Cornell M-4—Excellent producer of grain and good for ensilage. 
957 CORNELL M-4. (New). Strong Stalks, Tremendous Yields. 
The best hybrid corn yet developed at Cornell, medium early and a 
great producer, widely adapted in Central and Western New York. Its 
high resistance to stalk and root rots means that it stands exceptionally 
well and is ideal for mechanical picking. Cornell M-4 is outstanding 
for its big crops of grain, consistently out-yielding many ‘later varie- 
ties, while having 5 to 10% less moisture for safer cribbing. The 
medium-sized ears are husked easily and we strongly recommend this 
hybrid as the finest general-purpose grain corn we offer. Also excellent 
for ensilage for early harvest and at higher elevations. 
Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 95c; Pk. (14 Lbs.) $3.75 postpaid to 5th Zone. 
Not paid: Bu. (56 Lbs.) $9.00; 2 Bu. $17.50. 
970 KINGSCROST M-2. (Replaces D-4) Valuable for Ensilage. 
This excellent midseason hybrid is recommended primarily for silage at 
moderate elevations and in cooler areas. It produces an abundance of 
wide, long dark green leaves on sturdy stalks and matures about in 
season with the old Cornell 29-3. The ears are notably long and dry 
quickly. We highly recommend this fine hybrid to produce the maxi- 
mum feeding value per acre.

973 SILOBRED. Heavy Yielding Hybrid Blend for Ensilage. 
Several vigorous hybrids are combined here to give maximum produc- 
tion for ensilage. The broad dark green leaves and thick succulent 
stalks are ideal for this purpose, and they remain green even when the 
ears are practically ripe. This means more tons of highly digestible 
ensilage with top feeding value! The plants do not grow too tall, 
making them easy to handle. Highly resistant to smut, withstands 
drought and does not lodge. Do not plant too thick. 1 bushel will 
sow 5 to 6 acres.

SOW DOMESTIC RYE GRASS ON YOUR CORN 
Provides Winter Cover, Also Fall and Spring Pasture. 
Instead of bare stubble in the fall, you can have a heavy growth of 
soil building turf by sowing Domestic Rye Grass in mid-summer right 
on your crop. In a few months, you will have a thick growth of grass 
with a deep, matted root system that is perfect to prevent erosion 
during the winter, preserve fertility, and add valuable humus when 
plowed under in the spring. No garden is too small, no grower too 
large, to be benefited by this soil-building winter cover crop. 
For home gardens, use 1 Lb. to 1000 square feet on virtyally all 
crops. For larger areas, as little as 12 to 15 lbs. per acre will givé a good 
cover. Early sweet corn and other spring crops should be turned under 
or disked down and the land then sowed to rye grass. 
1 Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 75c; 5 Lbs. $1.60; 10 lbs. $3.00 postpaid to 5th Zone. 
Not prepaid, 25 Lbs. or more at 19c per Lb. 
HYBRID FIELD CORN 
BEST VARIETIES FOR NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND 
Get the most from your corn—in short season areas especially, you 
must be sure.to plant the right hybrid. For grain, select one that will 
ripen fully before frost. For ensilage, one that will reach the hard 
dough stage (well-dented) at the time you want to harvest. Don’t be 
fooled by the large size of the big late varieties—they are mostly 
water and for actual food value, you get the most from ensilage corn 
in the hard dough stage. 
The excellent hybrids we offer have been carefully chosen as the best 
for New York and New England. They are adapted to our conditions 
and give maximum production. In order of maturity, they are: 
1. Flint-Dent Hybrid KF 4. Kingscrost M-2 
2. Kingscrost KE 5. Kingscrost KS 
3. Cornell M-4 6. Silobred 
We ship up to 14 Ibs. of Field Corn postpaid in the U.S. A. to the 5th Zone 
(about 1000 miles from Rochester.) Beyond that limit, please add 5c per Ib. for 
extra shipping charges. 
960 FLINT-DENT HYBRID KF. The Earliest Corn. 
Designed especially for high elevations and for northern areas where 
only the earliest corn will make a crop, KF is the outstanding extra 
early hybrid. A cross of flint and dent types, it has hard yellow kernels 
with a small dent in the cap, good leafiness and strong stalks. It is 
adapted to cold, comes up with great vigor and grows rapidly, matur- 
ing fully ripe corn in the shortest seasons. For best yields space to 
stand not over 9 in. apart in the row.

964 KINGSCROST KE. Fine Early Grain Type. : 
A very early yellow dent corn that will produce big yields even at high 
elevations and in the short season areas of New York and New England. 
Perfectly adapted to these areas, it is ideal for grain wherever the 
later corns do not always mature. 
The ears are large and well-filled with pure yellow kernels, and the 
stalks are short but vigorous and sturdy. It is a heavy-yielder, par- 
ticularly if planted fairly close (8 to 10 in. apart in the row). Com- 
pared with many others in the early class, this is an outstanding hybrid.

Not paid: Bu. (56 Lbs.) $11.75; 2 Bu. $23.00. 
967 KINGSCROST KS. Best Full Season Hybrid. 
We recommend this robust, sturdy hybrid to grow for husking in the 
more favorable corn sections of the state. It takes full advantage of our 
normal seasons yet is plenty early enough for ripe grain in Western 
New York and similar areas. The long well-filled ears are packed with 
smooth deep yellow kernels and the plants retain their green color until 
frost. For the silo, it is excellent for it reaches proper maturity early 
enough to be grown even at moderate elevations, and it is smut-re- 
sistant, stiff-stalked and a tremendous yielder.
