Farmers Should Consider All Factors When Selecting Short Season Hybrids

Farmers selecting early-ma-turing hybrid corn varieties io hedge against wet fall weather or possible fuel shortages should consider several factors besides length of time to maturity, according to Asgrow Seed Company authorities. “A trend among farmers to earlier-maturing hybrids seems to have been inspired by the wet ' fall and poor harvesting conditions in 1972,” says William Schapaugh, general manager of Asgrow s Agronomic Division. “The trend appears to be continuing in orders for 1974 seed. Some growers may be ordering shorter season varieties in the hope of avoiding drying problems if fuel runs low nest fall. ' Planting earlier varieties is a logical way to hedge against wet weather or diving fuel shortages, Schapaugh continues, as long as the grower keeps some other factors in mind when sclecting hit hybnds. “Within a givco climatic area, later maturing, recommended varieties ail have genetic potential for higher yields than carlier varieties,” explains Robelt StiOsmder, Asgiow's Corn Research Director at Ames, lowa. "Yet when the cost of drving is high, it's quite possible that a grower can actually sacrifice some yield in order to have drier grain at harvest time and still come out dollars ahead. 1 “But the grower must understand that he is sacrificing some yield potential every time he •witches to a shorter-season corn. However, this can be offset somewhat by increasing his plant population. loiter maturing varieties are taller and leafier, and 22,000 plants per acre is likely to be considered a heavy population, but good soil may support 2,000 to 4,000 more plants per acre if a smaller, earlier maturing variety is grown.” The variety selected should be one recommended for the farmer's area. “Ihere are other considerations besides length of growing season that cause a variety to be suited to a certain Aiea,” StiosutJcr says, 'such as

FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUND AMOUNT Fire Department - Furnace and Installation $1,075.00 Police Def u tment - Decibel Meter 163.50 Police Department . Overtime Police Wages 500 00 TOTAL $1,738.50 Taxpayers appearing at such meeting shall have a right to he heard thereon. The additional appropriations as finally made will be referred to the State Board of Tax Commissioners, which Board, upon receipt, will hold a further hearing within fifteen days at the County Auditor's office of said county, or at such other place 33 may be designated At such hear, ing taxpayers objecting to any of such additional appropriation.* may be he ird. Interested tax. payers may .nquire of the County Auditor when and where such hearing will be held.

moisture conditions and soil type, for example. A variety recommended for dryland use in Nebraska might not do well in Illinois even if the length of growing season is exactly the same in both areas.” ( A farmer switching to an earlier maturing corn variety this year should be prepared to harvest a little earlier than he has in the past. Strosnider points out. “Most of the diseases that cause stalk rot anil subsequent lodging are diseases of matuntv, he explains. When that dead plant stands m the field after reaching maturity, disease may set in. Choosing a variety of proven standabihty, such as Asgrow RX 70. is also a good hedge against lodging.” . 3 Drastic changes should be avoided, Strosnider adds. “If a grower has been planting 120day com, a variety of 115-day maturity is about as Icm as ha should go,” he says. Dropping back to a 105 day corn would cost too much in yield and overall performance. •There are good reasons for planting early-maturing varieties,” Schapaugh concludes, “as long xs the gtower understands the other factors involved in variety selection. It's a good idea to talk things over with a seedsman before ordering an unfanu- | liar variety. In any event, farmers who fear they may have already ordered a variety that’S not suited to their region should double-check their order t to pluming Kusvo.”
