BRAND SEED CORN 
All hybrids we offer are produced from _ in-

breeders. They include inbreds of outstanding 
merit by Wisconsin and other State Hxperiment 
Stations and the S. Department of Agri- 
culture. Here are some of the outstanding 
features of Wisconsin Hybrids. 
1. Cold tolerance for good stands and vigorous 
seedling growth, 
2. Wide range of maturities 
climatic and soil conditions. 
8. Standability and stock rot resistance. 
4, Good quality and high yield of silage. 
5, Satisfactory husking qualities. 
6. High yield of sound ears that keep well in 
the crib. 
q7. Solid ears with small cobs and deep kernels 
giving high shelling percentage. 
8. Wisconsin Certified: Wisconsin field inspected 
and laboratory tested by Wisconsin official state 
seed certification service, to insure pure strains 
and high quality of seed. 
DO YOU KNOW? 
97% of all the corn grown in Wisconsin is 
now hybrid. It has increased the corn yield 
for Wisconsin farmers by millions of bushels. 
Yor a ten-year period from 1931 to 1940, be- 
fore hybrid was introduced, the average yield 
throughout Wisconsin was 32.2 bushels per acre. 
From 1941 to 1950, the first years that hybrids 
were offered, the yield was 43.7 per bushel per 
acre. In 1952, 58 bushel per acre, and 1953, 
to fit different 
58.5 bushel per acre, which was the highest aver- 
age yield of any state. 
Wisconsin Hybrid Seed Corn is bred for cold 
tolerance. The trays of sprouted seed show 
the extreme differences in cold tolerance be- 
tween hybrids when germinated in soil at 
bO- EH. 14 days. 
WISCONSIN CERTIFIED 80-DAY 
HYBRIDS NO. W240 AND W255 
W240 is a very early Flint-Dent Hybrid. Me- 
dium size ears, and kernels semi-flinty. Produces 
good yields of grain and silage in the extreme 
northern belt. No. 255 is slightly later. The ears 
are good size with deep kernels, and a_very 
small cob, giving high shelling percentage. Yields 
good grain and silage in the northern zone.
