cones into the pockets of corn growers in the 
ast. 
The Hoffman Proving Grounds very quickly 
demonstrated that for certain conditions in the 
East, no Mid-Western hybrid could be adapted. 
So from experience and observation, Hoffman 
Research men laid down specifications for Funk 
G breeders to meet. The crosses made by the 
vast Funk breeding staff are put into these 
Proving Ground plote—tested and improved— 
till they have demonstrated they can give top 
results under a given set of conditions. 

ANOTHER REASON WHY THE 
FUNK G GROWER IS ALWAYS AHEAD 
These points have been invaluable to the man 
who wants good corn. But they do not consti- 
tute ALL the benefits the grower of Funk G 
Hybrids is receiving. 
The perfect corn has never been bred. But 
Hoffman-Funk men are constantly working to- 
ward perfect corn—and the Hoffman Proving 
Ground plots are providing a vast supply of 
most important farm information for them. 
Thus, Funk G Hybrids are being continuously 
strengthened and improved. In some cases, new 
G numbers have replaced older hybrid-crosses 
to give customers even better production. Be- 
cause of this non-stop Research program, the 
Funk G Hybrid user always has the right hybrid 
AND he always has the latest and best improve- 
ments that constant efforts are making available 
to him.
