Martens White Dent. — Kernels white with some yellow mixture, depth medium to 

 shallow; cob white; ear surface medium; quite variable in type. Seed secured 

 from northwestern Nebraska, where it has been grown without irrigation for a 



number of years. It 

 has occupied a high 

 rank for yield in a 

 number of tests and 

 seems to be a very 

 hardy, early-maturing 

 corn. It will mature 

 in all of this territory 

 except in localities of 

 shortest season and in 

 seasons when very 

 early frosts occur. 

 Typical ears are shown 

 in figure 3. 

 Brown County Yellow. — ■ 

 Kernels yellow, small; 

 cobs red; ear surface 

 medium to rough. 

 Seed secured from 

 eastern South Dakota. 

 This is a very early, 

 hardy corn and will ma- 

 ture in any part of this 

 territory. Under favor- 

 able conditions it will 

 not produce as heavily 

 as some of the larger 

 and later varieties. 

 Northwestern Dent. — Ker- 

 nels red with light-col- 

 ored caps; cobs white; 

 ear surface medium to 

 smooth; stalks short; 

 produces many suck- 

 ers. Seed secured from 

 central North Dakota. 

 Seed from different lo- 

 calities varies greatly 

 in time required to ma- 

 ture. Average seed 

 will mature in almost 

 any part of this terri- 

 tory. Particularly 

 adapted to localities 



having short growing
