GENESEO, Ill, March 28.—Henry cotlnty farmers are

“depth of ‘the depression. Today they are better off Fat hogs and finished ca
than at any time in. history. ttle have ‘turned their golden
corn into cash in the bank. On Saturday night a place to park is as hard to find downtown here as it would be in Chicago’s Loop. Gas rationing hasn't changed that:
One stock buyer for a major packing company paid out $50,000 to these feeders
in a single day. . The flat, black earth here is planted with hybrid corn, and they think nothing now of raising 100 Is an acre. - Hybrid first was
were Henry A. allace, now vice president, and his father. Their par-. ticular species of “hybrid is called “Pioneer Brand.” : Since Henry Mr Kidney went Democratic, some of the Republicans around here feel about him as they would about a backslider in their church. So they rock ‘with laughter when they tell of a Belgian farmer ‘who was buying #Pioneer Brand.” “Don’t you know that brand was @reated by Vice President Wallace?” & neighbor asked.
bumper crop in Henry county, as elsewhere throughout the country, farmers here are optimistic about meeting the new wartime food goals. They are just coming through one of the hardest winters in history, with cold and snow starting early and lasting _ late. : Right now the farmers and their helpers are still wearing the roundiop, long-beak caps with earmuffs attached which are a mark of these midlands as much as wide brims are of the ranch country. They read The Chicago Tribune and cuss about “Washington confusion.” But they are determined to turn out all the fat cattle and hogs possible. « “We are pledged to mass production for the duration,” is the way Mr. Sieben summed it up. :

storage plants. Today he has 20,000 bushels for spring planting and it sells at around $7 a bushel. Hybrid seed muse be bought each year from “those who handle its cultivation and “preservation. But it yields from 10 to 15 bushels more per acre, since the plant life goes into big ears and small stalks. Another large-scale operator is Clyde Ford, for many years one of Henry county’s leading cattle feeders. His seed factory is on the ‘home farm, as is that of Ira Sieben.
Plant Is Streamlined
, Mr. Sieben still feeds plenty of eattle and hogs, and his streamlined ‘hybrid plant has injected the - straight-line production idea into his feed procedures. His is a farm turned food factory; mechanization has been perfected to the point
