Boone County White. 
PRIDE OF THE PRAIRIE. This is a rather new 
White Corn which has been grown the past few years 
with excellent results in Northern Kansas and Sou- 
thern Nebraska- 
It iS* a very heavy white corn, shelling out from 
60 to 62 pounds of shelled corn from 70 pounds 
of crib run ear corn. It is an excellent yielder, 
and highly drought-resistant. A reliable grower in 
central Nebraska writes: "Although the past sea- 
son (1921) was somewhat dry for corn in this locality, 
this corn m.ade 75 bushels per acre." This corn has 
large and strong stalks, with heavy 
foliage. The ears are quite large, av- 
eraging 9 to 11 inches in length, and 
weighing from 16 to 22 ounces. The 
ears have from 24 to 32 rows of very 
deep grain. It matures in 100 to 110 
days. For the pasl; seven years this 
corn has had most careful selection 
and cultivation by an expert seedsman 
on a large farm devoted entirely to 
seed corn. It does well on both upland 
and low land, and it is certainly worthy 
of a trial on any farm. Per lb., 10c.

PRIDE OF SALINE. The Kansas Agricultural 
College reports that Pride of Saline is the^ highest 
yielding variety of any that were grown in co- 
operative variety tests throughout central Kansas. 
Pride of Saline is a medium early, about like 
Silver Mine' and Reid's. The ears are of medium 
size, the corn is pearly white, medium short, ' 
quite rectangular in shape and rather hard. 
It is not a show corn but is a sure money- 
maker. In variety tests at Manhattan it out- 
yielded every other variety for three straight 
years. It is especially recommended for central 
and western Kansas, for early corn in eastern 
Kansas, and for other localities where conditions 
of soil and climate are not the best for corn grow- 
ing. If you want to fill your corn crib, plant Pride 
of Saline. Lb., 10c. 
BOONE COUNTY WHITE. (100 days.) Me- 
dium late, and in our opinion the best white corn 
for bottom lands and good soil. The eai's are of 
large size, well proportioned, well rounded at 
butt and tip. The up to date type has a deep 
narrow grain giving the largest possible amount 
of corn to the cob. This variety yields well, even 
in a dry season. Lb., 10c. 
IOWA SILVER MINE. (90 days.) The stalk 
grows to a height of 7 or 8 feet, and set the ears 
about three and a half to four feet from the 
ground. The ears measure from ten to twelve 
inches in length. They are very uniform in size 
and shape, sixteen to twenty straight rows of 
deep, pure white kernels on a small cob. It is 
the heaviest yielder we know, having yielded over 
100 bushels to the acre. Seventy pounds of ears 
will make sixtv-two pounds of corn. Lb., 10c. 
HICKORY KING. (110 days.) This is an entirely 
distinct variety amongst the white corn, combining 
the largest grain with the smallest cob. A single 
grain will completely cover the cob of an ear broken 
in half. It is. a great yielder, giving more shelled 
corn to the acre bulk of ears than any other variety. 
It is satisfied with any kind of soil/ and will pro- 
duce good strong stalks, bearing two and occasion- 
ally three good ears. Lb., 10c. 
This corn, as the name indicates, is 
inclined to stool, and one grain will 
produce in many instances more than 
one stalk. Each stalk bears two or 
three ears five to seven inches in cir- 
cumference, nine to twelve inches in 
length, and beautifully white. It pro- 
duces an abundance of fodder, and is 
the best variety for ensilage. It 
yields 30 to 50 bushels of corn per 
acre, and the ears are fine for roast- 
ing, although not sweet. It does not 
require a very rich soil, and there- 
fore is the best variety for poor 
soils. The kernel contains more 
starch than any other corn, and ground 
and bolted by the same process as 
Hickory King, wheat, gives a fine flour. Lb., 15c.
