The variety you use Is very Important. You cannot afford to 
put the greater part of your com acreage In the silo and our 
experience has shown some kinds are much more adapted to 
plant for the silo. If you are feeding for beef, we suggest you 
plant Lancaster Sure Crop, or Clarage, page 42, unless soil Is 
very poor when one of the ensilage kinds Is best, preferably 
Conner's Prolific. If feeding for milk production, the varieties 
below are unexcelled. 
Conner’s Prolific Ensilage 
YIELDS TWO TO SIX EARS ON EACH STALK 
Description. The color of the grain is white, the average 
length of the ears is 8^ inches, and each stalk bears from 
two to six ears. The stalks range in height from twelve to 
fourteen feet, according to season and fertility of the soil. 
This wonderful new variety makes an abnormal growth pro¬ 
ducing an abundance of foliage and a greater tonnage than any 
other ensilage we have ever produced. It stands up well, is 
a quick, vigorous grower and beyond doubt, the best ensilage 
variety you can grow. If you have grown it you will want 
it again this year. If you have not as yet tried this kind you 
cannot afford not to plant at least a portion of your field and 
notice the difference. Seed Corn prices on page 44. 
Reid’s Yellow Dent 
We have developed a late maturing variety of Reid’s Yellow 
Dent that we are proud to tell you ranks with the very best of 
the ensilage varieties. The ears are very large which will Insure 
an abundance of corn. The foliage is dense and you will be 
surprised at the small acreage that will be required to fill your 
silo. Nor is it too late to mature for you in the ordinary year. 
It has the same identical description as given on page 42, except 
it is a few days later in maturing. Prices on page 44. 
Johnson County White 
Corn pure white and cob same color. The ears run from ten 
to eleven inches in length and about eight inches in circumfer¬ 
ence. The stalks make a good vigorous growth, well braced 
with a good system of brace roots, capable of withstanding severe 
wind storms, as well as drought. It is a variety very rich in 
protein, hence valuable for feeding purposes, also valuable for 
silo, as it makes as much fodder as the regular ensilage com 
and so much larger proportion of ears, hence a much richer 
ensilage. Seed Corn prices on page 44. 
Lancaster Sure Crop 
This variety, fully described on page 35, is one of the out¬ 
standing early heavy tonnage yielding ensilage kinds that will 
mature good solid feeding corn. Grown extensively all over 
Ohio. You are sure of good ensilage if you plant Lancaster 
Sure Crop. Prices on page 44. 
CCFn Is dependable for Ensilage and 
IT ¥ dITII/ produces a higher percentage of corn. 
See description of W 17 on page 34, Indiana 614 on page 35 and 
L 31 on page 36. These are wonderful ensilage Hybrids and it Is 
our guess that If you try Hybrid one year you will use all Hybrid 
the next.
