énsilage Corn 
Ten days earlier and much more desirable in every 
way than the old Sweepstakes Ensilage Corn. This 
variety is grown for us in Central Pennsylvania near 
Williamsport. The New York State College of Agri- 
culture found it gave a large green tonnage and matured 
early enough to qualify as an excellent 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. 

STANLEY'S 
CROW REPELLENT 
Dibble’s West Branch Sweepstakes is the most 
popular ensilage variety in 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.

DIBBLE’S 
Early Yellow Dent Corn 
Introduced by us thirty-eight years ago as the earl- 
iest large Yellow Dent. During that time we have 
tried out, tested, and inspected fields of other Early 
Dents and we still say that this is a most desirable 
ensilage variety for the eastern farmer. 
Dibble’s Early Yellow Dent planted here in the 
Genesee Valley country May 15 to June 1, is usually 
ready for the silo by early September, but many of our 
customers report that it matures earlier. The foliage is 
very leafy and the stalks average 10 to 12 feet in height. 
One field of 12 acres on one of our own farms measured 
14 feet on the level for the entire field. The ears, 8 to 10 
mches in length, are closely set with bright yellow 
grains on a small cob. Hundreds of our customers in a 
dozen states plant Dibble’s Early Yellow Dent year 
iter year.
