The relative growth habits of these three varieties dur- 
ing 1914 is shown in Table 14. Hogue's Yellow Dent is a 
large variety of corn requiring the entire season to mature. 
Pride of the North is a small, early-maturing variety. Uni- 
versity No. 3 is normally somewhat earlier and smaller than 
Hogue's Yellow Dent.
