MAGNOLIA SEED CORN âA Most Important Crop Texas Hybrid Seed Corn Tests have proved that we cannot say too much for Texas Hybrid Seed Corn. The yield that results from the planting of Hybrid Seed Corn in comparison with open pollinated varieties so far exceeds the small additional cost of the seed that it is unwise to plant open pollinated types unless the Hybrids are not available. You can count definitely upon an increase in yield of at least 20% when you plant H

MAGNOLIA SEED CORN âA Most Important Crop Texas Hybrid Seed Corn Tests have proved that we cannot say too much for Texas Hybrid Seed Corn. The yield that results from the planting of Hybrid Seed Corn in comparison with open pollinated varieties so far exceeds the small additional cost of the seed that it is unwise to plant open pollinated types unless the Hybrids are not available. You can count definitely upon an increase in yield of at least 20% when you plant Hybrid rather than open pollinated types. In order to produce Hybrid Corn it is necessary to inbreed until absolutely pure strains of corn are available. This usually takes about six years. Following; that, there is a single cross breeding between two strains, and then a final cross breed- ing either between two single crosses or between a single cross and an open polli- nated corn. Seed Corn must be acclimated to the con- ditions under which it will be grown for crop purposes. One or two northern producers are developing strains adapted to Texas conditions. It is still wise, how- ever, to plant Texas-produced varieties. Our seeds are grown under the supervision of the Field Seed Certification Division of the Department of Agriculture of Texas, and are State Certified. We sincerely be- lieve that they will produce the best pos- sible yields for you. No. 8: A yellow cross between Texas State Certified Yellow Surecropper an Hybrid 127C x 132A. This corn is adapted for planting in the north and central parts of Texas. It is quite earworm resistant. Grains are large, and yields have been very satisfactory. No. 12: A yellow cross between KYSxK4 and 127Cxl32A. This cross is recommended for any region in the state where corn is successfully grown, with the exception of the Gulf Coast region. Yields from this corn have been the highest of any of the Hybrid Seed Corns, but it is somewha
