Some Good Corn Varieties.

Prof. w. R. Dodson, dean and di-
rector at the Louisiana State Univer-
sity, says in a recent issue of the
Press Bulletin, published by that in
stitution:
''There is no one best variety Of
corn for Louisiana. Under average
conditions the number Of desirable
varieties, however. is not very large.
Those that have become established
among the Southern types should be
relied upon. Among the small-eared
prolific corns that have given the
best results uniformly are Hastings
Prolific, Mosby's Prolific, Gandy's
Prolific, all more or less closely re-
lated, and few similar strains bear
ing local names.
"Of the large-eared type the Cal
houn Red Cob, Sentell's White Dent
and related varieties are the most de-
pendable.
"The Yellow Creole is justly pom
ular variety in South Louisiana. In
the top, but under AVERAGE farm con-
ditions it has many good qualities to
commend it. The stalk is strong, the
shuck is heavy and well closed at the
end, and the grain is resistant to
wenvils and wet weather.
''Not infreouentlv one NAV find a
local corn that has much merit. It is
much better to adort a variety that
has been thorouphlv tried than to take
| the risk of introducing highly i'm
| rroved strain from, q distant locality
| where the soil and climate condition!
gre entirely different. New varietie!
should he experimental with eau
tiously."
