Your Funk’s G-Hybrid Seed Corn Is Ready 
PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW 
Funk’s G-Hybrid seed corn for spring 
planting is ready for you now. This 
seed is the product of many years of 
effort to give youa better kind of corn. 
Here are four reasons why Funk’s G 
helps you increase your corn produc- 
tion and your corn growing profits: 
@ Funk’s G-Hybrid is able to resist 
drouth better than open-pollinated 
corn. 
@ Funk’s G-Hybrid can take better 
advantage of applied fertilizer or 
a high level of soil fertility. 
@® Funk’s G-Hybrid is much more 
disease-resistant than native open- 
pollinated strains of corn. 
@ Funk’s G-Hybrid produces higher 
yields per acre than open-pollinated 
corn. That means more profit, with- 
out additional work. 

Here's the kind of production you can expect when 
you plant Funk’s G-Hybrids developed especially for 
your locality. 
Every season more and more farmers in this area want Funk’s G- 
Hybrid seed corn. We take care of first customers first, so we suggest 
that you place your order now for the Funk’s G-Hybrid seed you will 
want in the spring. Write us today and we will set aside the quan- 
tity of seed you request. 
Now Kind of Seed Corn Production and 
Processing for Southern Farmers 
Our customers report yield increases with Funk G-Hybrid ranging from 10 to 
30 bushels per acre. This increase is partly due to the capacity of G-Hybrids to 
produce ears on every stalk. Hybrid breeding has largely eliminated the open- 
pollinated tendency to barrenness. 
The largest yield increases are reported on better fertility levels with the G- 
Hybrid planted slightly thicker than native varieties. An important advantage is 
their dependability under unfavorable conditions. 
Production and processing of hybrid seed corn by modern standards is a year- 
long job. Some of the important steps are: 
iy 
nN 
Seed fields of high fertility are selected well in advance of planting time. These 
fields must be isolated from other corn fields so that hybrid seed can be kept pure. 
. Seed fields are detasseled by hand and under careful supervision. The final step 
in mating pure corn lines is done in the seed field and care is taken to see that 
tassels are pulled from seed ear parent plants before they have a chance to 
shed pollen. In this way the only source of pollen is from the pollinator rows. 
_ Seed is taken from the fields as quickly as possible after it is mature. During 
the processing job, the tiny living germ in the seed is ‘‘put to sleep” so that 
its energy will be saved to grow a strong vigorous plant in the spring. 
_ Seed ears are carefully inspected to make sure that every one of them is up to 
satisfactory standards. 
. Drying the seed from normal field moisture down to “dry corn” level is one 
of the most important steps in the handling of Funk’s G-Hybrid Seed. Moisture 
is reduced to about 12 percent, making the seed practically immune to damage 
from any ordinary temperature. 
After drying, our seed is shelled and run through machines that take out the 
cracked or light kernels. Other machines divide kernels into standard uniform 
sizes and shapes. Uniform grading enables you to plant more quickly and easily. 
Our Funk’s G-Hybrid seed is treated to discourage seedling disease, a service 
that is especially important to Southern corn farmers. 
Germination tests are made at regular intervals before the seed is delivered to 
you. These tests guarantee that the seed you plant is capable of producing a 
vigorous stand. 
Our high standards of seed corn grading and processing is another big 
reason why Funk’s G-Hybrids are CONSISTENTLY GOOD...YEAR AFTER YEAR

HERE’S PROOF 
Following are some of the numerous letters 
which we have received from growers right in 
this region—proving that Funk’s G-Hybrids give 
the top-notch yields and performance that you 
like to see. 
“We were well pleased with Funk’s G-Hybrid in the F.F.A. Contest. 
First place was won with a yield of 77 bushels per acre using your 
hybrid. In the adult group, first place was taken also by your hybrid 
with a yield of 97 bushels per acre.” 
R. G. CHRISTOPHER, JR., Landrum, South Carolina 
“A number of my adult farmers and F.F.A. boys planted Funk's ‘G'’ 
seed corn this past spring. In all cases the acre yield was better than 
any other corn grown in this section of Spartanburg County.” 
J. C. FOSTER (Teacher of Vocational Ag.), Granding, South Carolina 
‘| sure was pleased with your new seed corn. | gathered one-third 
more per acre.” 
W. V. WYATT, Ducusville, South Carolina 
‘| got almost double the yield from your seed than from any other 
corn | have ever planted.” 
J. J. EVANS, Rockingham, North Carolina 
‘lam well pleased with the results secured from your seed corn. It 
made 75 bushels per acre compared with 40 bushels from the local 
seed corn. We had a bad storm the last of August, which blew all the 
corn down, but | found the hybrid less damaged than the local variety.” 
PAUL L. SMITH, Oakboro, North Carolina 
“lam the vocational agricultural teacher at East Arcadia High School. 
| have used your hybrid corn for three years with both my agricultural 
students and adult group, and | am very happy to report that in both 
cases the yield was increased by 20 per cent.” 
W. D. WHITE, Acme, North Carolina 
“| like your hybrid corn. It seems to stand drouth and wind better than 
other corn.” 
C. L. BENNETT, Jefferson, Georgia 
“We have established corn contest clubs in ten of the adjoining counties. 
In each case your G-714 won. The demand for G-714 is going to be 
pretty big this season.” 
CLIFF ROGERS, Social Circle, Georgia
