FIELD AND ROASTING EAR CORN 
(For Sweet Corn, See Page 18.) 
Plant 7 pounds (1% peck) per acre or 56 pounds (1 bushel) to 8 acres. 
Dixie 18 Hybrid Corn 
Kilgore’s field corn seed is grown in isolated fields 
from the highest yielding pedigreed strains. 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 over- 
sized and undersized grains. 
To increase yields with field corn in Florida two 
things are essential, namely closer spacing and ample 
fertilizer. On good land 20 to 26 inch spacing in 38- 
inch rows is best with 500 lbs. per acre of fertilizer at 
planting time followed by side dressings of nitrate of 
soda up to 300 lbs. per acre about 5 weeks after 
planting. 
The number of days indicated after each item 
represents the time from seed planting to harvest under 
average spring conditions in Florida.

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 with two ears 
on 20% to 25% of the plants. 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 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 
general 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 genera- 
tion 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. 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 Station in south Georgia in cooperation 
with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Dixie 18 is 
the best yellow hybrid corn for central and north 
Florida and south Georgia; 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 uniform and borne low down on the plant. It 
makes a semi-hard corn and is very desirable for 
‘hogging off’. The grain is yellow and intermediate 
in texture being harder than Whatley. Has good re- 
sistance to weevil.

FUNK’S G-737A HYBRID. (95 days.) This new yellow 
corn has given excellent results in numerous com- 
mercial trials in the Everglades muck and offers fine 
possibilities for other sections of the state. It con- 
sistently makes high yields (two ears per stalk) of at- 
tractive, 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 many others.
