BUSHELS OF 



AIR-DRY 



CORN 



(4) If corn of a uniform color is desired, yellow and white 

 varieties should not be crossed as the kernels will not be 

 of uniform color in the year following the cross, at which 

 time the beneficial results from* crossing will be expected. 



The production of crossed seed is not a difficult matter 

 provided the seed-plot is not located near other corn fields.
