Com Belt and one for the

been released in in
troductory quantities for

The earliest maturing of
the new hybrids is G-4171, a
95 day 3-way hybrid which is
adapted to the far northern
com growing regions. G-4171
performed well as an ex

hybrid also features good
stalk quality.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 4,1978
In the 100-day maturity,
group 2 classification is G
-4224. A single cross, G-4224
has excellent stalk quality
and yields exceptionally well
when grown as a mid to full
season hybrid. G-4224 is
widely adapted across the
entire Com Belt.
G-4323 is a high yielding
single cross with a maturity
rating of 110 days. It features
long slender ears with ex
ceptional grain quality.
Tests show that G-4323 dries
down fast and has good stalk
and root structure. Its
moisture at harvest is
comparable to one of Funk’s
leading hybrids, G-4321A.

G-4583 is a high yielding 3-
way cross with good heat
and drought tolerance. It can
be used in dryland as well as
irrigated management
systems. It features good
stalk and superb grain
quality. G-4583 is tolerant to
Leaf Freckles and Wilt
(Goss’s Wilt).
For the Eastern Corn Belt,
G 4606 is particularly well
suited. It is a consistent
superior yielder under both
stress and optimum growing
conditions. It can be planted
at high populations and
stands well, even under
tough conditions.
G-4709 is a new single
cross that is well adapted to
the Mid and Deep South. It
features good early vigor
and consistent performance.
G-4709 is particularly well
suited to center pivot
irrigation because of its
medium height.

decline in the number of
farmers and farms. In 1967

the state, by 1972 this had
dropped to 18,200 and by 1977
was down to 17,500. Farm
acreage also slipped from
3.35 million acres a decade
ago, to an estimated 2.9
million Maryland acres in
farms today.
