Most com in the O’Neill area,
both irrigated and dryland, isj
ready for a freeze.
This was the observation this
week of persons who travel the
area and of farmers themselves,
who arc* sitting on perhaps the
biggest corn crop in history'.
L. W. Gibson, Bristow banker, j
In-lieves none of the dryland com
in his community will yield less
than 35-bushels-per acre. "There's |
lots of 50-bushel com here,” he
declared.
R. T. Berry, who farms north
of Stuart, estimates his dryland
corn will average 3540 bushels,

a 20-acre field of non-irrigated
corn thai "might hit 80 bushels

th grazing and hay country.
Some of tin1 Irrigated corn will
produce fabulous yields, declar
ed J. O. Walker o'l O'Neill, who
follows agriculture closely. He
said William Babutzke, who
farms on.- mile east of O'Neill,
will harvest 100-bushel-per-acre
corn from a 50-acre irrigated,
field "The com is dented well,
dried out good, and can take a
freeze any time.”
County Agent A. Neil Dawes
said some dryland com will yield
up to 60-bushels-per-acre.
Some estimated irrigated yields
include: Louis Banos, north of
O'Neill, 80 bushels; Frank Brady,
near Atkinson, 100; Charles
Shane, north of Atkinson, 80.
Walker said the area is "full
of sorghum and most of it has
passed any danger of freezing’’.
Some farmers already have
started to combine sorghum and
hybrid varieties (narrow shankst
tumbles down Dawes said 13
percent moisture in sorghum is
safe for keeping.
