FIELD AND ROASTING EAR CORN 
(For Sweet Corn, See Page 18.) 
Plant 7 pounds (114 peck) per acre or 56 pounds (1 bushel) to 8 acres. 
Typical ears of Dixie 18 Hybrid Corn 
Kilgore’s field corn seed is grown in isolated fields from the 
highest yielding pedigreed strains. The most perfect ears are 
selected, carefully dried and run over a large conveyor table, 
where expert corn pickers throw out every ear that is unsound, 
diseased or off-type. Only large ears with deep grain, straight 
rows and good tip and butt are saved. Each ear is hand-tipped 
and butted, shelled and carefully graded to remove cracked, 
oversized and undersized grains. 
To increase yields with field corn in Florida two things are 
essential, namely, closer spacing, and ample fertilizer. On 
good land 18 to 24” spacing in the row is best with 400 to 500 
Ibs. per acre of a 4-7-5 fertilizer, followed by side dressings of 
Nitrate of Soda up to 300 lbs. per acre about 5 weeks after 
planting. :

CUBAN YELLOW FLINT. (96 days.) This special strain is 
deep rooted, therefore can be given closer spacing than other 
varieties. If given close spacing it will yield as much as any 
prolific corn. From 20 to 25% of the plants will produce two 
ears. Produces larger ears, longer grains, and heavier yields 
than other strains of this variety. Weevil resistant due to the 
long, tight, heavy and very tough husks. Seed is lemon to 
orange-yellow in color, with about 95% white cobs, 5% red 
cobs. Produces well in extremely wet or dry seasons, and is 
recommended in all parts of Florida where extreme resistance 
to weevil damage is desired.

IMPROVED GOLDEN DENT. (86 days.) A wonderful yielder, 
and does splendidly here in Florida. It is planted extensively 
for early use, but is too soft for a gemeral crop. Has large, 
deep, broad grains, and is desirable for early feed.

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 
resistance. ,

FUNK’S G-737 HYBRID. (95 days.) This new yellow corn 
has given phenomenal results in numerous commercial 
trials in the Everglades muck of Florida and offers splendid 
possibilities 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.
