BLOOD TELLS—IN SEEDS AS IN EVERYTHING ELSE 
Golden Jewel—the most popular open pollinated high yielding Yellow Dent Corn grown in Minnesota. 
BETTER RETURNS FROM FEWER ACRES 
Many acres of corn land will be removed from production in 1935, 
the idea befog to reduce the surplus corn produced so that there will 
be just sufficient to take care of normal requirements. Such acres 
taken out of production can be profitably planted to pasture and meadow 
grasses, soil improvement crops, or smother crops. Many farmers have 
been growing inferior varieties of corn of poor yielding ability, thereby 
increasing the cost of production so that their land has returned no 
profits. It would be better to plant even fewer acres of highly bred 
varieties of corn which have been proven to be adapted to your 
locality and which will yield considerably more than many of the 
varieties now being grown. 
Yield tests conducted throughout southern Minnesota and northern 
Iowa have shown that our varieties are among the highest yielding kinds. 
We urge all of you who have not yet tried the new hybrid varieties 
of corn, to give them a trial this season. There will not be enough 
seed of the hybrid varieties to take care of all requirements and for 
those who_ are unable to purchase hybrid seed, we suggest the normal 
open pollinated varieties that we describe, practically all of which 
have been certified and approved by the Minnesota Crop Improvement 
Association, thus assuring you of obtaining seed corn that will give 
you good results. 
Seed Corn prices are still below normal and those of you who did not 
get started in 1934 with improved varieties can still do so in 1935 
at very little cost. 
GOLDEN JEWEL CERTIFIED 
Since our introduction of Golden Jewel Corn, there 
has been no variety of acclimated yellow dent corn in 
southern Minnesota and adjacent territories that pro¬ 
duced such large yields of 70 to 100 bus. or more per 
acre. Golden Jewel is the result of careful breeding 
and selection carried on by us on our own farms. 
In trials during the past few years made by the 
Minnesota Experiment Station, there was no variety of 
yellow dent corn that superseded it in quality and yield. 
The ears are of a golden yellow color, very compact, 
8 to 10 inches in length, 16 to 20 rows of medium deep, 
square shouldered kernels on a small red cob, and run 
from a moderately smooth to a slight rough ear. 
Golden Jewel produces an abundance of fodder for 
silage, as the stalks will grow 7 to 8 feet or more tall 
and the leaves are broad and succulent. It is wha,t is 
known as the 95 to 100-day corn. It is especially 
adapted to southern Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, 
southern Wisconsin, Illinois and other Corn Belt states. 
GOLDEN KING CERTIFIED 
A New High Yielding, Early Maturing Variety of Great 
Merit. 
Golden King Corn was developed by MacArthur in 
northern Iowa, near the Minnesota line. It was entered 
in the Iowa corn yield tests from 1923 up to the pres¬ 
ent date. It won high average over an eight-year period, 
the yield being 4 bus. more per acre with 4.3% less 
moisture than any other variety. 
Golden King Corn has been grown in southern Minne¬ 
sota for a number of years. It made such a good per¬ 
formance that it attracted the attention of the experi¬ 
ment station authorities who have now tested it for 
three seasons and found that it ripens about as early as 
the Hybrid varieties and yields among the highest with 
low moisture content. The market or feeding values 
are really determined by maturity, dryness and the 
weight per bushel. In these, Golden King excels all 
other standard varieties. 
We do not hesitate to recommend this variety for the 
southern parts of Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin 
and all other states in the Corn Belt. 
Golden King shows a much smaller percentage _ of 
barren stalks than any of the other standard varieties. 
It is next to the Hybrid varieties in this respect. 
RUSTLER WHITE DENT CERTIFIED 
This early variety, originated in North Dakota, is 
well acclimated to the Northwest. For early ripening, 
big yields and compact growth of ears, it is one of the 
best. The average height of the stalk is 8 feet. The 
ears are large, closely filled with large, deep kernels. 
Matures in 95 days. We know of no better all around 
dependable white dent corn than Rustler and recom¬ 
mend it for all sections of southern and central Minne¬ 
sota, Iowa, Wisconsin and South Dakota.

EARLY MURDOCK GOLDEN DENT 
CERTIFIED 
Murdock is a yellow dent variety in appearance quite 
similar to Golden Jewel except that it has fewer rows. 
The kernels are medium deep and have a wrinkled to 
pinched dent. Our strain is about 5 days earlier than 
the Golden Jewel and it produces high yields of very 
fine quality. Like the Golden Jewel, it has won many 
prizes and is very popular. The ears are 814 to 9% 
inches long, of a golden color, fairly compact and uni¬ 
form. Murdock is grown successfully as far north as 
central Minnesota and Wisconsin and is an excellent 
early variety for Illinois, Iowa and other states of the 
Corn Belt. It matures in about 92 to 97 days. Yield 
tests show Murdock to be outstanding as it produces 
from fi5 to 90 bus. per acre with an average of about 
80 " MINNESOTA IDEAL CERTIFIED 
This splendid large eared yellow dent corn, which 
we originated, is very productive. It is one of the 
standard corn varieties which are suitable for southern 
Minnesota and states of the Corn Belt. Minnesota 
Ideal is the largest eared yellow dent corn and matures 
a few days later than Minnesota No. 13. Under ordinary 
conditions its average yield is 80 to 85 bus. per acre 
and under favorable conditions and good culture, the 
yield has been 100 bus. per acre. Minnesota Ideal has 
a strong, vigorous root system and comparatively stiff 
stalks which enable it to stand up well. It is also an 
outstanding silage and fodder corn. 
NORTHWESTERN DENT CERTIFIED 
Northwestern Dent Corn is a cross between a red flint 
and a yellow dent, and has red kernels with light yel¬ 
lowish and cream shadings. No other variety is grown 
as extensively in North Dakota, northern Minnesota and 
Wisconsin as Northwestern Dent. Under ordinary con¬ 
ditions, it matures in 85 to 90 days, and under very 
favorable conditions, in 75 days. 
Northwestern Dent yields from 50 to 70 bushels per 
acre. The ears are of good size, 7 to 9 inches long, 
bearing 10 to 14 rows of kernels. The stalks average 
7 to 8 feet in height, bearing the ears about 3% feet 
from the ground. 
Because of its earliness and large yields, it is the 
corn for hogging down. 
SILVER KING OR WIS. NO. 7 
Silver King is the best main crop white dent variety 
for the southern part of Minnesota, Wisconsin, South 
Dakota, also is suited for northern Iowa and Illinois. 
It is grown very extensively and constant improvements 
in the variety have brought us to the point where it will 
outyield all other white dent varieties and many of 
the yellow dents. This variety is creamy white in color, 
with slightly rough kernels. The ears are well formed, 
8 to 10 inches long, 16 to 18 rows completely filled to 
the tip. . , ... , 
Silver King is a strong, leafy grower with heavy 
foliage which makes it very excellent for the silo. It 
matures in about 100 days. It is a fine show type corn 
and has won many prizes.
