Paying Crops of FINE corn... yé 
from FUNK-bred, Hoffman-PROVi 
There are very definite reasons. Things are done here for you, to 
improve your corn crop, that are not done by any other agency 
in the industry. Sure, everybody wants you to buy his seed .. . 
that’s natural. He says “try mine and see”. That’s the easy way 
(and why most folks follow it). But what other outfit does all your 
work, travels thousands of miles, invests large sums of cash, every 
year! With just one purpose: TO HAVE YOU PLANTIN 
YOUR RIGHT SEED! The satisfaction our friends get, the pay: 
ing crops they now grow and talk about with their friends . . . 
that’s the reward. Seeing the first few dozens, then hundreds, later 
thousands— profiting the way they do, makes us tell still others. 
Funk-Hoffman Teamwork 
.-- how it works for YOU 
(1) One big area to the north was never sure its 
corn would be ripe ahead of early cold weather. It 
badly needed corn to mature in time. Funk-Hoffman 
men went to work. Specimens of earliest-maturing 
old-type corns of that area were rounded up. Along 
with other quite-early types from other short-season 
areas. Long, tedious efforts of “inbreeding” fol- 
lowed. Good points were thus separated and kept. 
By later “cross-breeding” them with good traits of 
such “inbred” lines from other sources ... the need 
became satisfied. Funk-G hybrids were made that 
year after year. 
many eastern areas a few seasons 
back, revealed an alarming thing.
