How can FEED-COSTS be! 
For corn-growers, here are some suggestions: 
More crop, of higher feed-value, from the

same acreage—will do the job! What’s inside 
each seed-kernel you plant, plays a mighty 
important part. Sure, there are other factors 
— big ones too! Next column lists seven. 
As livestock men realize, a big part of feed- 
cost goes for supplemental feeds. How can 
that spending be lowered? There’s such a 
difference in today’s hybrids. Some with 
higher oil-content. And with more, better- 
quality protein. Feed-tests revealed that pigs 
fed Funk G higher-oil corn, ate 11 pounds 
less supplemental feed for each 100-pounds 
gain, than those fed average-oil corn. 
Ordinary corn has about 2.5 pounds of oil 
per bushel. Higher-oil Funk G hybrids have 
about 3.6 or more. That extra pound per 
bushel is important gain, because oil, meas- 
ured in calories, is the highest energy-pro- 
ducing part of the corn-kernel. Corn-oil has 
900 calories per 100 grams. Corn-starch, 369. 
Two facts are very plain. All breeds of hy- 
brids are not alike ... far from it! There are 
big differences in their values. And with the 
right hybrid seed planted in his fields, the 
corn-farmer of today can raise more corn... 
better corn—whether he feeds it out of his 
cribs or his silo!
