Developed by Glenn M. Smith and introduced jointly by the 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture and Purdue University Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment Station. This popular hybrid has been ex¬ 
tensively used for freezing and has yielded an excellent 
product. Ears 1%" diameter, 10 to 14 rowed, slightly lighter 
yellow than Golden Bantam. Kernels medium in width and 
depth. This hybrid is extremely uniform in plant and ear 
characteristics and in maturity. Highly resistant to 
Stewart’s wilt. 
Many experimental crosses are made on our Corn Breeding Grounds each year 
in the evolution of hybrids. In this way outstanding combinations are developed.
