Narrow Rows Water
Corn Of The Future
Irrigated corn in the future
will be produced in narrow
rows to get top yields and to
increase water use efficiency.
This was the prediction of
Dr. D. G. Hanway, Chairman
of the Agronomy Department
of the University in a report
on irrigation research pertain
ing to corn production in Del
avan, Wise.
Corn is an efficient crop for
storing the sun's energy in
grain, he said. But much of
the sun's energy striking a
cornfield is used up in evap
orating water.
During the growing season
about 50 per cent of the wa
ter lost is transpired by plants,
Hanway pointed out. The oth
er 50 per cent evaporates di
rectly from the soil. Water
equivalent to a layer from 16
to 25 inches deep is used from
the surface of the entire acre
age in producing each year's
corn crop, he said.
Research shows that plant
ing relatively high popula
tions in 20 inch, rather than
38-40 inch, rows will intercept
more of the sun's energy and
reduce evaporation from the
soil surface, conserving mois
ture for use by the plan t,
Hanway said. The open pat
tern of a check-rowed field,
in contrast, allows a maxi
mum of sunlight to reach the
soil, evaporating more water
at that level.

Rainmakers Meet
For Conference
On Meteorology
A group of relly down-to-earth
weathermen from across
the nation oA ned a three-day
conference on agricultural
meterology today at the Ne
braska Center for Continuing
Edcation. .
The meeting is the sixth
annual Conference on Agri
cultural Meteorology of the
American Meteorological So
ciety. These men are not really
weathermen, they are meteor
ologists, but unlike the ma
jority of meteorologists of the
U.S. Weather Bureau, their
interest in conditions in the
upper atmosphere is only
incidental
They are primarily interest
ed in an area from about six
feet above to about one foot
below the ground.
These members of the so
ciety are working in agro-climatology-4;he
climatic con
ditions that affect the growth
of plants.
Two University scientists
are in charge of arrange
ments and members of the
program committee. They are
Dr. William Colville, associ
ate professor of agronomy,
and Dr. Norman Rosenberg,
assistant professor of horti
culture and forestry.
Also on the program com
mittee are Richard Meyers of
Lincoln, state climatologist
with the U.S. Weather Bu
reau; George Robertson of Ot
tawa, Canada, clJef of the ag
rometeorological section, Cen
tral Experiment Farm; Rob
ert Dale of Ames, Iowa, U.S.
Weather Bureau; and Wayne
Decker of the University of
Missouri.
Scientists from across the
nation and Canada will pre
sent 42 papers at the conference.
To be explored further are
indications that the pattern of
planting and the plant and
leaf architecture of different
hybrids may actually influ
ence the proportions of the
sunlight absorbed and reflect
ed in a field, Hanway report
ed. Increasing the efficiency of
water use in agriculture is ex
ceedingly important as popu
iJon pressures on water sup
plies increase, Hanway said.
This is vital to the economy
of irrigated areas. The prin
ciple, however, applies equal'
iy to more humid areas, rep
resenting an opportunity for
still more efficient produc
tion of feed and fiber, he said.
Water is the vehicle for get
ting fertilizer elements into
plants, he explained. As the
plant transpires, it estalish
es a suction or tension that
moves water from the thin
films around soil particles to
the root surface. The water
thus moves dissolved plant
nutrients into a position where
they can be absorbed.
Roots neither grow in dry
soil nor can they take up nu
trients from dry soil, he said.
Irrigation practice, therefore,
controls more than the avail
ability of water. It influences
root growth and controls nu
trient uptake of plants.

"Friendly and very cord

Romanian people given by
three University staff mem
bers who visited there recent
ly in conjunction with t h e
Science Congress.
Dr. Robert Olson, Dr. Thom
as McCalla and Dr. Andrew
Mazurak of the agronomy de
partment at the College of Ag
riculture and Home Econom
ics agreed that the Romanian
government had gone to much
effort to make the soil con
gress and the visit to their
city a success.
The soil scientists were en
tertained with a palatial state
banquet in their honor, a
symphony, a folk show, an
opera and were allowed to
tour Bucharest freely.
The scientists said only a
small majority of Communist
scientists were among the
1,500 scientists from 91 coun
tries attending the congress.
However, they were allowed
a free interchange of ideas
with the scientists and en
joyed several lengthy conver

most relaxed Russians I have
ever seen or spoken to," Ol

processing it as well. The 100 -000
acre farm had approxi
mately 4,000-5,000 people liv
ing on it. About 60 per cent
of the farm workers were
women.
"The collective system of
farming looked quite ineffici
ent to me with its basic lack
of incentive for getting any
task done," Olson said.
"The Romanians seem to
be quite artistic and have
many beautiful parks and
flowers," McCalla said. "Bu
charest is being maintained
as a showplace with the pal
aces, parks and national
museums.
"I also noticed that the
streets of Bucharest were
continually filled with people
who were walking and win
dow shopping," McCalla add
ed. Their main forms of
transportation are streetcars,
buses, walking and horse
carts. Before going to Romania,
Olson and Mazurak spent two
weeks in Russia, while Mc
Calla toured Western Europe.
"Romania doesn't look any
thing like Russia," Olson
pointed out. "The human at

tural development doesn't ap

Ineffective soil water manage

sons for the difference."
Olson added that the crops
in Russia were doing quire
well this year by Russian
standards and that there
would be no large wheat im
ports as were required last
year.
The visitors traveled about
1,500 miles 'by bus from Mos
cow to Kherson on the Black
Sea. While in southern Rus
sia, Olson and Mazurak noted
huge orchards of peaches, ap
ples and pears. "There was
an abundance of fruits, but
an obvious need for insecti
cides," Olson said.
"While in Russia, we were
shown some of their hydro
electric plants on the Dnieper
river which include some of
the largest in the world."
"We also visited the Mos
cow exposition, which is sim
ilar to the World Fair in New
York. It is a fantastic per
manent display of all of the
Russian products," Dr. Ma
zurak said.
Bookstores and places of
culture opera houses, muse

were noticed to be quite com
mon in Russia as were tele
