More Interest Shown in Hybrid Corn This Year (By Fftyette Co. Farm Bureau) A number of men have already ordered small amounts of hybrid seed corn to try out this year in comparison with their own varieties. The orders have ranged from one half bushel to a bushel.

This is sufficient seed to get a field check. Some plan to use the Hybrid seed in one planter box and their own variety in the other while others will plant either four or eight rows of the Hybrid and a similar number rows of their in various parts of the field. The production of Hybrid seed corn is a highly specialized proposition which involves several years of inbreeding and theft finding a combination of inbreds that are suitable to use in the production of Hybrid seed. When a combination is once found that does ptove to be successful it always be counted on to give almost identically the same results. Hybrid seed should always be secured ffom ft source known to be reliable and of a number known to be high yielding and eafly enough to mature in the locality where it is to be grown.

Because of the extremely wet fall last year which provided favorable growing conditions for molds, the Agricultural college is recommending that all seed corn given the dust treatment this spring. Hundreds of samples tested by them prove conclusively that many corn diseases are present in the seed corn. Iledjiiinln Franklin attended school only about two tlM ngea of eight stid ten.
