In describing this corn we must speak of the size of the ears as mammoth, being 8 to 15 inches long, with grains averaging about half-inch long, and sometimes contain grains % inch in leugth. The number of lows on a cob range from 16 to 24; ears containing to 2,000 grains are quite common. Grains pure white, cob white and usually hollow at butt end, which allows the ear to dry out quickly, and enables the grower to crib his corn before smaller varieties are fit. We recommend it for this latitude and all points south, and it can be grown 100 miles north by selecting ground that will admit of early planting. The following wt ll known farmers of John- son Connty attest to the grand properties of this corn, and say it can be cribbed ahead of any of their common field corn, and also that it yields enormously: M.
