Hybrid CORNS for the South 
RUSSELL-HECKLE SPECIAL HYBRIDS 
These three varieties of Hybrid Corn described below were bred especially for the 
Memphis territory. They were entered in:the Arkansas corn yield test for 1952 and will be 
available for the 1953 planting season. 
VOLUNTEER 
STATE HYBRID 
SEED CORN 
FOR A BETTER YIELD 
DIXIE 22 HYBRID. (Yellow.) This is a new 
hybrid that was approved for certification 
for ihe first time in 1949. On the basis of 
a three year test this hybrid has, on an 
average, outyielded all other yellow hy- 
brids. In 15 tests in Tennessee its yield 
was an average of 78.2 as compared with 
83.6 for Dixie 17 and 74.6 for Tennessee 
602. Its husk rating and percentage of 
R. H. 200. (Yellow). A good early hybrid that matures in approximately 90 days. This 
hybrid does well on most all types of soils giving top yields of good quality corn. Gives 
one or more good ears per stalk. Stalks grow only to medium height. Adapted to entire 
area for an early maturing corn, but since it has only an average husk should be harvest- 
ed as soon as mature in order to maintain the maximum feeding value and. quality of 
this hybrid. An excellent hybrid for mechanical picker. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.20; pk. $4.00; 12 bu. $7.35; 1 bu. $14.00. 
R. H. 211. (Yellow). Has a wide adaption in the area where recommended with highest 
yielding ability and good all around performance such as quality of grain, standing abil- 
ity, and husk covering. It is best adapted to Tennessee, Arkansas and Northern one-half 
to two-thirds of Alabama, and Mississippi. It matures in 110 to 115 days. Works well with 
mechanical picker or by hand. Any farmer living in this area mentioned should plant 
some of this hybrid as he will be more than pleased with the results it gives. Runs 
mostly 2 ears per plant, which are of nice size. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.20; pk. $4.00; 2 bu. $7.35; 1 bu. $14.00. 
R. H. 307W. (White) This is the white variety which is prolific having two and three ears 
per stalk. The stalks grow to good height with medium dark colored foliage. Adapted to 
most all types of soils with high yielding ability. Maturity is approximately 115 to 120 
erect plants are slightly better than either 
Dixie 17 or Tennessee 602. This is a full- 
seasoned, semi-prolific hybrid. '

DIXIE 33 HYBRID. (White.) A new full 
season white hybrid developed by the 
Tennessee Agriculture Experiment Station 
cooperating with the U.S.D.A. Dixie 33 
in official yield trials gave outstanding per- 
formance justifying its approval for certifi- 
cation. Stands up well, picks well, has a 
good husk for extra protection against in- 
sect and weather damage. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.15; pk. $3.65; % bu. $6.85: 
bu. $13.10. 
DIXIE 17 HYBRID. (White.) A new white 
hybrid approved for certification in 1947, 
This hybrid is made up of two of the best 
Tennessee inbreds. It is slightly more re- 
sistant to lodging and the husk protection 
is slightly superior to that of Tennessee 
Hybrid No. 10. It has out-yielded Ten- 
nessee Hybrid No. 10 in 21 out of 22 ex- 
periments over a two year period. This 
is a medium hard, pure white prolific, with 
a light red cob. The seed has a slight 
copperish color but produces a crop having 
pure white grain. Has fine adaptability in 
northern third of Mississippi and Alabama.

<< 
DIXIE 11 HYBRID. (White.) Developed by 
U. S. Department of Agriculture in co- 
operation with the Mississippi Agriculture 
Experiment Station. This is a long white 
grain corn with a small cob, somewhat re- 
sembling College Mosby, and averaging 
two ears to the stalk, occasionally three and 
four. Especially adaptable to the Central 
half of Mississippi and Alabama, etc. It 
shows perfect shuck coverage, which very 
few hybrids have, no ends of ears pro- 
truding. There was practically no weevil 
damage last fall, a very important item. 
Planted May 5th, lodging was negligible 
until tail end of tropical storm from Florida 
did some damage. Yield from this 26 acre 
block was 121 bushels per acre, official 
figures. Harvesting began Sept. 15th. You 
will want some of this corn.

HOBLIT’S ROYAL. HYBRID U. S. 13. (Yellow.) 
Our Hoblit’s Royal Hybrid customers are 
repeat buyers each year—that means just 
one thing, the corn gives universal satis- 
faction. Makes a big fine ear, at medium 
height on stalk, deep root system that keeps 
the stalk from falling, splendid yield all 
over the Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and 
Tennessee area. Good corn for heavy soils.

NATIONAL YELLOW HYBRID No. 134. 
Developed by Dr. Stuart Smith partly from the famous 
old style Reid’s Yellow Dent Corn. Has Reid's type kernel, soft textured enough to suit the 
most particular feeder, yet it has the excellent quality and high weight per bushel the grain 
farmer prefers. It has a beautiful plant with glossy dark green leaves. Resistant to hot winds 
and drought. Its stiff stalk and excellent root system give it a remarkable resistance to straw 
breaking and lodging. Under normal conditions ear is approximately 9 to 11 inches long and 
cylindrical in shape. .Picks easy by hand or machine. Plant grows about 9 feet tall and is 
very dark green in color. It has an outstanding yield test record.

McMULLIN CROST-RITE CERTIFIED HYBRIDS 
We are distributing McMullin ‘’Crost-Rite’’ Certified Hybrids because not only do they meet 
the requirements of our farmers and planters, but also because they are produced in this 
latitude in Southeast Missouri where soil and climatic conditions are very similar to those in 
the territory we serve. We believe our McMullin ‘‘CROST-RITE’’ CERTIFIED HYBRIDS meet 
every requirement as regards soil, latitude, climate, rainfall and altitude in the Central Mid- 
South and near Southwest ‘‘HIGH TURNOUT.” 
One of the splendid profit making qualities 
of McMULLIN ‘’CROST-RITE”’ CERTIFIED HYBRIDS is their high percentage of turnout. Often 
tests run from 85 to 88%, which means that a bushel of dry ears weighing 70 pounds yields 
from 59 to 61 pounds of shelled corn. Their solid, well-filled, cylindrical ears with deep grains 
and small cob bring this about. 
McMULLIN “CROST-RITE” U. S. 523. (White.) 
This has become one of the most outstand- 
ing varieties in the Mid-South, not only be- 
cause of its top Experiment Station yields ot 
over 100 bushels per acre and equally good 
performance for thousands of farmers in 
the several states we serve, but also be- 
cause it is an especially good milling corn 
and commands the top price and premium 
at the market. It is a full season, prolifie 
hybrid, deep rooted and strong stalked so 
that it stands well, has excellent shuck 
coverage insuring the minimum of weevil 
damage. Ear height of about three and 
one-half feet means it is extra good for 
mechanical harvesting. If you produce for 
market this is the hybrid to plant. Whether 
your land is rich or poor, 523 white will 
live up to its opportunity. 
Postpaid, gal. $2.15; pk. $3.65; 14 bu. $6.65 
bu. $12.60. 
“CROST-RITE” MISSOURI 313. 
(Yellow.) Produces better filled ears. Mis- 
souri 313 is an improved U. §. 13. 
all the good qualities of the old, well- 
known standby, plus the advantages ot 
increased pollen production and conse- 
quently better filled ears. The breeders 
have introduced into it a new blood line 
which corrects the tendency to ear shed- 
ding which makes it tops for mechanical 
harvesting. Missouri No. 313 produces a 
single, large, uniform, well covered ear, 
stands up particularly well because of its 
deep roots and strong stalks and is highly 
resistant to insects, disease, heat and 
drought. 
It matures in about 110 days, is medium 
soft (high starch content grains), Has 
turned down ear that dries out and harvests 
early with minimum moisture. We recom- 
mend it especially for soils with a high 
fertility level.

McMULLIN 
“CROST-RITE” MISSOURI 148. 
(Yellow.) Today’s most outstanding Hybrid. 
It has everything. We believe this is to be 
today’s most outstanding hybrid and that 
it contains the four best inbreds known, 
hybridized in the best possible combination. 
It is medium in maturity (about 115 days), 
and produces on the average somewhat 
more than a single, well covered ear which 
turns down as it matures and ripens 
while the stalk is still green, thus getting 
the full benefit of all the growth the plant 
can make. In long distance performance it 
is seldom equalled, holding five year pro- 
duction records in many states. It is soft 
and therefore feedable and is adapted for 
either hand or machine picking. MIS- 
SOURI No. 148 probably has the widest 
range of adaptability as to climate, lati- 
tude, altitude and soil of any hybrid 
adapted to the central Mid-South and near 
Southwest. The plants are medium in size, 
have strong vitality, are remarkably effi- 
cient in plant food assimilation, are able to 
live up to their opportunity on either rich 
or poor land. MISSOURI No. 148 IS OUR 
MOST POPULAR HYBRID.

McMULLIN “CROST-RITE” MISSOURI 8. (Yel- 
low.) One of the oldest and most favorably 
known hybrids and because of its splendid 
performance continues to be one of the 
most popular varieties. Into it the breeders 
combine the good qualities which every 
hybrid should have: productivity, strong 
stalk, deep root system, abundance of 
pollen and head, drought and insect re- 
sistance, all of which make it the most 
outstanding hybrid of all where the going 
is difficult. We recommend it for the hill 
sections, where the soil is sandy or the 
fertility level is low. Therefore, because of 
its splendid performance under such difficult 
conditions, it will make remarkable yields
