Hybrid Cornell 29-3 is a double cross hybrid Corn developed at the Cor- 
nell Agricultural Experiment Station by inbreeding and crossing. ‘The va- 
rieties used in making this double cross are inbred strains of Luce’s Favourite, 
Onondaga White Dent, Cornell 11 and Bloody Butcher. 
D O U B L E C R O S S In Dibble’s Hybrid Cornell 29-3 we now have a hybrid Corn that is adapted 
to our Eastern conditions. It matures in about 110 to 115 days and has the 
widest adaptability of any Corn grown in the Northeastern territory. The 
y ear is 9 to 10 inches long and 2 inches in diameter, tapering slightly. It ts 
Hi B RI D yellow Corn with a slightly reddish tinge and showing deep amber between 
the rows. Very distinct. 
We recommend it for ensilage wherever West Branch Sweepstakes or 
Leaming is now used, and for grain wherever a late strain of Cornell 11 ma- 
tures. Comparative tests show it produces 40 to 50 per cent more grain at 
silage-cutting time and 15 to 20 bushels more of dry shelled grain per acre 
at husking-time. 
Our seed is from carefully selected ears, thoroughly recleaned and graded, 
of splendid germination, and we sell it subject to your test on our money- 
back-if-you-want-it guarantee. 
Hybrid Corn has replaced the original varieties so 
completely in the Corn-belt that it is now difficult to 
find a field of open-pollinated Corn. Acreage in the 
Northeast is increasing each year. We offer outstand- 
ing varieties of different maturities that will meet the 
varied growing conditions ot ou: Nostheast. Cornell M-1 is just later than E-10, ts slightly larger in plant growth, and 
has remarkable standability. During 1949 and 1950 when root and stalk 
rots were extremely prevalent, this hybrid was exceptional in its ability to 
stand erect under the most severe conditions where other hybrids thought to 
have excellent standability were badly infected resulting nm broken down 
stalks. Cornell M-1 is recommended primarily for silage for a large part of 
the dairy-producing area where Corns as late as Cornell 29-3 or Ohio M-15 
fail on the average to get to a desirable stage of maturity for silage. 
An early hybrid that gives you big yields of top-quality 
Corn. The remarkable root growth assures sturdy standability. 
Ears are large for an early hybrid, and they carry well-dented 
kernels of excellent feeding or market type. On our farms it 
matures nearly as early as Cornell 29-3. 
When the white-oak 
leaves are as big as a squir- 
rel’s ear, then it is time to 
plant corn.—Old Indian 
saying.
