planted in a separate field and from that 

 time on were never allowed to mix with 

 other com. Mr. Eiley selected a smaller, 

 earlier maturing ear than was prevalent 

 in the White Mastodon and as a result 

 of persistent work he secured earlier 

 maturity, deepened the grain and in- 

 creased the proportion of corn to cob. 

 The new variety was named after the 

 originator's home county, Boone County 

 White. 



About three years after Mr. Eiley put 

 this variety out among the farmers, O. 

 G. Block, of Champaign county, Illinois, 

 began breeding it. He is perhaps the 

 best known breeder of this corn after 

 its originator. By this work Mr. Block 

 deepened the kernel materially, in- 

 creased the roughness and also the cir- 

 cumference in proportion to the length. 



The Missouri standard for this variety 

 calls for ears ten and one-half to eleven 

 inches long and seven an;1 one-half to 

 oight inches in circumference. They are 

 cylindrical, or nearly so, in shape, hav- 

 ing straight rows which number from 

 sixteen to twenty on the average. The 

 spacing between the rows is of medium 

 width. The butts are fairly large at the 

 shank and only moderately rounded. 

 The tips are blunt, with a tendency 

 toward good kernels extending well 

 out to the end. The cob is rather 

 large. The kernels are medium to wide, 

 rather thick and of medium depth. They 

 have slightly curved sides, a square 

 shoulder at the tip and are pearly white 

 in color. The germ is generally large 

 and bright, extending well up into the 

 kernel. The indentation varies accord- 

 ing to the breeder from a smooth elon- 

 gated dimple to a short beak.

The Boone County White is a medium 

 late-maturing variety, requiring from 

 120 to 125 days for complete ripening. 

 The stalks are strong and thick and 

 grow to an average height of about 

 eight and one-half feet for the state. 

 The stalks are medium leafy and make 

 good silage and fodder. The corn ma- 



tures well in the field, with an excep- 

 tionally high per cent of marketable 



corn.
