ranks high in yield. It is tall and leafy, 13 to 15 feet 
high, with an enormous growth of fodder. It bears one to 
two ears to the stalk, the ears frequently over 12 inches. 
The grains are medium large, flinty, closely placed on a 
small cob and are very high in protein. The ears are resis¬ 
tant to corn ear worm, weevil, ear rot and are seldom 
unsound. It makes ensilage in about 100 days. Qt. 15c,
