SOMETHING NEW IN 
SWEET COHN —The fact has 
long been known that the 
crossing of two distinct types 
of plants almost always 
causes an increase in vigor. 
Only recently plant breeders 
have used this principle to 
increase the yielding capac¬ 
ity of Sweet Corn. It has 
been found by inbreeding, cer¬ 
tain characteristics are made 
stronger and can be depended 
upon to act a certain way 
when combined with others. 
Hybrid Corn is a result of the 
crossing of two or more in- 
bred strains in such a way 
that certain good characteris¬ 
tics of each are retained. Seed 
should not be saved from 
crops grown from hybrid seed. 
HYBRID AND TOP CROSS 
SWEET CORN — Vigorous, 
sturdy plants, a good sound 
ear on every stalk, no weak 
and spindling plants, few nub¬ 
bins or mouldy ears. These 
are some of the outstanding 
characteristics of crossed 
corn. It is all these desirable 
features combined that enable 
this new kind of corn to out- 
yield the old standard vari¬ 
eties, year after year, and un¬ 
der all sorts of conditions.

Qimckino 76 days- During the past few years a good 
f-.any ounbnme many varieties of the Golden Bantam type 
have been introduced, but Early Sunshine is without doubt one of 
the best of them all. This is a cross between the E'nglish variety 
Sunrise and the Golden Bantam developed by Prof. A. F. Yeager of 
the North Dakota Agricultural College. It is some earlier than 
Golden Bantam and is twelve rowed instead of eight. Its rich golden 
color appeals to the eye. Sweetness and tenderness are among its 
other good points and the grains remain succulent longer than nearly 
any other variety. I am sure if you plant part of your garden to 
this you will be so well pleased with the results that you will want 
to renew its acquaintance each year.
