The important points of superiority claim
ed for this Corn over other varistles, and
which are fully sustained by the voluntary
statements of farmers who raised from seed
got of US last year, are these:
lst. This corn will yield from twice to three
times as many bushels to the .acre-on the
same soil and with the same culture. s
"a. TIE Cora is heavier in weight, has a
larger, longer ear, and thinner husk, and
makes corn meal for family use sweeter and
more nutritious and valuable for feeding
