ept DOWN? 
Still greater progress in hybrid-breed- 
ing now appears. There is now corn that 
does not shed pollen under field condi- 
tions even when crossed with fertile 
strains. Certain new G-hybrids devel- 
oped with this approach, have given 
better performance, bigger yield — than 
counter-part pollen-shedding hybrids. 
When further details are worked out, 
Funk-G users will get still-better corn 
crops ... new benefits right along. 
Some ‘‘Betier-Corn’’ Helps 
1 
Plan long-time soil-building. Return all crop resi- 
dues to the soil. Add nitrogen with legume crops. 
Add manure. Spread lime as needed. Provide 
adequate mineral elements. Strip crop, contour, 
terrace if needed. Rotate crops. 
2 
Choose proper planting rate. Planting rate and 
fertility level are inseparable. Yield is determined 
by both. Some hybrids stand thicker planting. 
3 
Plant at Right Time. Spread the planting time; use 
hybrids of different maturities. Plant at ‘‘normal”’ 
time. Be sure soil is not cold and wet. Plant deeper 
in sandy soil than in heavy clay. 
4 
Boost Crop with Fertilizer. Test soil. Add enough 
commercial fertilizer to meet the needs of your 
current crop. Side-dress growing corn. 
5 
Beat the Weeds. Plant fast-starting, rapid-growing 
adapted hybrids; get ahead of weeds with first 
cultivation. Weed-killing chemical sprays at mak- 
ers’ recommendation, often help. 
6 
New Weapon for War on Insects. Plant modern 
G-hybrids with bred-in resistance to common insect 
pests. If conditions warrant, spray crop with chem- 
icals according to makers’ directions. 
7 
Choose Hybrids that Fit YOUR Needs. For early 
harvest; for full-season heavy yielders; for high- 
tonnage silage from “grain” varieties; for sandy, 
clay, or other soil types; for high fertility or low.

MORE Nutrition 
at LESS Cost! 
More and more folks get higher 
feed-value from Funk G ensilage. 
They plant the strain that gets 
the crop to a “‘just-right”’ stage. 
It will have high content of 
‘“near-finish’’ grain, more feed 
nutrients, per green ton. These 
folks buy much less other feed 
... they have it in their silage 
to use daily. This means great 
savings each year... Plant the 
right Funk G Hybrid for your 
silage—gain this extra saving!
