Good Ripe Corn 
Throughout the East — 
EXTRA Loads 
When the cameraman took 
these pictures, this Lancaster 
County farmer’s corn-crib was 
FULL OVERFLOWING 
and there were still many more 
loads of fine corn out in his 
field! 
Yet he was no different—no 
better off—than a host of other 
men throughout the Northeast 
who had planted Hoffman Funk 
G corn last spring. They, too, 
had fine crops; good, hard corn, 
more bushels. Made a real 
profit from it. They were all 
“way in the lead with Funk G 
seed.”

From everywhere in these northeastein states 
comes the same good news .. . even jn 1947's 
adverse corn season—its wet, cool, late spring— 
dry summer—early hard September frosts: More 
folks than ever reported on their favorable expe- 
riences with Hoffman Funk G seed. Please read 
the following . . . each a statement from a cus- 
tomer-letter (one of them may be yours—thanks!). 
“Have grown corn for 50 years; Funk G best.” 
“No sign of corn diseases,” 
“Never had such abundance of leaves.” 
“More silage per acre than I ever raised.” 
“Best corn in 10 years.” 
“Many ears weighed two pounds.” 
“Surpassed any corn in my locality.” 
“Funk G is a miracle corn.” 
“Resistance to disease unbelievable.” 
“Husks easier. More time for other work.” 
“Best corn in 35 years.” 
“Neighbors bemoaned their poor corn—our Funk G best we

“My corn as beautiful as the pictures you see of wonderful fields 
in distant states—a real pleasure to grow it right here.” 
“You can order Funk G with confidence.” 
“Growing Funk G for 7 years.” 
“Under adverse conditions, Funk G excels.”” 
“Funk G stood—wind flattened another hybrid.” 
“1 shall always be a Funk G enthusiast.”

Truthful Fact-Finding Pays You 
All the above and many hundreds more like them 
were not the result of accident—far from it! But 
because of the most detailed, exhaustive corn re- 
search ever attempted in the East. In New York 
State and all the way south through Virginia—at 
altitudes varying down from 2,500 feet, 2,000, 
1,600, 1,200, 900, 600, 400 and less, to just a few 
feet over sea-level. Started in 1936. Continues 
EVERY year. Why? Because the farms in all 
these areas need corn. Today they get corn! And 
they will in the future! This vast Hoffman-Funk 
research program reveals certain needs, and pro- 
vides the means to supply them. It’s YOUR IN- 
SURANCE PROTECTION for the RIGHT strain for 
your sound, profitable crop! Wherever you farm 
corn, read on next three pages why “You're Al- 
ways Ahead With Funk G Hybrid Seed.” 
(Right) Splendidly leafed, fully matured Funk 
G 6 (Potter County, Pa., 2,500 feet elevation). 
Came through fine, despite a half-inch ice Sep- 
tember 25, 1947. (Below) Checking results at 
one of many Hoffman-Funk Research plantings. 
This one, 20 miles north of Syracuse, N. Y. 
(elevation 650 feet), where over 30 corn strains 
must demonstrate their merits for future use, 
or be discarded.
