DEKALB Brand XL Corn Varieties
in 1967 generally came through with
riper, drier, higher test-weight grain.
Early DeKalb Brand XL’s are bred to
stand the stresses of thick planting
and heavy fertilization. That’s why

DeKalbXL’sm 1966 and 1967 in DeKalb's
200 Bushel Club Fred Eynch says “The
grain is top quality with good test weight.”
Wm J Engle of Cochransville won the
National Corn Growing Pennsylvania
championship in both 1966 and 1967.
Engle, who produces over 1000 acres of
corn, says, “The best thing 1 can say about
XL-45 is that you can tell every time you
get into a field of it, no matter what other
hybrid variety you come from. It is better
corn.”
Harry J. Wolfe of Kutztown, Pa , says;
“5 years ago I went all DeKalb ” He plants
XL-342, XL-45 and XL-315 “I like the
extra test weight and yields I get,” says
Wolfe.

•'DEKALB is a Registered Brand Name.' XL numbers are variety designations.
they can usually match or better the
yields of later varieties, and still
avoid the risk of wet, spoiled, chaffy,
low-quality gram. Next time, go after
the corn that gets ripe. Go after sound,
high quality grain. Plant earlier
DEKALB Brand XL Corn Varieties.
