CORN 



Fig. 6. A sample of eight-row flint corn. 



flint corn often gives yields comparable with the dent and 

 is high in feeding value. This corn is readily recognized 

 by the smooth flinty surface of the kernels. Many of the 

 flint varieties have but eight rows to the ear ; some have 

 twelve, and fourteen rows are quite common. Some of 

 the leading varieties of flint corn are Yellow Flint, White 

 Flint, Red Flint, Blue Flint, Smut Nose Flint, Sanford's 

 Flint, and King Philip Flint. 



Dent corn is so called on account of the dent in the
