Send tre a lo day trial Nmmm Add rata Ed Steinkamp, Walter O'Brien, Ray Wiles and Henry Ragoos made up a party that drove to Coon Rapids, Iowa, and there investigated the proposition of hybrid corn at its home. The parties there of whom they were guests, have 2,500 acres of this new type of corn under cul tivation this year. These Nebraska gentlemen, all of whom are good Judges of corn, either in their own state or elsewhere, made a conserva tive estimate in which they judge the yield there will run close Jo 80 bushels to the acre. The corn is grown in the ordinary manner, only it is planted four rows to a round, using special planter equipment one row of male corn to three of female. The box containing the male corn is stopped on . the following round, providing a relative propor tion of one male and four female. From then on, the corn is given or dinary cultivation and watched very closely. When the corn begins to tassel, the tassels of the female rows are all cut off, allowing the corn in the three rows to be fertilized by the male row, thus preventing inter fertilization and making for a bet ter yield. One farmer over there who was putting 200 acres to this corn, con tracted with the man from whom he bought the seed to give him one-half of all above the average yield he had produced in former years using the standard seed, instead of paying out right for the seed. This particular field yielded 25 bushels to the acre above the former years' crops and of course cne half of this gain, or nearly 2,500 bushels from the 200 acres, which at prevailing prices pro duced a nice return for the seed man and an equally nice increase in re turn to the farmer. A lot of Cass county farmers are turning to hybrid corn, and why not, for here in Cass county one will find some of the best corn producing land in the en tire nation. If our farmers can in crease their yields like this, a lot of increased revenue wilLpour into the county, to say nothing of the man ner in which hybrid corn withstands dry weather. RIVER WORK NOT MARITIME LINCOLN, Sept. 24 (UP) Attor neys for Cary F.
