming” 
in the South, then please consult your 
County Agent or Vocational Agricultural 
teacher or the Department of Extension, 
Athens, Georgia, or the Georgia Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station, Experiment, 
Georgia. 
Better Root Systems 
Hybrid Corn is different from regular or 
open-pollinated com. Hybrids have the 
good qualities of several strong strains 
bred into them. One of the main char- 
acteristics bred into Southern Hybrid 
Corns is the extensive feeder root sys- 
tem. As a result of this, these Hybrids 
can consume more fertilizer and can be 
planted much thicker in the drill than 
ordinary corn. Specialists are recom- 
mending that 500 to 8C0 pounds of 
good _ high-grade fertilizer be applied 
per acre and that the Hybrid Corn be 
planted in the drill and spaced 12 
inches apart. The distance between 
rows is naturally standard, as you 
would plant for any corn. A later top 
dressing of 200 pounds of Nitrate of 
Soda per acre is recommended. After 
careful investigation of trials and results 
conducted throughout the South, we are 
convinced that the varieties of Hybrids 
offered below are the ones that are 
best suited and adapted for the South- 
eastern section (excepting the Coastal 
Plains and Florida). For most of Geor- 
gia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Caro- 
lina and South Carolina, we strongly 
recommend your choice of one of the 
following Hybrid Corns: 
Varieties of Hybrids 
TENNESSEE 10 is a white corn with a 
red cob and is one of the very best of 
the Hybrids, having two to three ears 
per plant on good soil; very stiff stalk 
that resists lodging. ‘Foliage is dark 
green and heavy. Long ears and deep 
grains. Good shuck coverage. Price 
$9.00 per bushel. 
TENNESSEE 14 Best yielder in the 
South, according to many tests, having 
two to three ears on good soil and 

mostly two on medium soil. Good shuck 
coverage. It is a white com with a red 
cob. Price $9.00 per bushel. 
TENNESSEE 15 is a white corn with a 
red cob and one of the most popular 
throughout the Southeast. It is a heavy 
yielder, making two to three ears per 
plant on good soil and two ears on 
medium soil. It has a good-sized grain 
and shells out exceedingly well. Good 
shuck coverage. Price $9.00 per bushel. 
DIXIE 44 is a yellow corn with white 
cob, somewhat prolific on good soil. 
Should average two ears on medium 
soil. One of the best yielders in the 
yellow Hybrids. Strong stalk, resisting 
lodging has dark green leaves. This is 
reported to us as an outstanding per- 
former and is the result of cooperative 
work by several Southern Experiment 
Stations. Price $10.00 per bushel. 
FUNK'S G-708. This is a popular yel- 
low Hybrid recommended for the North- 
erm half of Georgia and Piedmont and 
mountain areas, and North and South 
Carolina. Prolific under favorable con- 
ditions and a good yielder even under 
adversity. Strong stalk and will with- 
stand many storms. Price $9.90 per 
bushel. 
FUNK'S G-714. A yellow Hybrid 
adapted to all of the South except the 
mountain areas of the Carolinas and 
Tennessee. It is prolific in type and has 
a good, strong stalk and a long, tight 
husk, resistant to drought and does well 
on upland. Price $9.90 per bushel. 
FUNK’'S G-717. A yellow Hybrid that 
withstands drought because of its deep 
root system. It is medium early and can 
be planted later than some of the other 
hybrids. A high yielder and prolific. 
Price $9.90 per bushel. 
NOTE: The above Hybrids are adapted 
and recommended for the Southeast, 
excepting the Coastal Plains section 
and Florida. 
Grow the right HYBRID corn and make 
each acre earn more.
