THOMPSON PROLIFIC CORN — Originated by J. 
M. Thompson (now deceased) about 1908. While 
growing Coxey’s Prolific on his farm, a neighbor on 
an adjoining farm was growing another variety 
(variety not known). These varieties crossed, re- 
sulting in what is now known as Thompson Prolific. 
He, J. M. Thompson, selected on this corn for about 
35 years, giving to the South the best poor land corn 
known. Extra early, short stalk, one to seven ears 
to stalk (most often two and three).
