Corn-Borer Control 
Clean up the corn fodder and 
stalks. Best to disc it down in fall 
or early spring. Fodder should then 
be plowed under so not one part of 
it protrudes from the soil. It is in 
the stalk and cob that the corn 
borer lives ne winter. If com- 
pletely covered by several inches 
soil, it is eliminated. Corn left in 
the crib should be put through the 
hammer mill, or immediately after 
Seine in the spring burn the 
cobs. 
Set Bait Stations 
To control meadow mice and pine 
mice in orchards—build the bait 
stations (early October) over run- 
ways of the mice. Later place the 
poison bait in them to kill the 
pests. 
Corn-and-Cob Meal Helps 
Make Grass Silage 
Good quality legume silage is pos- 
sible, in spite of wartime shortages 
of preservatives, molasses and 
phosphoric acid. Some good silage 
was made by adding 200 pounds of 
corn-and-cob meal to each ton of 
alfalfa as it was stored. 
Another means: Wilt alfalfa in 
swath a moisture content of 






““WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES”’ 
Grows dependable fodder. It also fills cribs 
where the season is long enough. It will never 
take a prize—ears run all colors from red to 
yellow, but some dairymen like it for silage feed. 
“IMPROVED LEAMING’’ 
“Rough and ready” type. Good on poorer soils 
—also on well-drained, fertile land. Grain is rich 
yellow, good depth. Ear well filled. Red cob, 
medium size, 14 to 18 rows. Good fodder, nu- 
merous leaves, thick stalks, not extra tall. 
““GOLDEN QUEEN’’ 
Yellow corn, high feed value, sizable ears. Me- 
dium grain. Matures mid-season to late. Tall, 
well-leafed fodder, but won’t mature in Northern 
counties. 
“EARLY YELLOW LEAMING”’ 
Classed as early corn, adapted for higher loca- 
tions. Small ears, small cobs with grains of good 
size coming low on stalk. 
““EUREKA ENSILAGE’’ 
Produces heavy tonnage. Sometimes up to 16 
feet tall. Very late type. Too late for grain in 
- the North. Seed scarce. Funk G Hybrids much 
more desirable. 
‘“8-ROW YELLOW FLINT’’ 
Still wanted by some where season is too short 
for the standard type corns. Eight rows of yellow 
grains on ears which run 9 to 11 inches long. 
‘“‘REID’S YELLOW DENT’”’ 
Limited supply. Grows successfully from South- 
ern Pennsylvania south, except in higher alti- 
tudes. Ears are compact, with a thin, red cob and 
deep yellow grains. Regular rows set closely. 
“RED COB WHITE ENSILAGE’’ 
Virginia-grown ensilage type that produces big 
tonnage. Stalks have short joints, numerous 
leaves. White corn on a red cob. 
“EARLY CLARAGE’”’ 
Produces crops of good hard corn in medium 
Northern sections. Really dependable as an 
early variety. Ear is nice type, rich golden color. 
“NEARLY BUTLER’’ 
A corn for Northern sections—short seasons. 
Ears aren't large, but you'll get a crop. Our seed 
is true strain of its type.
