riety originated through selective 
breeding by Professor A, F. Yeager 
of the North Dakota Experiment 
Station. It is earlier than Golden 
Bantam and stays in table quality 
for a greater length of time. The 
ear is about ene inch longer and 
has 10 to 12 rows instead of 8, The 
kernels are sweeter, more tender 
anda lighter yellow in color. The 
plant is taller and more vigorous. 
Because of its earlier maturity, 
longer seasonand superior quality, 
it brings better prices than the Ban- 
tam and is displacing the ante in 
many markets. -Pkt., 10 cts.; Y/ Ib.,
