(Bull. 12, Central Experimental Farm, June,’91.) 
Richard Gibson of Delaware, Ont., highly rec- 
ommends the Butler Co. Dent.* He says: “For 
the silo, it grows just as much forage in propor- 
tion to corn as is profitable; and for the erib, 
more bushels of shelled corn to bushels of ears 
than any corn I have yet grown.” He thinks 
it superior to Longfellow in earliness and yield.
