Iowa 939 Hybrid Field Corn 
KINGSCROST HYBRIDS 
Actual farm and official state trials have shown that Kingscrost 
Hybrids have not been surpassed in yielding ability by any group 
of hybrids of comparable maturity. They are grown and pre- 
pared for planting under the most exacting conditions. We 
recommend that you try at least one of them this year. 
Kingscrost KS. The most outstanding Corn in its maturity 
class. 
sponsible for its large grain yields. Maturity 90 to 95 days. 
Kingserost KR. For maximum all-round performance Kings- 
crost KR has not been surpassed. Disease resistance combined 
with high grain and fodder yields make this a very popular 
hybrid. Maturity 95 to 100 days. 
Kingserost KY. An exceptional hybrid that has remarkable 
ability to stand up under adverse conditions. Many wide, long 
leaves set close together on the stalk insure high yield of fodder. 
Ears are exceptional in their size and quality. Maturity 100 
to 105 days. 
Its large, deep-kerneled ears with small cobs are re- |

HYBRID CORNS 
The acreage planted to Hybrid Corn in recent years has been 
constantly increasing until today about 75% of the corn acreage 
is planted to hybrids. Hybrids outyield open-pollinated and in 
addition, lodge less in storms and are less susceptible to drought, 
to insects, and to disease. It is now generally recognized that the 
use of adapted corn hybrids is one of the important steps in 
efficient corn production. 
The hybrids we offer have been selected from a large group for 
their outstanding performance es and superiority over other varie- 
ties, and in our opinion are the best adapted to this section. 
OHIO K23. An early hybrid adaptable for use in the better soils. 
Stalks are short, deep green, and leafy; ears are medium in 
size, with 16 to 18 rows. Maturity 90 to 95 days. 
OHIO K24. A high-yielding hybrid. Stalks of medium height, 
leafy and dark green; ears of medium length with 14 to 16 rows. 
Maturity 95 to 100 days. 
IOWA 939. Adapted to a wide range of conditions and probably 
the best-known hybrid. Has stiff stalk, medium in height; ears 
have 16 rows with somewhat rough, soft, rich yellow kernels. 
Maturity 100 to 105 days. 
PENNA. 612. Developed by Pennsylvania State College. In 
maturity it is in about the same class as [owa 939 and Im- 
proved Leaming. A high-yielding variety that produces a 
strong stalk. Rates high i in resistance to borers and aphids. 
ENSILAGE CORN 
LANCASTER COUNTY SURE-CROP.  (Open-pollinated 
variety. ) ik he leading ensilage variety. Ears are long, with 
yellow grains, and not proportionately thick. Stalks are quite 
tall and very leafy. An extremely heavy yielder and a most 
desirable ensilage variety. 
EUREKA. (Open-pollinated variety.) Produces unusually heavy 
foliage and often grows 16 to 18 feet tall. Ears are very long; 
grain is large, broad, and ivory-white. 
U.S. 13 HYBRID. One of the highest yielding of all hybrid 
varieties for both grain and silage. The stalks are medium tall 
and lodge-resistant; ears medium long, with 20 to 22 rows of 
deep grains. Matures in 110 to 115 days. 
All of our Seed Corn is selected with the utmost care. The 
ears are carefully hand-selected before they are shelled and the 
grain is carefully graded on the most modern grading equipment. 
It is thoroughly dried, of high germination, and of the best pos- 
sible quality.
