Ten days earlier and much more de irable in every 
way than the old Sweepstakes Ensilage Corn. This 
variety is grown for us in Central Pennsylvania near 
Wiliamsport. The New York State College of Agri- 
culture found it gave a large green tonnage and matured 
early enough to qualify as an excel ent silage variety. 
It ears heavily and matures earlier than most other 
varieties sold under the name of Sweepstakes. 
Dibble’s West Branch Sweepstakes is a blend, made 
by crossing Lancaster Sure Crop, White Cap Yellow 
Dent, and a red variety of the Bloody Butcher type. 
The plant is a vigorous grower, 10 to 15 feet on good 
soil, ears 8 to 12 inches in Iength, with 12 to 20 rows of 
kernels. Cob is usually large and rather well filled at the 
tip. The color of kernels varies from Red to White Cap 
Yellow Dent. 
We have been selecting for the red-kernel type and 
have thereby cut down materially on the percentage of 
white-cap yellow ears. Some ears, however, have kernels 
with very light-colored caps and only a tinge of red on 
the sides of the kernels. Others are nearly red. 
Dibble’s West Branch Sweepstakes Is the most 
popular ensilage variety im all sections of New York 
State, except at high elevations where an earlier sort is 
needed. 
We have bought our seed supply from you for many years and have 
always been satisfied 100 per cent and shall continue to order from you 
with complete confidence.—J. C. THomrson & Son, Unionville, Conn. 

Is a Corn of great value and well worthy of trial. We 
found this Corn in Northern Ohio several years ago, and 
in comparison with Improved Leaming on adjoming 
farms, it has larger and more vigorous stalks. It grew 
more and bigger foliage than the Leaming, with bigger 
ears and more of them, and ripened earlier. Experience 
on our farms has given the same results, and a number 
of the leading dairymen in our section, after eight years’ 
experience, consider it the best ensilage Corn for West- 
ern New York. There have been raised at least 100 
acres of it in our town that would have husked 125 to 
150 bushels of sound, dry Corn to the acre if it had not 
been put into the silos. 
Dibble’s Big Red Dent grows tall and vigorous, with 
leafy stalks, and is a remarkable producer. The kernels 
when thoroughly dry are of a beautiful reddish tint, well 
set on a small, red cob. Recommended for trial in all 
sections where Improved Leaming gives good results.
