Here is an example of the field selection and testing done by DeKalb. 
DeKalb Hybrids continue to pick up new, loyal users each year. 
It would not be truthful to say that they are sensational Corns. 
They do not stand out over all other hybrids in every particular. 
But they are consistently good. And when better hybrids are 
available, you can be sure that DeKalb will be ‘“‘among those 
present.” 
Fact is, we recognize that the day of sensational performances 
by Corn hybrids is over. The industry has matured to the point 
of comparative stabilization. To be sure, progress is still being 
made in the development of better hybrids, and we have full 
confidence that improvements will continue. The industry will 
become still more stable through the elimination of small and 
incompetent growers who rushed into the business in the ex- 
pectation of easy, quick profits. 
More and more each year the reliability of the producer and 
consistency of performance in the field will assume greater im- 
portance. In these respects the DeKalb organization has from 
the very beginning enjoyed top rank equal to the best producers 
in every respect. This means that DeKalb is superior to about 
95 percent of all others. 
Again we group the DeKalb Corns in the order of their general 
maturity. Bear in mind that the number denotes relative ma- 
turity and size of fodder. 
404-A—406—455—609 
These are early-maturing and_ small- 
foddered Corns, 404-A being the earliest. 
Can be planted very late and still mature 
before frost. If planted early, they can be 
harvested in time to plant early fall crops. 
404-A, TFZ grains, pk. $2.60; bus. $9.40; 
large or medium flats, pk. $3.30; bus. $12.70. 
Large flat grains of other varieties, pk. $3.05; 
bus. $11.70. 
816-840-847-849-850 
Medium maturity and medium fodder but 
good ear—all these characteristics varying 
with fertility of soil, time of planting and 
weather conditions. They are _ primarily 
for the crib. Available in flat grains: pk. $3.05; 
bus. $11.70. DEKALB HYBRIDS ARE 
ALSO AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR 
AUTHORIZED DEALERS.

Somewhat later in maturity than previous 
group. Fodder also somewhat larger. It 
makes a good combination Corn, for either 
husking or ensilage, or both from same field. 
Should be confined to fields in high state of 
fertility. Flat grains: pk. $3.05; bus. $11.70. 
Prices are f.o.b. Harrisonburg. If 
ordered to be sent by Parcel Post, 
within 150 miles, add 55 cts. per pk. 
and $1.55 per bus. 
Consult your Postmaster for rates 
beyond 150 miles. 
1002—1022—1050 
Large-foddered strains and consequently 
late maturing. In this territory they are used 
primarily for ensilage. Producing a good ear 
as well, they make a good rich silage, pro- 
viding a lot of grain with stalk. For best 
results, soil should be pretty good. Flat grains: 
pk. $3.05; bus. $11.70. 
WHITE HYBRIDS 
rare 
707 has been on our list for some years 
and has given excellent results where a white 
Corn is desired. Flat grains: pk. $3.30; bus. 
$12.70. DEKALB HYBRIDS ARE ALSO 
AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR AUTHOR- 
IZED DEALERS.
