DIBBLE’S Gomell U- 
OUR OUTSTANDING VARIETY FOR BEST IN 
Corcll 7-4 
IS THE BEST DUAL-PURPOSE 
VARIETY FOR HUSKING 
AND SILAGE 
GRAIN YIELD 
A new yellow dent variety introduced to the farmer for the first time 
in 1953. Maturing in about 110 days, this variety has been an outstanding 
yielder for grain with a moisture content at harvest low enough for safe 
cribbing m western New York State and like areas. Its characteristics are 
very similar to Cornell M-1. It has a very strong stalk, large ears and is 
easily husked, with ears high enough above the ground for mechanical 
pickers. We feel that M-4 will be the outstanding Corn hybrid used in 
New York State for gram production. This hybrid is tall, dark green and 
leafy, for excellent early to medium silage. 
R. G. Wiggans, Professor of Plant Breeding, N. Y. State College of 
Agriculture, after inspecting Cornell M-4 in the College seed plots, 
finds that no other hybrid can surpass this variety. This early hybrid 
has consistently produced more dry shelled grain per acre at elevations 
of 400 to 800 feet than later hybrids which carry 5 to 10 per cent more 
moisture at harvest.
