Field Corn ~ Best Varieties for the South 
SOUTHERN WHITE DENTS 
SENTELL WHITE DENT. The leading 
white dent variety of Louisiana. Bred in 
Caddo parish and has made largest yield 
of North Louisiana Experiment Station 
many years. Has large ears eight to ten 
inches long, medium stalk, white cob, white 
grain, well covered with heavy shuck pro- 
tecting well from weevil; a hard dent corn 
suited for feed and meal.

Calhoun Red Cob 
CALHOUN RED COB. White Dent 
kernels shading yellow toward cob, ears 
large, sure yielder. Most largely planted 
of all varieties and wonderfully popular 
with farmers. Ears are eight to ten inches 
long, deep kernels, red cob. Ears are uni- 
form, well covered with shuck and fill out 
well even to the nubbins. 
HASTINGS PROLIFIC. Requires a fairly 
long season to develop hard corn, 110 to 120 
days. Stalk is large, 8 to 12 feet tall, ac- 
cording to soil and season, rooting deeply. 
Stalk and blades are large and vigorous. 
Ears of medium size, two or more to the 
stalk, depending on the distance given and 
the growing conditions. On good strong 
land, where corn has distance of 24 to 30 
inches in the row, it often makes 4 to 6 
ears to a stalk. Consistently produces high 
yields and is adapted to hills and bottoms. 
Ears small but shell out 90 per cent grain. 
MOSBY’S PROLIFIC. Similar to Hastings 
but larger ears, with the same type small 
cob and deep kernel. If you do not like 
the many small ears of Hastings, plant 
Mosby and get fewer and bigger ears. 
IMPROVED SURECROPPER. Most exten- 
sively planted white variety in Texas. The 
farmer knows that it makes, wet or dry, 
and that it is the safest corn to grow as 
dry weather is sure to come. They call it 
Big Cobbed and Light, yet a part of the 
crop in Surecropper is good insurance 
against dry weather failures. Popular for 
May and June planting. 
DWARF MEXICAN JUNE. Large white ears, 
best for late planting, as it is drought re- 
sistant. 
WHITE TUXPAN. Originated in Texas. 
Vigorous drought resistant, recommended 
especially for hill soils. 
SOUTHERN YELLOW DENTS 
Yellow corn is recognized as superior feed. 
Is rapidly being bred into superior production, 
weevil and drought resistance. Farmers who 
know to buy yellow corn for feed, can now 
grow it. 
SOUTHWESTERN YELLOW DENT. Another 
drought resistant large eared, large grain, 
yellow corn from dry Texas and Oklahoma. 
It has been popular with our trade for many 
years and we predict will remain so. Until 
White Sure Cropper was bred yellow, it has 
been appropriately called a Yellow Sure- 
cropper corn. Ask anyone who plants this 
variety about it and then pay us a visit for 
seed. 
with 
HILLS YELLOW DENT. Is outstanding as 
one and two eared variety of deep rich 
golden yellow corn. Check Experiment 
Station results and you will find it produc- 
ing around the top record every year. Bred 
in Louisiana. It covers securely with a 
heavy shuck and is practically free from 
weevil damage. Hvery one knows that Yel- 
low corn has more food value, so why not 
plant a tested variety and produce better 
yellow corn that you buy from the west 
and north? 
YELLOW SURECROPPER. The Texas Ex- 
periment Station, recognizing the drought 
resistance and high productivity of White 
Surecropper, yet its poor feed value, bred 
it into a firm yellow corn. Although re- 
leased only one year and then available in 
limited quantities, it has made the greatest 
hit of any new corn ever originated. Planted 
both early and late, it proved outstanding 
merit from Louisiana to the dry Panhandle 
of Texas and Oklahoma. Hill farmers will 
find this to be the yellow corn they have 
waited and wished for. 
-., JARVIS GOLDEN PROLIFIC. A yellow pro- 
lific corn, well adapted to this section and 
growing rapidly in popularity. Originating 
in Tennessee, it is earlier than native va- 
rieties, yet its origin in the South, makes it 
cover well with a full shuck, protecting it 
from bird and weevil damage. A farmer 
came in for more Jarvis this year and re-

Hills Yellow Dent 
marked that Mr. Hastings did a great thing 
for the south when he bred his White Hast- 
ings to a yellow corn, producing as much 
corn and a richer horse feed. Although his 
comments were in error, he did make a good 
comparison of outstanding prolific corns. 
Its earliness allows it to make before the 
dry period comes. 
NORTHERN VARIETIES 
Planted for early feed and roasting ears, 
there will always be a place for some extra 
early corn. 
WHITE SILVERMINE. Most popular large 
White Dent and used extensively by market 
gardeners. Hars are large, fill out well and 
make beautiful roasting ears. 
WHITE PEARL. Similar to Silvermine but a 
softer corn when matured. Also grown ex- 
tensively for feed and roasting ears. 
WHITE ST. CHARLES RED COB. Most 
popular northern corn for feed, being very 
solid and a good producer. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT. Most popular 
northern yellow and possibly more exten- 
sively planted than any variety in the U. 
S. In Missouri they call it St. Charles 
Yellow and under that name is popular in 
this section. 
ST. CHARLES YELLOW. A strain of Reid’s 
Yellow Dent, very popular and recognized 
as the best northern yellow for Louisiana. 
We usually secure our stock from Missouri, 
hence it is semi-southern. 
TENN. RED COB. Another semi-southern 
corn that produces well and is very popular 
when an earlier white dent corn is desired.

D&PL 12 Cotton Seed in Louisiana, Texas 
and Arkansas counties bordering La. Deltapine 
is the most popular variety in the South. In- 
troduced into Texas recently, it is fast being 
accepted as a superior cotton. The customer 
comes back for more. We sell no other. It 
is slightly wilt resistant. 
D&PL 12. A selection from DPL 11 and put 
out by Delta Pine Land Co. in 1940. Tested 
by all Southern Experiment Stations in 1938 
to 1940, in a majority of cases it showed 
slightly superior to DPL 11A with same 
characteristics, 1 to 2 per cent more lint, 
a longer staple and on average of 5 per 
cent more lint per acre. Most farmers 
thought there could be nothing better than 
DPL 11A but 12 is certainly an improve- 
ment. Our seeds are Ceresan treated.
