Sylvan Habegger Tells How He Grew Record Corn Crop

Sylvan Habegger. <vf near Mon roe has set an all-time Adam* lounty record tn five acre corn : club work by producing an average of 13H bushels of corn to the acre and »<> winning tbe Adams county turn kings crown The farm editor asked Mr. Ha hegger to give the growers of th" I county a story of how he produced ,the record yield and iu the stgned article below. Mr. Habegger has >done so In his story he says sugar beets I pre< eded his corn crop a pra< • i lice which many practical cons ' grower* say is "no good" and I* a gainst recommendations However Mr. Habegger set an all-time re< • ord. whlih answers well for hl* side of th<- ease The others say he could have produced an even great <-i yield by a different rota’ion. I etc . etc . etc. The Democrat farm page ha* no intention of entering into the argumint, but would like to hear from other corn growers on the subject. All replies to thia question will be published if at all possible Following is Mi Habegger's story on his record crop. I plowed a sts a< re field in Ikicember. 1938. for the five-acre coin contest Last year I planted sugat beets In it and the two years previous it was in alfalfa for pa* | ture. "Tli* soil is all blaik loam along the Ulin Creek, which runs over and floods this field every spring The seed used was Indiana certified hybrid No 613 obtained from Heller and Neuenschwander of south of Herne.

i ora was planted The corn was ! drilled In rows 35 Inches apart, the planting date being May 9 and 10. ■ My first cultivation was in the latter part of May After the first uiltlvatlon it was rolled down with <i flat roller to retain the moisture j as ft was a little dry just at this time ’The second cultivation was done in June. The corn then got ahead of ine and rot too big for a third cultivation However, the second cultivation had the weeds well under control. "I enjoyed being in the five .o re < luh this IxdUg tile second year I had enrolled I think I profited. because by planning ahead . and putting in every effort to have I a high yield In competing with other farmers a person tends to obtain better yield*.

PROTECT COVER CROPS ON FARM, Expert Warns Against Too Close Grazing For Aid In W inter In normal seasons the use of cover crons such as small grain or other close-growing crops after corn, sorghum, and soybeans Will help materially to reduce soil erosion. leaching of plant foods, and 1 furnish pasture for livestock as well (mints out A W Klemme of tbe Missouri College of Agrtcul ture. Such crops should not be grazed too closely during the late fall and early winter, however, since some top growth is essential for the resumption of rapid growth In the early spring The close removal of such rover also makes these fields more susceptible to erosion during the winter and early spring The tops as well as the roots of growing cover plants aid In reducing erosion In * several ways. The top growth help* to hold snow on the land, and also reduce the impact with which rainfall hits the ground thus re I during its loosening effect on the > •oil grains and lessen* the amouut of soil moved from the field In this way cornstalks In the field offer protection to tbe land against erosion Where the corn Is planted on the contour, there Is ] lhe added protection against sheet erosion <>f the implement marks ( jour game birds through tbe nest 1 two diffiiwlt months Further Information on any of the foregoing logics may in- obtained by writing to the Department of Agricultural Extension.
