Nine varieties were grown in 1913, but, because of drought, 

 no grain was produced except in a plot of Yellow Dent. The best 

 yields were obtained from Plickory King, and a variety obtained 

 from the Pima Indians. 



In 1914, the season was much more favorable than in 1913, and 

 a fair yield of ear corn was obtained from plots of White Flint, 

 Blue Hopi, and Minnesota King. The best yield of forage was 

 produced on a plot of Hickory King. 



In 1915, 2133 pounds of ear corn per acre were produced on a 

 small plot of White Hopi, and 2000 pounds of ear corn per acre on 

 a plot of Australian White Flint. In general, yields were quite 

 satisfactory and represent profitable returns from corn grown in 

 the Snowflake vicinity for ensilage purposes.
