about twenty-four to the ear, as against 

 about fourteen rows in Stowell's. The 

 kernels not only are long but are re- 

 markably free from starch, one of the 

 disadvantages of Stowell's Evergreen 

 from a canner's point of view. Mr. 

 Leonard thinks the narrow-grained 

 strain will be widely used by canners 

 who have been using the old type of 

 Evergreen and that it will also be used 

 by many who have used Country Gen- 

 tleman. The latter is not so easily 

 placed with farmers in some sections, 

 because Evergreen yields more heavily 

 and, making a larger stalk, leaves the 

 farmer more feed than he gets from 

 Country Gentleman.
