WETSEL’S Adapted Seed Corn Hybrids 
IT PAYS TO PLANT HYBRID CORNS 
U.S. 13 
110 to 115 days. This Corn has long been the leading (best-known and most widely used) 
variety. Many people in high places thought its popularity was declining and the fact is that 
it had slipped a little in recent years. But now it has definitely ‘‘taken on new life,” first, be- 
cause of some very high yields during the past season, including one of 144 bushels to the 
acre; second, because Blacksburg is now confining its recommendation pretty much to U.S. 13, 
Illinois 200, Illinois 448 and U.S. 357, the latter mainly for the eastern portion of the state. 
Its popularity is due, at least in part, to the fact that it meets the requirements of a vast 
majority of farmers. Relatively few farmers, in full-maturity areas, desire either an early or a 
late Corn. Nor do they want a very small or a very large fodder, or ear, or hard or soft kernel. 
A Corn that is ‘‘medium” in all of these respects, as is the case with U. S. 13, is more likely 
to be preferred, because it yields well in a wide variety of soils and degree of fertility as well as 
CORN EAR WORM 
DROPS 
The corn ear worm has become 
a major menace and is getting 
worse. Fortunately, this worm 
can be controlled; at least, its 
damage can be reduced, thereby 
improving yields. Experience has 
proved beyond question that 
Ogen’s Corn Ear Worm Drops 
are very effective. Requires work, 
to be sure, but is rather easy to 
apply. See page 31. 

U. S. 13 Hybrid 
24 
weather conditions. 
U. S. 99 
120 to 125 days. Large-foddered hybrid, 
hence requires longer time for full maturity. 
Stalks do not grow tall but are thick, with 
broad blades. Enjoys favorable reputation 
as a silage Corn. Kernels smooth and light 
yellow. Our stock of seed was produced by 
John $8. Ward. 
U.S. 262 
About’ 125 days. Comparatively late- 
maturing Corn, becoming increasingly popu- 
lar in Tidewater Maryland and Virginia, also 
North Carolina. Stalks rather large and erect. 
A high-yielding Corn; ears fairly large, with 
pale yellow kernels. Not suitable for short- 
season areas. 
ILLINOIS 200 
120 days. Stalk somewhat larger than 
U.S. 13. Ear is longer, but slightly smaller 
in circumference. Best results are obtained 
on fertile or bottom soils. Has given high 
yields, even under adverse weather conditions. 
Easy to husk and of excellent quality. As 
above indicated, it is one of the formal recom- 
mendations of Blacksburg Experimental 
Station. 

ILLINOIS 448 
120 days. A high-yielding hybrid of wide 
adaptability. Stalks very tall and stiff, wind 
resistant, producing two long yellow ears of 
medium diameter. Kernels closely packed, 
medium depth, with high shelling percentage. 
Another of Blacksburg’s recommendations, 
IOWA 939 
An excellent Corn where early maturity is 
required or desired. When planted early it 
can be harvested in time for an early fall 
crop, and when planted late, even in middle or 
-late June, it will usually mature before frost. 
Yields are often amazingly large. Owing to 
short season maturity, is somewhat smaller 
foddered and eared than most hybrids. Thus 
far it has been our best seller in West Virginia 
and other sections where the growing season 
is comparatively short. 
OHIO W. 17 
100 to 110 days. Another comparatively 
early hybrid. Stalks medium in height, leafy 
and uniform. Produces medium ears, 16 to 18 
rows of shallow kernels. Stalk remains green 
after husks have ripened on the ear. Is widely 
used in West Virginia where the season is 
shorter than in the Valley and eastern Vir- 
ginia. Is also appropriate for either late plant- 
ing in full season areas, or where very early 
harvesting is desired.
