The World’s Greatest Yielder—-Many Report 50 to 75 Tons Per Acre. 
For many years I have worked on this World’s Famous Ensilage Corn, Selecting and Reselecting 
Pure Bred Seed and today I feel safe in saying it leads all others in growth of fodder-produeing 
stalks 18 to 22 feet high. The leaves are broad and long, they start forming at the lower 
end of the stalk and continue to the very top. It has a strong root system thereby not 
nN affected by wind or drought. I produce this seed South of the Ohio River and do not 
: LN recommend it to ripen as far North as Rockford. It is solely a silo filler and one 
S GN acre will produce more tons of feed than 5 acres of ordinary corn. If you de- 
wh sire hard ripe corn in your silo, plant one row of Goliath and one of native 
ih USN corn. That way you get maximum yield, maximum feeding value from

1556 Funk’s G-114—Hybrid Yellow © 
(Tops the List for North Central Corn Belt) 
Some people call it ‘‘intestinal forti- 
tude.’’ Others call it simply ‘‘guts.’’? Any- 
way, in G-114, it’s the ability to stand up 
J against the beating that the North Central 
Corn Belt often hands out in weather and 
in insect attacks. Against cold spring * 
dampness, ... Against scorching summer | 
drought... . Against blasting wind... = 
Against corn borers and other insect ene-_ 
mies, G-114 comes through. Even when | 
harvest is long delayed, G-114 stands, firm- 
ly erect.. In Iowa 4-year tests, its percen- 
tage of lodging was lowest (2.9%) of any 
strain entered. And it yields with the best. — 
G-114 foliage stays green after the ear — 
starts to mature, making the extra starch i 
| necessary to finish both a heavy ear and at
