52 Sweet Corn Main Uses Days 
IOSQUAW (Yellow) MC 83 
A more recent development of the Iochief type by Dr. E. S. Haber of Iowa State Col- 
lege. Trials have shown it to be a better yielder and somewhat more tender than Io- 
chief. Characters are similar to the latter except the ears are about 4% inch longer, and 
Iosquaw shows less tolerance of bacterial wilt than Iochief. Somewhat easier to pull.
