Hybrid CORNS for the South 
5 Important Reasons on Why to 
Plant Hybrid Corns 
1. GREATER YIELD—Hybrid Corns usually 
yield more bushels of corn per acre over open 
pollinated corns, year in and year out, wher- 
ever they are planted. 
2. EASIER HARVESTING — The uniform 
height of the ears of most Hybrid Corns makes 
them twice as easily harvested. No stooping, 
no scraping in the mud is required. There are 
virtually no down stalks, and the ears are all 
of the same level. 
3. STIFFER STALKS—When hard winds lay 
other corns flat, most Hybrid Corns stand firm 
and erect. The stalks are so much stiffer, the 
roots so much deeper that the problem of 
twisted and down corn is virtually eliminated. 
4. DEEPER ROOTS—The roots of some Hy- 
brid Corns have been known to go down eight 
feet. When drouth strikes they dig down for 
moisture and produce a crop where other 
corns fail. In normal years these deeper roots 
tap g supply of food that ordinary corns never 
reach, 
5. A SURER CROP—It costs less than $2.00 
per acre to plant our Hybrid Corns. For that 
nominal cost you get more bushels of corn per 
acre plus protection against wind, drouth, dis- 
ease and pests plus uniform ears of a distinct 
quality. 
DIXIE 11 HYBRID. (White). Developed by 
U Department of Agriculture in co- 
operation with the Mississippi Agriculture 
Experiment Station. This is a long white 
grain corn with a small cob, somewhat re- 
sembling College Mosby, and averaging 
two ears to the stalk, occasionally three and 
four, Especially adaptable to the Central 
half of Mississippi and Alabama, etc. It 
shows perfect shuck coverage, which very 
few hybrids have, no ends of ears pro- 
truding. There was practically no weevil 
damage last fall, a very important item. 
Planted May 5th, lodging was negligible 
until tail end of tropical storm from Florida 
did some damage. Yield from this 26 acre 
block was 121 bushels per acre, official 
figures. Harvesting began Sept. 15th. You 
will want some of this corn.

DIXIE 17 HYBRID. (White.) A new white 
hybrid approved for certification in 1947. 
This hybrid is made up of two of the best 
Tennessee inbreds. It is slightly more re- 
sistant to lodging and the husk protection 
is slightly superior to that of Tennessee 
Hybrid No. 10. It has out-yielded Ten- 
nessee Hybrid No. 10 in 21 out of 22 ex- 
periments over a two year period. This 
is a medium hard, pure white prolific, with 
a light red cob. The seed has a slight 
copperish color but produces a crop having 
pure white grain. Has fine adaptability in 
northern third of Mississippi and Alabama.

TENNESSEE PAYMASTER HYBRID No. 10. 
This hybrid is made by combining in- 
breds from the high yielding prolific open 
pollinated variety Neal Paymaster. Thus 
they are all more or less similar to Neal 
Paymaster in having white grain, red cob, 
prolificacy, and high shelling per cent. 
This hybrid is more uniform and lower 
eared than Neal Paymaster.

HOBLIT’S ROYAL HYBRID U. S. 13. (Yellow). 
Our Hoblit’s Royal Hybrid customers are 
tepeat buyers each year—that means just 
one thing, the corn gives universal satis- 
faction. Makes a big fine ear, at medium 
height on stalk, deep root system that keeps 
the stalk from falling, splendid yield all 
over the Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and 
Tennessee area. Good corn for heavy soils.

No. 311 
NATIONAL YELLOW HYBRID No. 134. (U-67). 
Developed by Dr. Stuart Smith partly from 
the famous old style Reid's Yellow Dent 
Corn. Has Reid's type kernel, soft textured 
enough to suit the most particular feeder, 
yet it has the excellent quality and high 
weight per bushel the grain farmer prefers. 
It has a beautiful plant with glossy dark 
green leaves. Resistant to hot winds and 
drought. Its stiff stalk and excellent root 
system give it a remarkable resistance to 
straw breaking and lodging. Under normal 
conditions ear is approximately 9 to 11 
inches long and cylindrical in shape. Picks 
easy by hand or machine. Plant grows 
about 9 feet tall and is very dark green in 
color. It has an outstanding yield test 
record,

McMULLIN CROST-RITE CERTIFIED HYBRIDS 
The C. F. McMullin Estate, Sikeston, Mo., in the southeast corner of Missouri, is the largest 
producer in Missouri of Certified Hybrid corns. 
the Missouri Experiment Station, and the U. S. 
The Hybrids they produce were developed by 
Department of Agriculture. 
They are recom- 
mended by the Missouri Seed Improvement Assn., and the Missouri College of Agriculture for 
general use in Missouri and adjacent states. 
CROST-RITE Hybrids meet every requirement as regards soil, latitude, climate, rainfall and 
altitude in the Central Mid-South and near Southwest.

They are full season hybrids, stand up 
This spells HIGH turnout—a 
bushel of dry ears weighing 70 lbs.—often yields from 59 to 61 Ibs. of shelled corn.

U. S. 523. (White). Present seed crop the 
first grown for certification in Missouri. 
Breeder says one of the most outstanding 
White Hybrids ever developed as indicated 
by its official Experiment Station tests from 
Missouri to Louisiana. Eleven Missouri official 
tests 90.6 bushel average per acre. Louisiana 
official test 112.5 bushel. Maturity 110 to 115 
days, prolific, two large ears, particularly 
well covered, tight shuck, which means mini- 
mum of weevil damage. Ears are carried 
about 314% feet above the ground so that it 
stands particularly well, and is therefore extra 
good for mechanical harvesting. Grain qual- 
ity and type satisfy the milling trade nicely.

MISSOURI No. 8 (Yellow). Has become a 
household word due to its splendid perform- 
ance over a long period of years, strong stalk, 
deep root system, drouth and insect resistant, 
abundance of pollen and heat, splendid per- 
centage of two eared plants under favorable 
conditions, 110 to 115 days, quicker if planted 
late. Has fine record for years in many 
states—a good corn when the going is bad.

MISSOURI No. 148. (Yellow). The breeders 
believe this to be today’s most outstanding 
Hybrid-——contains the four best inbreds known, 
hybridized in best possible combination—aver- 
agés somewhat more than a single large well 
covered ear. Ear turns down as it matures, 
ripening while stalk is still green—gets all the 
growth the plant can make, ranks at or very 
near the TOP in all states where tested. Holds 
3 to 5 year production records in many states, 
a record seldom equalled. Maturity medium 
(about 115 days), plants medium size, strong 
vitality. Remarkably efficient in plant food 
assimilation, producing on either rich or poor 
land, widest range of adaptability to the 
Central Mid-South.

MISSOURI No. 313. (Yellow). One of the 
latest releases by Missouri Experiment Sta- 
tion. Has close relationship to U. S. 13, but 
one different improved inbred used. Deep 
roots, strong stalk, highly drouth, heat, dis- 
ease and insect resistant. Produces single 
large uniform, well covered, well filled ears, 
medium soft (high starch content) grains, 110 
days, ear turns down, dries out, harvests 
early with minimum moisture.
