Improved Leaming. Select stock. The ears are large, with deep dented grain, 12 to 
16-rowed. Extensively grown for both grain and silo. Matures in 100 to 110 days .... 
Yellow Sweepstakes. 115 days to make ensilage. Also known as Kato or Golden 
Beauty. Ten days earlier than Eureka Ensilage Corn. At Connecticut Experiment Sta- 
tion it yielded 69 bushels per acre, considerably more than others, and made 15 tons 
ensilage of high feeding value. This is a favorite with many who have made careful 
trials for actual food value rather than green weight per acre

grain or silage in Northern Connecticut and Massachusetts. Similar to but larger than

heavy in stalk and foliage. Will ordinarily produce more tons of ensilage than any 
other:. We have’ had stalks) 17 feet 10: mches tall giee.. se sek ms ee oe Mee eee eee 
Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes. This has given many fine records for high yield of ensi- 
lage and grain. In Connecticut, 1932, it yielded 81% bushels of grain per acre; in Rhode 
Island, 21 tons ensilage per acre, which is much higher than Eureka. In the West Vir- 
ginia and Pennsylvania 1934 experimental trials, it yielded 17%4 tons per acre—the high- 
est yield of any ensilage corn. The leaves and stalks stay green long after the ears are 
mature

is necessary.
