The World’s Greatest Yielder—Many Report 50 to 75 Tons Per Acre. 
For many years T have worked on this World’s Famous Ensilage Corn, Selecting and Reselecting 
Pure Bred Seed and today I feel safe in saying it leads all others in growth of fodder-producing 
stalks 18 to 22 feet liigli. The leaves are broad and long', they start forming at lower end of 
stalk and continue to the very top. It lias strong root system thereby not affected by wind 
or tlraught. I produce this seed South of the Ohio River and do not recommend it to 
ripen as far North as Rockford. It is solely a silo filler and one acre will produce 
'2 more tons of feed than 5 acres of ordinary corn. If you desire hard ripe corn in 
your silo, plant one row of Goliath and one of native corn. That way you get max- 
imuni yield, maximum feeding value from minimum acreage. Plant a few 
“ 'A/Sov Beans in'each hill—iMakes a wonderful combination feed.

Silver King or 
Wisconsin No. 7 
1578 Sweet Corn 
Giant Evergreen for Fodder 
This variety will gi’ow 9 to 10 feet high and 
produce a great amount of fodder. It will in- 
crease the production of milk wonderfully, 
when fed to dairy cows. Stalks are sweet, 
variety but one of the best anil heaviest /-A 
yieiiiers of ail varieties of eorii for tho i. 
Northern states. It came from northern Iowa ^ j 
to Wisconsin in 1904. Now it is well known and 
a standard sort. It is a big yielder. Tlie Oiiieial 
Ueseription from Wisconsin College of Agriculture 
Corn Bulletin No. 170. hs as follows: 
“This variety is a uniform creamy wtiite in color and has 
a slight roughnes.s of kernel. The cob is glistening white. 
The lengtli of ears varies from 7 to 10 inches. Tlie standard 
length is from S'j to 9"a inches. ^ 
"The foundation stock of Silver King was secured from John xyKJiS 
Banks, Algona, Iowa, by the Wisconsin Experiment' Station in 1904. 
Since that time it lias been improved by ear-to-row breeding and adapted 
to Wisconsin climatic conditions. This variety breeds true to type and is 
one of the best yieiders. Reports from Experiment Association members show 
a six year average yield of 62.1 bushels per acre, an increase of 18.9 bushels 
above the state average.”

Improved 
Learning 
The Learning is the 
oldest distinct variety of ^ 
coi n, having been originated Gyy j/ 
in 1826. It is a standard yellow 
corn, well adapted to northern and 
central Illinois and the most of Iowa, 
and similar latitudes. In fact, it is gro.wn with success m south¬ 
ern AVisconsin and is in great demand in the north for silage. 
Not quite as large and not quite as late as Reid’s Yellow Dent. 
Not a large corn, but the best thing I know of for medium early. 
I offer the pure strain Gold Mine, and recommend it. Description 
—With the expert corn farmer Gold Mine is known as medium early, 
between the 110 day and the extra earl.v sorts that mature in eighty- 
five days. It is, however, a great luoducer and sure cropper. Ears 
are medium, .symmetrical. Color bright golden yellow. The grain 
is deep and the cob is small. For tliis reason it dries out quickly, 
producing sixty-two to sixty-three pounds of shelled corn to seventy 
pounds of ears. Stalks make excellent silage or fodder. Adapted— 
Iowa' Gold Mine will grow in nearly every state in the Union, and is 
especially recommended for the AVestern corn belt. All throughout 
the Eastern States, where the climate does not demand an extra 
early variety, it is very popular. Has been tried all over the South 
with nothing but the best results. 
Leading standard yellow variety originated by Mr. James L. 
Eeid of Illinois many years ago, wlio fixed a type that experts 
have failed to change for the better. In my opinion the most 
popular sort of yellow corn grown in the United States. I 
offer pure type of this leading standard variety, which is among 
tho best all around purpose Yellow Dent Corn grown. Descrip¬ 
tion—Color deep yellow, with lighter cap. Grain very deep, 
closely packed; butt and tips almost entirely covered over. 
Slightly rough, with grains dented on top. Leaves and stalks 
of Ecid’s Yellow Dent make the finest ensilage and fodder. 
Matures in 110 days. Adapted—Ecid’s Yellow Dent is adapted 
to central and southern portions of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois, 
Eastern Kansas and Oklahoma, Southeastern Nebraska, Missouri, 
Texas, Arkansas, liOuisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, 
Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia.
