iS THE BEST DUAL-PURPOSE 
VARIETY FOR HUSKING 
AND SILAGE 
DIBBLE’S Cowell H- 
OUR OUTSTANDING VARIETY FOR 
BEST IN 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 crib- 
bing in 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 grain production. This hybrid is tall, dark green and leafy, for excellent 
early to medium silage. 
Since we have distributed Cornell M-4 it has maintained the highest pro- 
duction records against all other hybrids in New York State. 
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.
