ENSILAGE CORN 
A Good Well-Filled Silo Means 
Farm Insurance 
The variety you use la Tory important. Tou cannot afford to 
put the greater part of your corn acreage In the ailo and our 
experience ha a shown some kinds are much more adapted to 
plant for the ailo. If you are feeding for beef, we auggeat you 
plant Lancaster Sure Crop, or Clarage, page 42, unleaa soil la 
very poor when one of the ensilage kinds la beat, 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 la white, the average 
length of the ears is 8*4 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 sotL 
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, la 
a quick, vigorous grower and beyond doubt, the beat 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 43. 
Reid’s Yellow Dent 
We have developed a late maturing variety of Keid’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 43. 
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 corn 
and so much larger proportion of ears, hence a much richer 
ensilage. Seed Corn prices on page 43. 
Lancaster Sure Crop 
This variety, fully described on page 36, 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 43. 
Hybrid Ensilage 
Is more dependable for ensilage. It not only stands well so that 
it can be cut with binder and fed Into the cutter properly, which is 
much more than open pollinated kinds are doing, but It produces 
a much heavier percentage of corn which is becoming much more 
important each year as our knowledge of silage increases. Note 
on area map on page 37 for Hybrids that can be used and are 
adapted to your section. We are sure Hybrid Seed for silage is a 
highly profitable Investment. The Hybrids U. S. 52 and U. S. 44 
can be used all over northern Ohio with most satisfactory results. 
Then through central and southern Ohio U. S. 44 and L31 are 
outstanding. Plant Hybrid for your silo this year. Add a little 
Cane Seed and a few Virginia Soy Beans and you will be sur¬ 
prised the tonnage of the best silage you will get from an acre.
