Droughtproof 
Yellow Dent Corn 
Resists Drought and Scorching Heat 
Better Than Any Other Variety 
Droughtproof originated in Erie 
County, Ohio, and came to us through 
Mr. C. 8. Clark, from whom we origi- 
nally obtained the celebrated Early 
Mastodon that today is well and fa- 
vorably known in all sections of the 
country. Mr. Clark wrote to us in 
1901 that if we wanted something dis- 
tinctly better than anything on the 
market in the way of a bright yellow 
dent corn, he had it, and would give 
us the first chance at it. It took us 
but a short time to place with Mr. 
Clark probably the largest order ever 
given for any variety of corn the first 
year; in fact, we took Mr. Clark’s en- 
tire crop. 
Our own field notes in regard to 
Droughtproof Yellow Dent were in 
substance a follows: 
The largest grain of any Yellow 
Dent Corn. The smallest cob of any 
Yellow Dent Corn. Brightest color of 
grain. Fully as early as Leaming. 
Yield not excelled by any other sort. 
Strong growth of stalk and hand- 
some ear. An unusual yield of 
shelled corn insured by great depth 
of grain. 
We do not hesitate to say that, all 
points considered—its beautiful color, 
small cob, long yellow grains, large 
ears—taking all points combined, it SS SS _ CS SS Sa

Johnson County 
White Dent 
A Single Ear Has Won 
$1,000 in Prizes 
This wonderful white dent 
corn is one of the sensations 
among progressive farmers. Dur- 
ing the Chicago and Omaha Na- 
tional Corn Expositions, this 
variety has captured prizes 
amounting to $10,183.50. It has 
also won the Grand Prize at the 
St. Louis Exposition ,and the 
Silver Medal at the Paris Expo- 
sition. The reason for this is 
because it complies with the 
\ score card more than any other 
corn grown. The high breeding : Ss S= 
of this variety makes it uniform (SSS 
in exhibit. The ears are cylin- =e 
drical in shape up to within 
about 2 inches of the tip. Both 
kernel and cob are white. The 
tips of the ears are well filled, a 
large percentage being complete- 
ly covered with grain. The ker- 
nels are uniform in size and 
very long and wedge-shaped. 
The ears will average about 10 
inches in length and from 73 to 
8 inches in circumference. There 
is very little space between the 
rows and this variety yields a 
very high percentage of shelled 
eorn. The stalk is good and 
thrifty, ranging in height from 
10 to 12 feet. Matures in about 
110 days. This corn has been 
known to yield from 100 to 125 
bushels per acre.
