ABOUT HYBRID SEED CORN 
Hybrid corn is the result of crossing certain inbred, or self- 
pollinated, lines of corn in various combinations. Maximum 
benefits are derived from the first planting of hybrid seed. 
Later generations are less vigorous and uniform. Hybrid corn 
seed should be obtained each year from producers who are 
specialists in hybrid seed corn production. Farmer’s crop hy- 
brid corn should never be planted. Seed saved from a field of 
hybrid corn will always produce disappointing results. 
DIXIE 18 HYBRID (Certified). (93 days.) This yellow hybrid 
field corn was developed at the Coastal Plain Experiment Sta- 
tion in South Georgia in cooperation with the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. It shows much promise for central and 
north Florida and south Georgia, as a heavy yielder, averaging 
2 ears per plant. Yields of 80 to 100 bushels per acre have been 
reported. The plants are relatively short, sturdy, and very 
vigorous, with a deep root system, resisting wind damage, 
lodging and drouth. The ears are borne low down on the 
plant. It makes a semi-hard corn and is very desirable for 
“hogging off.” It is exceedingly uniform in plant and ear 
type. The grain is yellow and intermediate in texture being 
harder than Whatley. It is equal to Whatley in weevil re- 
sistance.

FUNK’S G-737 (new). (95 days.) ‘This new yellow corn has 
given phenominal results in numerous commercial trials in 
the Everglades muck of Florida and offers splendid possibil- 
ities for other sections of the state. It consistently makes high 
yields (two ears per stalk) of attractive, medium large ears, 
well covered to the tips with hard, semi-flint yellow kernels, 
with extra heavy shuck, very weevil resistant and of excellent 
keeping quality. Makes strong, sturdy stalks which stand 
drouth better than other varieties.

Culture. Same as for sweet corn (see page 18) except given 
a little wider spacing—in rows 3 to 314 feet apart, and 15 to 18 
inches in the row. Grows more vigorously and is a little later 
in maturing than most varieties of sweet corn. For control of 
corn earworm see page 54.

from seed planting to first harvest under average conditions.
