and mechanical husking ability. It asks no favors 
and yields are uniformly high. Deep dent. Large 
or medium flats, $11.30 per bus. 
2 DeKalb 840 
Short, heavy, stiff stalks keep this 
one standing. It has been popular with 
southeastern farmers who like solid

but 840 is unusually so. Does best on 
heavy soils. Large or medium flats, 
$11.30 per bus.

“T have used your 240 Field Corn for some time and think 
it has no equal. On 21 acres last year we husked 450 bushels 
of ears, the finest Corn we have ever grown on this farm. Will 
always plant 240 for grain.”,-—Ghent, N. Y. 
“I am very much pleased with my 1947 crop of DeKalb 
Corn. Believe I have the most Corn I have ever seen on 
an acre of ground. Expect to measure an acre when I husk. 
mu ts disappointed if it isn’t around 100 bushels.””—Chapel, 
Va.

the market for ear type and drought-tolerance 
improvement. Now it’s back in an improved stage 
known as 898. It has a big heavy stalk, tall fodder, 
and what an ear! Farmers who had 898 for ensilage 
last year say, “Plant it early and it makes good 
grain as well as ensilage and fodder.” Large or 
medium flats, $11.30 per bus.

but kernels are unusually deep. Fodder remains.
