MORE PROFIT FOR CORN FARMERS 
FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS, our research team 
has worked constantly on many projects aimed 
at improving yield and performance of corn. 
There have been disappointments. But nearly 
every year we have seen new G-Hybrids pay 
off with more bushels per acre of better corn 
for our customers. 
In the last two or three years we have worked 
extensively with cytoplasmic hybrids—which 
now are making exceptional records for yield 
and fine field performance. 
And—HERE’S THE BIG NEWS FOR 1955— 
our research in thick planting has produced a 
number of new G-Hybrids that stand well and 
produce exceptionally high yields of high 
quality corn when planted at higher rates on 
soils of balanced fertility. THESE HYBRIDS ARE 
NOW READY TO GO TO WORK FOR YOU. 
Soon after hybrid corn was introduced, it 
was easy to see that good soil management and 
built-up fertility could boost yields by 30, 40, 
50—even 100%. Along with that, we started to 
plant three kernels instead of two to the hill. 
Next, good farmers and experiment stations 
began to plant still thicker. Plant populations 
of 20,000 per acre or even higher were tried. 
And then we saw that many hybrids just 
couldn’t get the job done. Severe lodging, low- 
ered quality of corn, heavy field losses with 
mechanical harvesting, and barren stalks were 
often the penalty of thick planting. 
Since 1948 we have worked to develop 
G-Hybrids that would overcome these prob- 
lems, We found new germ plasm. We brought 
the factors into balance. And now we offer new 
and improved G-Hybrids to give the maximum 
in vield and quality and profitable returns on 
an investment in soil improvement. 
These new G-Hybrids—tested and proven— 
are now available for farmers who want to get 
the highest possible yields under thick plant- 
ing, from Canada to the Gulf, and from the 
Rockies to the Atlantic. Your Dealer can tell 
you the right G-Hybrid to plant thicker on 
higher fertility for best results on your farm. 
You never know! Drouth may hit your farm this year—or you 
may have too much rain, starting with a cold wet spring... 
insect pests or disease may attack. One or more of these hazards 
of big corn crops are sure to strike your farm sometime. And 
when they do—you need Balanced 5-STAR G-HYBRIDS. 
Here’s why: Every Funk’s G-Hybrid comsrngs all the 5-Star 
factors (listed at left) —bred-in for resistance to corn crop haz- 
ards. None more important than the rest—but a TEAM, always 
ready. That’s BALANCED 5-STAR PERFORMANCE .. 
. developed 
and improved by over 35 years of research, to make Funk’s 
G-Hybrids Consistently Good, Year after Year.
