Field Corn and Pop-Corn of High 

IMPROVED FIELD CORN 
Sow 1 peck per acre for ears, 4% bushel for silage, up to 1 bushel for fodder. Rows wide 
enough apart to allow tractor cultivation. 
Flint Corns and early Dents are quick plants of moderate size and are grown for ears. 
Slower Dent sorts are larger and are for both ears and leaves. 
and are grown for their leaves. 
Fodder varieties are still larger 
HYBRID VARIETIES 
Hybrid Corn versus Open- pollinated Corn 
Ina field of Corn, pollen grains are carried by the wind from the upper or male flowers 
onto the ‘ silk”’ of a neighboring Corn plant, resulting in a normal ear, consisting of kernels 
which are fertile, and which are able to grow. Seed Corn, as grown by first-line producers, 
is planted sufficiently far from other varieties that the pollination is confined to the one 
sort, which ts therefore unmixed. 
If two kinds, however, are grown together so that an inten‘ional impurity is obtained, 
we produce a Hybrid Corn, and when scientific care is taken in selecting parents, In remov- 
ing male flowers from the female parents, and discarding the ears from the male parents, 
we have high-quality hybrids such as are listed below. They are more thrifty plants, more 
disease-resistant, and far heavier producers of grain or ensilage, or both. 
Cornell 34-53. (100 days.) The charac- 
teristic of this new variety is its earli- 
ness, and the certainty with which it 
will mature its ears; recommended for 
this purpose almost anywhere in New 
York State and southern New England. 
A fine yellow Dent sort with 7 to 9-inch 
long heavy ears with 14 to 18 rows. 
Essentially a grain Corn, it makes excel- 
lent ensilage also. Height 8 ft. Qt.

(105 days.) Heavy-yielding variety. 
Produces very long, large, sound ears, 
deep grains; strong, stocky, medium- 
tall stalk. Excellent for ensilage as well 
as grain. Qt. 65 cts., postpaid 80 cts.; 
Cornell No. 29-3 Hybrid Dent. (110 
days.) Adapted to our eastern con- 
ditions. Yellow kernels with a slight

the heaviest yielding and largest stalked 
late southern ensilage variety, and the 
heaviest yielding early northern fodder 
Corn. Makes a large stalk and heavy 
tonnage, and will often mature grain in 
the North. This will prove a profitable 
sort. Qt. 60 cts., postpaid 75 cts.; pk.
