‘Consistently 
Good Year \@as 
After Year” 
Our list of Funk G-Hybrids has been materially revised and reduced. Five numbers have been dropped and two new ones have 
been added. This reduces the number from seven to four. The five numbers that were dropped are still good Hybrids, as they always 
have been 
but the two new ones are even better. 
Positive proof of the performance of Funk G-Hybrids was again demonstrated in 1950. Eight out of eleven numbers in the plot on 
the farm of T. L. Holloman, Assistant County Agent, yielded more than 100 bushels to the acre. Those yielding less than 100 bushels 
—93.2, 96.9 and 97.0—are among the five we have dropped. The eight exceeding 100 bushels ranged up to 126.5. No fertilizer was 
used on this plot. That is good performance in anybody’s field. 
FUNK G-98 
Interestingly enough, virtually all of the old Funk numbers have 
been dropped, for the sole reason that better Corns have been de- 
veloped. G-98 is one of the recent developments. It is a consistently 
high yielding Corn—produced 107 bushels in 1950 on the Rockingham 
County plot, without benefit of fertilizer. One of the blood lines was 
selected from the most worthy strain of the famous old Lancaster 
County Sure Crop, which accounts in part for the unusual length of 
the ear. Starts off fast in spring and keeps on going. Possesses extra 
resistance to blight. 
FUNK G-99 
Also a comparatively new Hybrid having been developed just 
ahead of G-98. From the beginning has been a ‘“‘stand-out’’ yielder. 
It led the list in Rockingham County plot in 1950, rolling up a yield 
of 126.5 bushels to the acre, without fertilizer. 
Is a general-use Corn of startling ability. It 
also contains one blood line from the famous 
old Laneaster Co. Sure Crop, giving it too 
a very long ear of rich yellow kernels. Has 
lately been improved in respect to even 
better standing ability, more freedom from 
stalk faults and greater resistance to blight.

FUNK G-136 
One of the two newcomers to our list. While not yielding quite as 
high as G-99 in the 1950 plot—a mere 117.3 bus.—it has many advan- 
tages over other Corns. Specifically it outranks both G-135 and G-145 
both of which have long been popular. Produces a beautiful ear of 
bright yellow kernels. These ears are placed lower—a much desired 
advantage. Enjoys a wide range of soil adaptation and yields well 
even in extreme humidity. Has demonstrated high resistance to both 
blight and corn-borers. A vast root system is another characteristic 
of G-136. Contains the new, outstanding and exclusive inbred ‘‘67.” 
FUNK G-705 
A new white hybrid which is being added to our list to take the 
place of 515-W which has long been favored as a white Corn. Besides 
being a good yielder, it has numerous distinct, fundamental advan- 
tages over 515-W. G-705 gives you a sturdy 
stalk with lots of leaves and very deep ker- 
nels. Produces short goose-neck shank, per- 
mitting ears to tip down, for added weather 
protection. Has excellent resistance to ear- 
worm, root-worm and other insects. When 
used as an ensilage Corn it produces heavy 
tonnage of rich, leafy feed.
