Do You Weigh Your Ensilage? 
What About Feed Units in It? 
Exacting dairymen today want to “know 
the answers.” Besides exact weight, what’s 
the feeding value? Both figure into feed 
costs and net profits. 
In the ensilage from each Hoffman- 
recommended Funk G silage strain, there 
is a very high percentage of actual grain 
feed to the total green weight . . . more 
feed units—lower-cost herd upkeep. 
Can Any Corn Be Better 
Than Its Roots? 
For 80 years, Funk men have worked on 
corn-root problems with wonderful results. 
Mr. Funk insisted there was as much to 
learn about corn under the ground as 
above. No small part of today’s Funk G 
success was built upon this firm convic- 
tion. G-hybrid root structure is outstanding. 
How’s Stalk Breakage With You? 
Long before corn borers, there were the 
problems of broken stalks, dropped ears, 
and stalk rot. These difficulties were being 
licked years ago by Funk GC breeders. 
Comparing fields of various hybrids today 
on this basis, there’s no trouble noticing 
how Funk G hybrids do stand _ better. 
They’re bred for resistance to such troubles. 

Do You Husk With a Picker? 
Corn growers have always liked stalks to 
“stay on their feet” to harvest time. 
“Hands-and-knees” husking was never any 
fun ... and costly. But now since me- 
chanical pickers came, this requirement 
is vital. It’s bred into Funk G seed. 
Observers say, too, ears are cleaner 
husked when hauled from Funk G fields 
than from fields advertising other names. 
Does Greater Leafiness Indicate 
a Heavier Crop? 
The greater the leafiness, the more grain 
manufacturing is taking place all the time. 
One definite effort in Funk G breeding is 
to put more square inches of leaf surface 
to work on each plant. This factor greatly 
helps make Funk G hybrids so successful. 
Are You Saving Money 
Buying Round Kernel Seed? 
More folks are. They realize every grain 
on a Funk G seed ear, regardless of shape, 
has exactly the same germ plasm within 
. will produce the same fine ear and 
grain—just as much corn. Use proper 
planter plates (which must also be done 
to plant flat-kernel seed). Price List quotes

STANDABILITY 
| have a corn crop I 
don’t think can be 
beaten—bar none! And 
my silo corn stood up 
after violent windstorms 
that laid down a few 
silos in the neighbor- 
hood. Funk G corn is 
all anyone can ask for. 
—M. M. Kappler. 

MORE DROUGHT 
RESISTANCE 
Our corn crop was very 
satisfactory. This was the 
dryest in 60 years of record 
at the Boston Weather Bu- 
reau. Our G hybrid held 
its own through this severe 
drought.—Voss Brothers.

a GREATER 
INSECT RESISTANCE 
The G corn yielded much more corn 
than three other kinds | planted. 
The corn borer and Japanese beetle 
did it very little damage and it 
withstood severe wind and rain 
storms.—Walter L. Brandenburg.
