- - • How to Increase Hybrid Profits

Champaign. 111.,'— If you planted ' hybrid corn this spring, give It a i fair chance. ( This silvlce to Middle Wextern ' farmers Is based oo research wurk I conducted at ths University of life- | nols, where teats by Prof. A L. Lang show that hybrids seem to be more responsive to good soli practices and more sensitive to poor soil rooi dltlona than are most locally l adapted strains of open-poUsnated I corn. To put ft another way. hybrids are just like dairy cows. To produce their best, they must be well fed. Thus if sny fanner has been disappointed with the performance of any hybrid corn in the past, he should take Inventory of the fertility at bls i soil before criticising the hybrid too ‘ much. In developing hybrids, com breeders attempt to combine Inbred characters to assure high yields of good quality com. erect atatkx. ears at uniform height, less barren stalk* and resistance to disease end ' j insects. Prof. Lang’s tests show that too UtUe nitrogen due to lack of organic matter, oe deficiencies of available phosphates and potash may retard the inborn yielding sbfLUes of the ’ best hybrids. Hybrids are selected to mature In a certain number of days, based oo the average growing season in as ch territory. However, on soil low in available phosphates, eom growth snd msturity may be slowed up so that ears will be soft in seasons of early frost If the corn has lodged oc shows weak stalks, this may be due either to lack of avail-

downgrade across cultivated fields. |, Sech points along the bank should be kept built up and the water . should be allowed to come In farther downstream where it can back In against the fall of the fields. ' thu* not only avoiding scouring but actually allowing for deposit of the gilt invariably carried by flood waters. As a usual thing this silt adds I some fertility to the land and 1 should be welcomed. It was pointed out that complete I levees to keep off the flood waters | are seldom desirable or feasible from an economic standpoint but that partial levees should be used where possible to wstd off head- 1 wsters and force the stream to bach in over lands that wfl! be tnI undated. | ■ o I Trade In a Good Town — Decatur —

able potash, infections by disease, or attacks of chlnah bugs or corn root worms. Hybrid selections and open-pol-len a fed atrains were compared on adjacent plots of varying fertility levels to the Illinois experiments. The hybrids showed the greatest superiority over the open pollenated types, on the most fertile soils. Thus the farmer who follows good soil practices and has his soils tested to determine needs for* limestone, phosphates and potash will cash in profitably when he planta high bred hybrid seed corn.
