FODDER CORN 
HOW TO GROW FIELD CORN 
Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the importance of carefully' selecting 
the location for growing Field Corn. No ground should be chosen that is low, or 
damp during any period of the corn's growth. The ideal soil is one that is deep, 
rich, and contains a little sand. Clay soils are inclined to be too heavy and hard. 
If a location that has recently been in sod cannot be obtained, stable manure 
should be used, as this will much more than repay the trouble in added yield. 
The plowing should be as deep as practical and the soil well pulverized. Best 
results are obtained where tillage is frequent as long as the size of the growing 
corn will permit. In the dairying region of Skagit County where hundreds of 
acres are grown every year, it is customary to plant the seed in drills, using 
abount twenty pounds to the acre. 
MINNESOTA NO. 13 (Dent). This corn 
is the earliest and most productive of all 
yellow dent com.. Besides being adapted 
to a wider range of climate and soils than 
any other corn, it will produce the greatest 
amount of ensilage of any of the kinds now 
grown with success west of the Cascade 
Mountains. Our stock is grown from 
finest selected stock and carefully tested 
for germination. 
Prices — Postpaid, lb., 20c; 10 lbs. or 
more at 15c per lb. Write for prices on 50 
lbs. or over. 
EARLY NORTHWESTERN (Smoky Dent). 
The earliest dent corn grown. The kernel 
is red, being a cross between a red dent 
and a yellow dent. While this corn does 
not produce as great a quantity of stalk as 
the Minnesota No. 13, it will mature a much 
greater number of ears, and so is especially 
adapted for feeding hogs. 
Prices — Postpaid, lb., 20c; 10 lbs. or 
more, 15c per lb. Write for prices on 50 
lbs. or over.
