FODDER CORN Fof ycai*s wc have pfeachin^ fodder corn to the farmers of the Northwest, but it took just such a season as that of \900 to fully arouse them to its great value* When other crops had failed, and they were wondering what they should do for feed, many planted Fodder Corn, Because it was too late to put in anything else. Now every one of them will put a liberal acreage into FODDER CORN, because they have found it ONE OF THE MOST PROFITABLE CROPS TO GROW, NOT A MAKESHIFT, BUT A NECESSITY.

FIELD OF N,. K,, & CO.'S GIANT FODDER CORN. FODDER CORN may be divided into four classes, viz: Large Southern Varieties; Medium Early Dent Varieties, Flint Varieties and Sweet Varieties. Each of these has its friends. All may be successfully grown for Fodder in almost any latitude. The merits of each class are briefly stated under their respective headings. If further information is desired, we shall be glad to supply it so far as lies within our power, and will be pleased to make recommendations when desired. There is one point we want to impress on stockmen, dairymen and others using- Fod- der Corn, and that is to place your orders early. By doing- so you secure the benefit of the present low prices. You can test the seed, and have corn on hand that you know will grow when you are ready to plant. LARGE «gj These furnish by far the largest amount of fodder, and, if of equal feeding SOUTHERN value> would be by all means the most profitable to grow, as they 3-ield easily Complaint is sometimes heard that the This ^ '1* double the tonnage of the early sorts. ' stalks grow so coarse that stock will not eat them all, and waste ensues. is sometimes true, but this can be almost altogether obviated by planting seed of the right 'varieties sufficiently close to check the tendency to coarseness. On the next page we offer the two best varieties of Southern Fodder Corn. See page 20. Northmp, King' <SL Co., Minneapolis, Minn. 19
