EARLY MICHIGAN CORN 
This variety is an improved strain of the White Cap Yellow Dent. The grain when shelled is a pale yellow 
shaded to white, the kernels set closely on the ears which are 7 to 9 inches long and produce an abundant yield. 
I nn D i._ The Early Michigan in ripening is quite similar to Flint Corn 
In %J v Degins lO as g| ar ts to ripen in about 90 days and in one week after 
that will be completely finished and ready to harvest. It is particularly adapted to thin clay soils and on this class 
of land will produce a larger crop of both stalks and ears than any other com. 
A C* J r ] C'rww For customers located in Northern latitudes who require 
urana HaXiy Lnsilage v^Urll. an ear iy variety for ensilage purposes, we are sure they 
will find the Early Michigan will give them most satisfactory results. We consider this variety a better sort than 
Luce’s Favorite and customers who want a well matured corn for their silos will find this variety just what they require. 
C 1 o 1 Q A of the very best ensilage can be cut from this corn, the tonnage 
from 1^10 lO 1 OnS per /ALrC depending upon the state of maturity of the crop when harvested. 
Large Russian Sunflower 
This heavy seeding variety of Sunflower is 
being extensively used in connection with 
corn for ensilage purposes, and is especially 
valuable on account of the high feeding value 
of the seed itself. The stalks when cut into 
the silo also make good fodder. We recom- 
mend using 5 lbs. of sunflower seed to each 
bushel of com. 
In many localities the use of sunflower 
seed along with the corn has been found to 
increase the food value and quantity of en- 
silage harvested per acre. 
Makes Good Ensilage 
when seeded alone. In localities so dry that 
corn does not prove a dependable crop, Sun- 
flower has been used to fill silos with entirely 
satisfactory results. 
For Northern Localities where 
the season is too short to produce a crop of 
com, Sunflower may be grown successfully 
and will yield practically the same tonnage 
per acre as corn and the ensilage equally 
good for horses, sheep and cattle.
