1946 U.S. Corn Crop Was 80% Hybrids 
CERTIFIED HYBRID FIELD CORN 
1 Bu. will plant 4 acres for silage 
1 Bu. will plant 5 acres for grain 
It is estimated that 68% of the field corn grown in the United States in 19460 was hybrid varieties and that 
this 68% produced 80% of the corn crop. Hybrids are more resistant to dry weather, ripen more evenly, and 
produce more bushels per acre. 
Certified hybrid corn is so vigorous that care should be taken not to plant it 
too thick—26 inch rows and 9 inches in the row for silage and 12 inches when the corn is to be grown for grain. 
Growers tell us that Certified Cornell 35-5 will shell more pounds of corn than any other variety they have 
ever grown. 
It also makes good silage in areas where the season is short. 
Certified Cornell 29-3 is the most 
popular hybrid for silage in the Northeast but is more susceptible to smut and does not stand quite as well as 
Wisconsin 416 and Wisconsin 464.

John, one of the younger generation of Robson’s. His job last 
Summer was to keep watch of the fields of hybrid corn and schedule 
the detasseling crews to the various fields,—all of which passed 
certification inspections. He is here inspecting one of the fields of 
Certified 29-3 that is almost ready to harvest.

MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 29-3: 110 days.

9-10 ft., slender and leafy. Ears 9 to 10 inches long 
and slightly tapered. The dented kernels are yellow
