NORTHRUP, KING & CO’S DEPENDABLE STERLING SEED CORN 
Sterling Silo Corn 
In the grading of our Sterling Seed Corn, we separate round kernels 
from the flat. These round kernels are blended with flat seed in a little 
larger proportion than the crop runs to make up our Sterling Silo Corn. 
This grade of seed corn has proven quite popular where thicker plant¬ 
ing for ensilage is practiced and even drops of 3 kernels per hill are not 
necessary. Sterling Silo Corn sells at a lower price than Sterling Seed 
Corn and has proven much more satisfactory than Fodder corn for 
ensilage. The main reason is the higher percentage of dry matter in en¬ 
silage made from Sterling Silo compared to the later maturing more 
southern grown Fodder corn. Dry matter in ensilage, of course, is its 
feed content. 
Later maturing corn appears to be giving high ensilage yields only 
because of the higher percentage of water. Water, of course, can be pro¬ 
duced more economically from the well than in the field.
