Shumway’s Goliath Silo or Ensilage Seed Corn 
The World’s Greatest Yielder—-Many Report 50 to 75 Tons Per Acre. 
For many years I have worked on this World’s Famous Ensilage Corn, Selecting and Reselecting 
Pure Bred Seed and today I feel safe in saying it leads all others in growth of fodder-producing 
stalks 18 to 22 feet high. The leaves are broad and long, they start forming at the lower 
end of the stalk and continue to the very top. It has a strong root system thereby not 
affected by wind or drought. I produce this seed South of the Ohio River and do not 
recommend it to ripen as far North as Rockford. It is solely a silo filler and one 
acre will produce more tons of feed than 5 acres of ordinary corn.

1556 Funk’s G-114—Hybrid Yellow 
(Tops the List for North Central Corn Belt) 
Some people call it ‘‘intestinal fortitude.’? Others call it simply ‘‘guts.’? Any- 
way, in G-114, it’s the ability to stand up against the beating that the North 
Central Corn Belt often hands out in weather and in insect attacks. Against 
cold spring dampness. ... Against scorching summer drought. ... 
Against blasting wind. . . . Against corn borers and other insect ene- 
mies, G-114 comes through. Even when harvest is long de- 
layed, G-114 stands, firmly erect. In Iowa 4-year tests, its 
percentage of lodging was lowest (2.9%) of any strain 
entered. And it yields with the best. G-114 foliage 
stays green after the ear starts to mature, mak- 
ing the extra starch necessary to finish both 
a heavy ear and a strong stalk. Postpaid,

fodder as well as of ears. The average height 
is 7% feet, while the ears are set about 3 feet

will produce. After the last cultivation of corn 
sow 3 lbs. per acre broadcast. If you are hogging the 
corn down, the hogs will clean the rape as well as the 
corn. If you husk your corn and pasture the cornstalks, 
all kinds of stock eat it readily, and this gives them green 
food with the dry. Postpaid, 1b., 60 cts.; 214 lbs., $1.35; 5 lbs.,

1627 Billion Dollar Grass or Japanese Millet (35 Ibs. Bu.) 
All things considered, we call this the most valuable thing in our whole list of forage plants. We 
recommend it for the following reasons: First, it makes more hay than German Millet or any other. 
Second, although it grows so large, sometimes seven or cight feet high. the hay is of the most excellent 
quality, superior to corn fodder. Third, it is adapted to all sections and a great success wherever 
tried. It does well on low ground. Fourth, two crops a season may be cut from it, or, if left to 
ripen, it will vield almost as many bushels of seed per acre as oats. Plant 20 to 25 pounds per acre.
