Consider, first, why a hybrid is supposed to do better than the old-fashioned, 
random-pollinated corn. The answer is because it is a corn purposely put 
together to do a better job under a specific set of conditions. Note there are 
TWO things necessary for top hybrid results. The breeder must know how 
to “put together” the right combination of parentage (the right combination 
is so important, many corn blood lines just won't co-operate). And the hybrid 
must be used under the EXACT conditions for which it was bred. 
On these two necessities is where Funk G Hybrids begin to differ from 
other hybrids. 
In the Mid-West, stronghold of hybrid corn, selection is not a complex 
problem. In broad belts across whole states, the breeder can safely recom- 
mend several hybrids, and conditions will be so nearly similar that most any 
of them will do an excellent job. 
Here in the East is an entirely different problem. In some sections of 
Pennsylvania alone there are spots several hundred rods apart that require 
hybrids as widely varied as those grown in southern Illinois and northern 
Minnesota. Certain Mid-West hybrid breeders need only a few different 
hybrid combinations to meet all conditions they have ever faced. To meet 
crib and silage needs in the entirely different conditions in the East, Hoffman 
has required, a range of some twenty G numbers. 
Do you begin to see WHY Funk G users are ALWAYS AHEAD? 
Hoffman is the ONE organization conducting a. gigantic research program 
in the East year after year, pointing toward the development of hybrids to 
meet these exacting Eastern conditions. 
Funk G Hybrids are the ONLY hybrids with a definite breeding program 
to meet the needs exposed by this continuous on-the-ground research.

and Funk G was the best. The others

hybrid early next year, for Funk G is

“1 believe my Funk G Silage Hybrid 
averaged at least 5 tons more per 
acre than any of the 5 other hybrids 
husky, to pull one stalk out of the 
ground; I have pulled small trees 
easier. It’s some corn. We like it.”—

“1 am using Funk G-94 Hybrid Corn 
since 1938 and every year since | am 
using two samples of different varie- 
ties, and | am telling the agents selling 
the hybrid corn as soon as I can find 
a corn that beats Funk G-94, I'll be a 
regular customer, but for nine years it 
wasn’t beat on my _ farm.”—A. F.
