Everett's HYBRID. SEED CORN 
THE SOUTH'S FINEST SELECTION OF ADAPTED HYBRIDS 


Hybrid corn developments are big news in the South, nowa- 
days. There’s a real revolution going on here, with vast 
benefits for all concerned. 
In this great movement, EVERETT’S is taking a leading part. 
For years, we have been working and cooperating with the 
growers who were pioneering these special strains that are 
now doing such a good job in this area. 
Our 1947 sales of hybrid corn ran into carload figures. But 
for 1948 we estimate they will more than double last year’s 
records, 
104 Bu. per acre reported 
by Georgia Experiment Station Trials 
The production figures for the new Southern hybrids are 
startling. State experiment station trials exceeded 100 bushels 
per acre. Many of our customers, operating under widely 
varied conditions, reported 60 to 90 bu. per acre. » 
Hybrids have the good qualities of several strong strains 
bred into them—these characteristics make for uniform 
height, well developed ears. Hybrids are much more drought- 
resistant. And most important is the extensive root system 
they develop, which enables hybrids to make full use of 
more fertilizer through their feeder roots. Specialists are rec- 
ommending that 500 to 800 lbs. of good high-grade fertilizer 
be applied per acre and that the hybrid corn be planted 
from 12 to 15 inches in the drill—this is important, The 
distance between rows is naturally stan- 
dard according to your equipment. A 
later top-dressing of 200 lbs. of Nitrate 
of Soda per acre is recommended. 
Here are two plantings—in the same 
field! At the left is open pollinated 
corn, At the right is hybrid.

offered below are the ones best suited 
and adapted for the Southeastern section 
(excepting the Coastal Plains and Flori- 
da). We strongly recommend your 
choice of one of the following hybrid 
corns, for most of Georgia, Alabama,
