Open-Pollinated Corn 
COLORADO NO. 13 is the name given to a 
high yielding yellow dent corn which orig- 
inated from strains of Minnesota No. 13. 
This corn is well adapted to regions of 
the state at elevations between 4,800-and 
6,000 feet. It is the product of many years 
of careful selection. 90 to 100 days. 
MINNESOTA No. 13 corn is a well known 
yellow dent corn well adapted to eleva- 
tions between 5,000 and 6,000 feet. 90 to 
100 days. The ears set about 4 feet from the 
ground and average 7 to 10 inches long. The 
kernels are wedge-shaped and of a bright, rich. 
yellow color. 
COLORADO YELLOW DENT is by no means a 
fixed type of corn. Sometimes the grains resemble 
Minnesota No. 13 and sometimes are more like 
Pride of the North, or whiter, resembling Swad- 
ley. This corn variety, however, is thoroughly 
acclimated, matures early, yields well and with- 
stands drought very satisfactorily. 90 days. 
CRAWFORD’'S YELLOW DENT originated in Delta 
County and has been found well adapted in 
Morgan County and similar regions. It is a deep, 
rough kerneled, small cob corn. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT is a selected strain of 
the well known Reid's Corn. This variety is 
standard for southeastern Colorado, the Arkan- 
sas and Grand Valleys. 100 to 110 days. 
IOWA SILVER MINE is a white dent corn maturing 
in 100 to 110 days. Is often referred to as “The 
National Corn.” The cob is small and white. 
The kernels are deep, white, and rather smooth, 
dented but not hackle crowned. It has a deep 
root system which enables it to withstand drought 
and adverse conditions exceedingly well. 
RED COB ENSILAGE is a pure white dent corn with 
a red cob. It matures in 110 to 115 days. Ears 
are large and the stalks grow 10 to 14 feet high 
with many broad, succulent leaves, producing 
an immense tonnage of excellent quality silage. 
Red Cob Ensilage is well adapted for silage 
purposes. 
FORMER FAVORITES 
Improved Leaming and Iowa Goldmine, yellow 
dent varieties well suited for ensilage and silage 
corn, are almost out of production as growers pre- 
fer to grow Hybrids. Pride Hybrids B77 and D66; 
‘Colorado 175 and Colorado 220 have shown good 
performance and replace well the open pollinated 
ensilage varieties of corn. 
CALICO is a medium early, mixed dent corn 
maturing in 100 days. Kernels are varie- 
gated, being speckled or mottled red, white 
and yellow. The stalks are leafy; the ears 
are carried high, Calico corn has a high 
protein content making it a very efficient 
feed. 


WHITE AUSTRALIAN is a hard flint corn 
well adapted for cool climates, short sea- 
sons and dry lands. -Ears are of medium 
size; kernels are white, smooth, shallow, 
rounded and flinty. 85 to 90 days. 
GEHU FLINT is a yellow dwarf, flint corn 
growing 4 to 6 feet high. It matures in 
80 to 90 days. It is not a husking corn 
as the ears set close to the ground, but 
this makes it very desirable for early 
hogging down. It is the earliest yellow corn and 
its particular use is for short seasons and dry 
land planting. 
SQUAW CORN is a mixture of various sorts once 
grown by North Dakota Indians. It is often 
called Blue Squaw. It is early, maturing in 90 
days. The ears are small; kernels are shallow, 
rounded, smooth and flinty; yields well. It is 
selected for sections where the growing season 
is short where grain is required.

SEED OATS 
BLISS SIDE OAT is a white side oat adapted to 
irrigated land. This: variety is noted for its 
abundant yield of oat hay in the mountain areas. 
BRUNKER OATS are well adapted to dry land, be- 
ing early maturing, smut and drought resisting. 
They are a red oat and were developed by the 
Akron Experiment Station. 
BANNOCK OAT is a plump, smut-resistant, white, 
midseason variety that has produced higher 
yields than any other irrigated variety in Colo- 
rado. It is a little earlier than Colorado 37 and 
the straw is finer but stiff. A limited amount of 
registered seed is available this year. 
COLORADO NO. 37 OATS. This oat is well adapted 
for irrigated areas of Colorado. It is a midseason 
white oat. It is characterized by its high yield; 
its straw and awnless kernels. 
VICLAND and VICTORY OATS. Similar to Colo. 
No. 37. 
SEED RYE 
SPRING RYE is an excellent soiler and can be 
produced on poor, worn out land under dry con- 
ditions where other grains would fail. It is useful 
as a cleaning crop for the purpose of eradicating 
wild oats. Makes early pasture and may be cut 
and cured for hay. When sown with 
vetch its value for pasture and hay is 
‘greatly enhanced. 
WINTER or FALL RYE serves a very useful 
purpose for pasture and hay. May be 
sown in the spring and summer as well 
as in the fall. When Winter Rye is sown 
after frost it goes into the following season 
before maturing, thus making it a biennial.
