IT PAYS TO PLANT HYBRID CORNS 
U.S. 13 
110 to 115 days. This hybrid is so well known that it hardly needs description. Despite a 
marked increase in the demand for certain other Corns, this one is still sold in larger quantity 
than any other single hybrid. Proof of its continuing popularity and demand has just come to 
light through a report of the Certification agency of the State of Iowa, the leading Corn State 
of the nation. 
Figures just released show that (of a total of 51 Corns) the number of acres of U. S. 13 
certified during the last six years—1941 to 1946—was, with one exception (Iowa 939), about 
double that of the next most popular hybrid. It was three times that of the fourth highest on 
the entire list, and about 30% of the total of 51 Corns. 
We are reliably informed that a great many of the ‘“‘closed formula” (or private) Corns sold 
throughout the country are, in reality, U. S. 13. What better proof could we have of its all- 
round merit?

GORN EAR WORM 
DROPS 
The time has arrived when con- 
trol of corn ear worm is necessary. 
At least control of this pest will 
greatly increase your yield. Ogen’s 
Corn Ear Worm Drops are simple 
to apply and will do a good job. 
See page 31. 
As we have pointed out in former years, its popularity stems from the fact that it meets the 
fancy and requirements of a vast majority of farmers. Relatively few farmers, in full maturity 
areas, desire either an early or a late Corn. Nor do they want a very large or very small fodder 
or ear, or hard or soft kernel. This Corn is ‘‘medium”? in all respects, hence yields well in a 
wide range of soil fertility and weather conditions. 
U.S. 99 
120 to 125 days. Large-foddered hybrid, 
hence requires longer time for full maturity. 
Stalks do not grow tall but are thick, with 
broad blades. Enjoys favorable reputation 
as a silage Corn. Kernels smooth and light 
yellow. Our stock of seed was produced by 
John 8. Ward. 
IOWA 939 
100 days. As intimated in comments on 
U.S. 18, it was second highest in number of 
acres of hybrids certified in Iowa over the 
past six years, thereby evidencing its popu- 
larity. Owing to short season maturity, is 
somewhat smaller foddered and eared than 
most hybrids. Thus far it has been our best 
seller in West Virginia and other sections 
phe the growing season is comparatively 
short. 
ILLINOIS 200 
120 days. Stalk somewhat larger than 
OHIO W. 17 
U. 8. 13. Ear is longer, but slightly smaller 
in circumference. Best results are obtained 
on fertile or bottom soils. Has given high 
yields, even under adverse weather conditions. 
Easy to husk and of excellent quality. 
ILLINOIS 448 
120 days. A high-yielding hybrid of wide 
adaptability. Stalks very tall and stiff, wind 
resistant, producing two long yellow ears of 
medium diameter. Kernels closely packed, 
medium depth, with high shelling percentage. 
HYBRID SEED 
100 to 110 days. Another comparatively 
early hybrid. Stalks medium in height, leafy 
and uniform. Produces medium ears, 16 to 18 
rows of shallow kernels. Stalk remains green 
after husks have ripened on the ear. Is widely 
used in West Virginia where the season 1s 
shorter than in the Valley and eastern Vir- 
ginia. Is also appropriate for either late plant- 
ing in full season areas, or where very early 
harvesting is desired. 
Repeated tests have demonstrated that higher 
yields of better quality Corn are produced from 
seed that has been treated for disease control.
