PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF OF EARLINESS 
On the left is a trial row of ordinary Golden Bantam. On the right is Kingscrost Golden 
Bantam. Both rows were planted at the same time. The Kingscrost is completely in tassel 
while only a few of the ordinary Golden Bantam plants have produced tassels. 
Comparing yields in Northrup, King & Co.’s Corn Breeding Grounds. The crop of each 
new combination is harvested, husked and weighed—then the kernels are cut off the cobs 
and the cut corn weighed and compared with the yield of rows of ordinary stock grown in 
adjoining rows. We make nearly 500 such yield comparisons each year on seed com.
