many years of careful selection. Registered seed will be

gone years of careful selection. Minnesota 13 matures in 90 
to 100 days. The ears set about 4 feet from the ground and 
average 7 to 10 inches long. The kernels are wedge shaped 
and of a bright, rich yellow color. 
Hartner’s Rainbow Flint is an early maturing corn for 
dry lands and short seasons. It is a flint, resembling White

Colorado Yellow Dent is by no means a fixed type of corn. 
Sometimes the grains resemble Minnesota 13 and sometimes 
are more like Pride of the North, or whiter, resembling 
Swadley. This corn variety, however, is thoroughly accli¬ 
mated, matures early, yields well, and withstands drought 
very satisfactorily.

Gehu Flint is a yellow dwarf, flint corn grow¬ 
ing 4 to 6 feet high. It matures in 80 to 90 
days. It is not a husking corn as the ears set 
close to the ground, but this makes it very de¬ 
sirable for early hogging down. It is the earliest 
yellow corn and its particular use is for short 
seasons and dry land planting.

grown by North Dakota Indians. It is often

Colorado Registered Corn. Increases 
the yield of corn. As corn is Colorado’s 
most important crop from the stand¬ 
point of acreage and produce yield, it 
would seem that it would be good policy 
to buy pedigreed seed, which has been 
bred for adaptability and yield over a 
long period of years. One strain of Colo¬ 
rado Registered Corn has made an aver¬ 
age yield of 73.3 bushels per acre in a 
five-year yield test on the experiment 
station at Fort Collins.
