Don’t let the height of the stalk fool you. Height does not always determine quality. Only a variety of corn 
that matures early enough for the kernel to reach the hard-dough stage at harvest time assures a maximum yield 
of silage of high feeding value. Westbranch Sweepstakes and other tall, late-maturing hybrids whose ears are 
in the milk stage at harvest are fakers! They do produce from 2 to 5 tons more green weight to an acre than do 
hybrids whose ears are in the hard-dough stage at harvest, but this extra green weight of tall, late corn is water, 
which dilutes the silage and means additional harvest and storage costs. Furthermore, grain production is twice 
as great in the early hybrids as in the tall, late-maturing varieties. 
Growers tell us that Certified Cornell 35-5 will shell more pounds of corn than any other variety they have 
ever grown. It also makes good silage in areas where the season is short. Certified Cornell 29-3 is the most 
popular hybrid for silage in the Northeast but is more susceptible to smut and does not stand quite as well as 
Wisconsin 416 and Wisconsin 464. 
CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 29-3: 110 days. 
Originated at Cornell as a silage variety for use on 
the higher elevations of New York State and also 
found to be an excellent husking variety on our 
farms where the elevation is below 1,200 ft. Stalk 
9-10 ft., slender and leafy. Ears 9 to 10 inches long 
and slightly tapered. The dented kernels are yellow 
tinged with red. Cornell 29-3 has largely replaced 
West Branch Sweepstakes for silage—the silage con- 
tains 10% more dry matter and will feed your cows 
two weeks longer. 
CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 35-5: 95 days. A 
new early yellow dent hybrid field corn introduced 
by the N. Y. State College of Agriculture. Stalks 
7 to 8 ft. high, ears 8 to 9 inches, kernels narrow, 
deep, yellow. A very attractive corn that yields 
well and is well adapted to New York State condi- 
tions. The narrow kernel makes Cornell 35-5 a 
favorite with the poultrymen. 
WISCONSIN HYBRID 335: 95 days. Maturing 
with Cornell 35-5 this hybrid is especially recom- 
40 



mended as a grain hybrid at elevations of 700 to 1200 
feet and for silage at all elevations of 1200 feet and 
over and for Northern New York. It produces com- 
paratively large, well-matured ears on a plant of 
medium growth. The ears are of a light reddish 
yellow color with a pale yellow cap. 
WISCONSIN HYBRID 416: 105 days. Very similar 
to Wisconsin Hybrid 464 but about 5 days earlier. 
Stalks are medium tall; ears long and somewhat 
slender. Its field appearance is very good and it is 
noted for easy husking. 
Bob Strosnider, in charge of corn breeding at Robson Seed Farms, 
inspects one of his most promising new field corn hybrids to be 
released next year. 
WISCONSIN HYBRID 464: 110 days. A leafy yel- 
low variety of the same season as Cornell 29-3 but 
one that we find has a stronger stalk and root than 
29-3. It is also more resistant to smut. Suitable 
for silage on elevations in New York State over 1,200 
ft. and for both silage and husking at elevations from 
600 to 1,200 ft. Stalk 8 to 10 ft.; ear large, well filled 
with deep yellow kernels.
