THE NORTHWEST'S 
Best Sile Filler! 
IMPROVED 
IDEAL HYBRID SILO CORN 
MASTER F-106A (113-117 Days) 
Ideal Hybrid Silo Corn fills many a silo 
from half the usual acreage. For feeding green, 
for ensilage and for curing in shocks to be 
fed in the bundle, it’s the Northwest’s greatest 
producer! 
FOR ZONES G AND H 
A new improved model of famous Master 
¥F-106. The addition of one new inbred, in 
combination with three proven Ideal inbreds, 
resulted in 3 to 5 days earlier maturity, im- 
proved standing ability, a shorter, more con- 
venient plant height, and still retaining the 
splendid features of the original Master F-106. 
Two-year averages show only 1% smut, plant 
height 90 inches, ear height 40 inches, only 
1% root lodging, no broken plants, ear length 
9 inches, 16 rows. Seed supply was not suf- 
ficient to enter in State Yield Trials until 
1947. However, new F-106A made the highest 
yield of all hybrids tested in our own 1946 
trials with a yield of 108.8 bushels per acre! 
Outyielding the original F-106 by more than 
14 bushels. 
Produces 15 tons of quality silage per acre, 
rich in carotene, source of Vitamin A. Harvest 
Silage at the medium dent stage, while most 
of the plants are still reasonably green and 
succulent for greatest dry weight. Delay 
beyond this time results in heavy losses of 
earotene without much increase in total yield 
of silage. New F-106A is splendid for silage 
in all zones—figuring maturity at 10 days 
later than for grain production.
