PRODUCTION ARE NEEDED. 

Field Corns 
Hybrid field corns have made good in the Northeastern States. 
Nearly all who have tried them are well pleased. Now salesmen 
swarm over the country side with long lists of confusing names and 
numbers of various hybrids. The majority of the hybrids offered are 
too late in maturity for this part of the country. Some are “closed 
or secret formula” hybrids offered at high prices by high pressure 
salesmen. Others are “open formula” hybrids developed, tested, 
maintained and certified by the Agricultural Experiment Stations and 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In general the latter are bet- 
ter, more reliable, and more economical. In the demonstration tests 
in New York State the Wisconsin hybrids have performed very well 
and received more votes of approval than any other group. They are 
produced under climatic conditions similar to ours. For these rea- 
sons we offer and recommend an early-to-late series of Wisconsin 
hybrids with assurance that they will equal or better the performance 
of any other group. ee ; 
Following are our selections for different conditions here in the 
Northeastern States. They are based on maturity trials and observa- 
tion plantings. All are hybrids except Yates and Sheffield flints, 
Early Huron, Cornell 11, and West Branch Sweepstakes. Numbers 
in parentheses are approximate days required for maturing under 
conditions here. They of course vary from season to season and 
place to place, but show relative maturities. ee 
For grain it is best to use corns that ripen well within the season 
limits. Our selections are intended to be on the safe side. For silage, 
taller corns with high grain yield records, that ripen 5 to 15 days 
later, usually make maximum yields of best quality silage. We have 
listed such for each situation described below. 
VERY SHORT SEASON—Where only the very earliest corns 
mature; generally at elevations over 1200’ and at lower elevations in 
Northern New York and New England 
Grain: Wis. 255 (90); Yates (90); Sheffield (90). 
Silage: Wis. 355 (100); Early Huron (100). 
SHORT SEASON—Where 95 to 105 day corns usually mature; 
generally at elevations of 900’ to 1200’. 
Grain: Wis. 355 (100); Early Huron (100). 
Silage: Cornell 11 (105); Cornell 29-3 (115); Wis. 464 (115). 
MEDIUM SEASON—Where 105 to 115 day corns usually mature; 
generally at elevations of 500’ to 900’. 
Grain: Cornell 11 (105); Cornell 29-3 (115); Wis. 464 (115). 
Silage: Ohio K24 (120); Sweepstakes (125). 
LONG SEASON—Where 115 to 125 day corns usually mature; 
generally at elevations under 500’. 
Grain: Ohio K24 (120). 
Silage: Wis. 608 (180); Wis. 692 (185). 
VERY LONG SEASON—Most favored locations in areas last 
described. 
Grain: Wis. 608 (130); Wis. 692 (135). 
Silage: U.S. 13 (140). 
GRADES 
Germinations range from 90% to 98%. Seed is graded,—Large 
Flat, Medium Flat, Large Round, Medium Round. This permits more 
accurate planting with less waste of seed and better yields. The 
different grades produce equally well, provided the seed is properly 
spaced. (See Prices on Page 3). 
FORAGE CROPS 
BROME GRASS - Long lived, winter hardy, deep rooted, drought 
resisting perennial. Spreads by underground stolons as well as by 
seed. Runs out blue grass and all other common plants. Ideal pas- 
ture because production starts early, stays green thru droughts, lasts 
late in the fall, always palatable, in fact, probably most palatable 
grass. But must not be grazed too closely. In Illinois test Brome 
pasture produced 259 lbs. gain per acre on cattle and sheep while 
blue grass pasture produced 164 lbs. As hay, it is taller than 
timothy, more leafy and better relished by stock. Takes year longer 
than timothy to make full crop. Sow 20 Ibs. alone or 8 lbs. with 8 
lbs. Alfalfa or 3 of Ladino. Sow separately. 
Achenbach Brome, a Kansas strain and Lincoln Brome, a Ne- 
braska strain outyield the Dakota and Canadian strains by about 
20% and have proved winter hardy in this latitude. 
LADINO WHITE CLOVER -Most valuable recent addition to our 
forage crops. A giant type white clover similar to Wild White in 
spreading habit, palatability and being a perennial, but growing large 
enough to be used for hay. Recommended in hay seedings where 2nd 
growth is to be pastured or where the field is to be mowed for a year 
or two and then pastured for a time. It is used in Cornell Utility and 
General Purpose Mixtures, 1 lb. per A. This small seeding produces 
good yields of pasture or hay several years after Red and Alsike clov- 
ers have run out. Ladino yields well on many fields not adapted to 
alfalfa or wild white clover and deserves wider use as a substitute for 
them in hay and pasture mixtures. Orchard Grass and Timothy com- 
bine well with Ladino but Kentucky Blue Grass tends to run it out. 
‘ed and Alsike Clovers may be combined with it. Best results re- 
quire liberal fertilizing with phosphorus and potash. Use Nitrogen B, 
(See Prices Page 3) 
Hybrid Sweet Corns 
They actually yield 25% to 100% more than the old favorites, are 
much more uniform, have high quality and all of them are resistant 
to the dread wilt disease. The seed is produced by controlled cross 
pollination of specially bred strains. The seed costs more, but results 
justify the cost many times over. 
We offer hybrids that ripen at different times, each being one of 
the best available in its ripening period. You can choose those that 
best suit your market or can provide a continuous supply from early 
to late by planting at one time several that will ripen in succession 
and then following with successive plantings of a late one. 
In the brief descriptions given below, the maturity dates are ap- 
proximate for this section and naturally vary with locality and season. 
They are comparable with Golden Bantam at 80 days. For detailed 
description ask for our Special Sweet Corn Circular. It gives valu- 
able planting suggestions and directions for controlling ear worm, 
corn borer and smut. 
IMPROVED SPANCROSS - 61 days, 23 earlier than Golden 
Cross. Earliest wilt resistant hybrid available. Cold resistant. Pro- 
lific yielder of very uniform, attractive, med. size, 10 - 12 rowed ears. 
MARCROSS - 68 days. Follows Spancross, 16 days ahead of Golden 
Cross. Wilt resistant, good yielder, large 12 rowed ears, good qual- 
ity, excellent market type. A money maker for commercial growers. 
CARMELCROSS - 72 days. Wilt resistant, fine quality, 12 rowed, 
large ears, 12% to 30% more ears than Marcross. 
CONN. 22x27 - 75 days. New mid-season hybrid, notably large 
ears, fine quality too. 
LINCOLN - 78 days, 6 days ahead of Golden Cross. Wilt resistant, 
drought resistant, wide adaptation. Heavy producer of large, at- 
tractive, good quality, 12 to 16 rowed ears. 
LEE - 78 days, in Lincoln class. Kars slightly larger; quality a 
little better. Not so hardy. Better for New England and Eastern 
New York. Wilt resistant. 
BIG LEE - 80 days, equal quality, taller stalks, larger ears, more 
ears, more profit. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN CROSS - 84 days, heavier ears, more 
kernel rows, taller stalks, ears borne higher, fewer suckers, same 
wonderful quality. 
SILVER CROSS BANTAM - 84 days. A white counterpart of 
Golden Cross, yielding nearly 100% more than Country Gentleman 
and Stowell’s Evergreen and tops in sweetness, flavor and tender- 
ness. Apparently wilt resistant. 
IOANA - 87 days. Appearance, quality, size ears like Golden 
Cross. Stalks larger, suckerless. Notably resistant to heat ard 
drought. Out-yields Golden Cross under such conditions. Wilt re- 
sistant. 
BIG IOANA - 88 days. 10% more ears, 10%larger ears than 
Ioana and equal quality, hardiness and wilt resistance. ~ 
MAGNAGOLD - 90 days. Wilt resistant. Big handsome 16 to 18 
rowed ears of excellent quality. Sell fast at premium prices. Lots 
of fodder. Best late yellow hybrid from every angle.
