Growers of 
Big Corn 
Acreages, 
Medium Size 
or Small- 

THEy ARE ALL WAY ese 
Throughout ten states of the East, many of the largest 
farms plant Funk G Hybrids year after year. These large- 
scale operators have to get results. Plants like Walker- 
Gordon Dairies, for example, must depend on large yields 
from their corn fields to feed their specialized herds. 
These big growers don’t take our word—or anybody else's 
word, on which Hybrid can be depended upon to give 
them what they need year after year. They make their 
own investigations and they have found out, by direct 
yield comparison, that it pays them to plant Funk G 
Hybrids. 
But what of the fellow who puts in 10 to 20 acres to corn 
each year? His corn crop is just as vital to him as to the 
big outfit. It’s just as necessary to him to get dependable 
yields for his crib and silo. Thousands of men, like those 
pictured above, have found it pays them, too, to invest in 
Hoffman Funk G Hybrid seed. These men can’t afford the 

acres, nor the time, to do their own experimenting. They 
had to plant their first Funk G Hybrids in faith. But year 
after year of experience leaves no room for doubt in their 
minds that they are way ahead with Hoffman Funk G 
Hybrids. 
Non-Stop Research Keeps 
the FUNK G User in Front 
Two important factors have been responsible for Funk G 
results: (1) the breeding behind the.seed; (2) the local 
proving grounds that assure the right G number for every 
user, 
The gigantic root systems, the strong stalks, the jungle- 
like growth of extra wide leaves that constitute the manu- 
facturing plant of the Funk G Hybrid are basic bred-in 
advantages to every planter of these Hybrids. Research was 
responsible for those advantages in the beginning. Re- 
search is strengthening those characteristics every year— 
and providing other charactertistics to meet special con- 
ditions. 
Good as were the results from the first Funk G Hybrids 
Photo at left shows “Les” Hug at husking time in one of the high-altitude, 
short-season, hand-planted Funk G research plots (this one in northern 
Indiana County, Pa., at 1,600 feet elevation). Accurate comparison of 
varieties is made throughout the growing season .. . notes made on early 
vigor, standability, resistance to drought, disease, and insects. Finally, 
each variety is husked and weighed separately, moisture samples taken, 
and all weights corrected to actual yield of dry shelled corn. 
Based on the wealth of corn information this work has given him and 
his staff during the past 11 years, “Les” knows just what hybrid will do 
the best job on your farm. There’s no guesswork about his recommenda- 
tions . . . with this test work as his guide, he’ll send you the corn that is 
“tailor-made” for your conditions.
