and mechanical husking ability. It asks no favors 
and yields are uniformly high. Deep dent. Large

Short, heavy, stiff stalks keep this 
one standing. It has been popular with

medium flats, $9.50 per bus.

“My Corn crop was the best I had for a_ couple of 
years.” —VERNON GopsHa.k, Northampton Co., Pa. 
“I wish to advise that I picked 1200 bushels of matured 
Corn from eight acres. I planted DeKalb 65 and 240”. 
Francis E, Gates, Madison Co., N. Y. 
DeKalb 606 
DeKalb 898 
Do you remember old 899? DeKalb took it off 
the market for ear type and drought-tolerance 
improvement. Now it’s back in an improved stage 
known as 898. It has a big heavy stalk, tall fodder, 
and what an ear! Farmers who had 898 for ensilage 
last year say, “‘Plant it early and it makes good 
grain as well as ensilage and fodder.’ Large or 
medium flats, $9.50 per bus. 
DeKalb 1002 
For ensilage only. Tall and [ate but stands up 
and yields. Plant early, as it compares with old 
Eureka. Ears are medium length but kernels are 
unusually deep. Medium flats, $9.50 per bus.
