South Dakota’s Best Known Variety 
The best ninety day yellow dent on the market. 
Developed by us more particularly because of its 
hardy nature, while at the same time it gives a 
good ear with a very high shelling percentage. Ears 
will average 8 to 9 inches in length, girth 9 inches, 
from 16 to 18 rows, well carried out on butt and tip. 
Kernels unusually deep, ears well formed, cob very 
small. Has a very leafy growth and attains a height 
of from 7 to 8 feet, and usually yields from 40 to 
60 bushels per acre. 
GOLDEN KING 
The wonder corn of northern Iowa. Through a 
period of years this variety has stood at the top in 
competitive yield tests. The average ears are 8 
to 9 inches long, have 16 rows; kernels blocky with 
medium smooth dent. Small cob giving the ear a 
high shelling percentage. Medium early, usually 
maturing in 95 to 100 days under favorable condi¬ 
tions. 
MINNESOTA 13 YELLOW DENT 
Introduced by the Minnesota Agricultural College. 
The average ear is usually 7 to 9 inches long, 
medium depth kernels, averages 14 to 16 rows, 6 
to 7 inches in circumference. This is one of the 
earliest Yellow Dent corns usually maturing in 90 
days or less. You will find this an excellent corn 
for early hogging off purposes. 
GOLDEN JEWEL. SOUTH DAKOTA'S 
FAVORITE 
It is especially adapted to South Dakota and 
Iowa, producing a compact ear, 8 to 9 inches long, 
with deep wedge shaped kernels, rough and compact 
on a small cob. You will find this one of the best 
shelling and high producing corns. Shows a very 
vigorous growth and will mature in 95 to 100 days 
under normal conditions. 
EARLY MURDOCK 
Matures in 95 to 100 days. Stalks medium in 
height. Ears from 7 to 8 inches, having 16 to 20 
rows. Kernels very deep, fairly broad, shells out 
heavily, of a light yellow color. We recommend it 
very highly for southern South Dakota, southern 
Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern Iowa. 
WIMPLE'S YELLOW DENT 
One of the later varieties of Yellow Dent corn. 
It usually matures in 100 to 110 days. Has large 
type ears with deep kernels and a small cob. If 
you are in the market for a large type corn we rec¬ 
ommend this variety. 
FULTON YELLOW DENT 
A 90 day corn that was selected and named at 
Fulton, South Dakota. This variety is used by 
many of our customers around Mitchell who desire 
a medium early corn. 
SILVER KING WHITE DENT 
A very early White Dent corn that will mature 
in 90 to 95 days under normal conditions. Ears 8 
to 9 inches long with 16 rows of deep grain kernels. 
It will stand up better than the yellow varieties in 
wet or dry conditions.

NORTHWESTERN RED DENT 
This corn has been on the market for a number of 
years and has proven its popularity with a great 
many farmers. Is red in color with either a white 
or yellow cap. Will mature in 80 to 90 days and is 
an excellent corn for hogging off. 
EARLY CALICO 
Earlier than most large dent varieties. Is very 
popular as an early feeding variety and as a silage 
corn. Is a heavy yielder of both corn and fodder. 
Usually will do well on poor type soil where other 
corns fail. 
FLINT VARIETIES 
SPECIALLY SUITED FOR LATE PLANTING. 
SHOW GREAT RESISTANCE TO 
GRASSHOPPERS 
RAINBOW FLINT CORN 
Specially suited for late planting. Shows great 
resistance to grasshoppers and drouth. Every farmer 
should plant a few acres of Rainbow Flint corn 
every year just in case. Several of our farmer 
friends in this section report that if they had not 
planted a few acres of Rainbow Flint last spring 
they would not have had any corn in the fall. As it 
was, however, through their foresight in planting 
Rainbow Flint they had a pretty good corn crop, 
but if they had depended upon dent corn they would 
have raised nothing as the dry weather completely 
ruined the dent varieties. Rainbow Flint can be 
planted late and will give a good yield. It is ex¬ 
cellent for hogging off and every farmer would be 
well advised to put in a few acres just as a safe¬ 
guard against grasshoppers and drouth. 
“Hogs on the Eric Beermann farm in Dakota 
county, Nebraska, get in a long season of harvest¬ 
ing their own grain. Mr. Beermann, with 140 spring 
pigs, planted 12 acres of Rainbow Flint corn early 
in May. It grows low, stools profusely on Beer- 
mann’s rich Missouri River bottom land, and pro¬ 
duces^ 10 to 12 ears to the hill. It is ready for 
hogs in August, four or five weeks ahead of dent 
corns. None has been husked to learn the yield, 
but Beermann believes he gets as much an acre 
as from his main crop corn.’’ 
—Capper’s Farmer, December, 1938. 
RED FLOUR 
This variety while it is a flint corn does not have 
the hard flinty kernels which are objectionable in 
some of the flint varieties, on the contrary the ker¬ 
nels when cracked or crushed resemble the old fash¬ 
ioned blue flour corn, in fact are identical with 
the exception of color. Early, very prolific and an 
excellent variety for hogging off.
