inches in length and eight Inches in circumference. The kernels

The stalks attain an enormous height, bearing an abundance of 
large leaves.

rtJit Qf stalks and leaves that it is unsurpassed as an 
ensilage corn. It is not uncommon for Big Jim to produce from 
35 to 40 tons of green corn per acre when sown thickly enough. 
Furthermore, the feeding value of this silage is greatly increased 
by the heavy yield of grain.
