Saturday the Ladles Aid will Hybrid Improvements Will Not file in Yield Improvements In hybrid corn In the future will come largely in "matters of New hybrids will appear, correcting minor weaknesses that crop out in old strains. Present strains will be refined. But the big step has already been yields. These are the predictions made by Joe L. Robinson, agronomist at Iowa State College, who has been In charge of the stale corn yield test since its beginning.

TleM Advantage 15 Per Cent. No hybrid is perfect, Robinson says. This strain lodges more than It should, that variety sends out too many suckers, others produce ear that are too long, too short, too smooth. Good hybrids consistently ont- yield open-pollinated strains by about 15 per cent. That's history now.

One would not expect similar additional yield Increases every year. And despite some persons enthusiastic wagers, Robinson says It won't. He believes hybrid yields Tuesday, April 25, 1939 During the last several years when acreages of soybeans have been Increasing rapidly, average yield per acre has also been going up. Total production more than doubled from 1926 to 1930. it doubled again by 1934.

And in 1938 the total harvest was considerably more than double the 1934 crop. As production has Increased, soybean prices have gone down, except for the drouth years. Bert Minion Writes of California Conditions will advance slowly. This does not mean that the hybrid Industry Is becoming static. The search for new hybrids goes on.

Robinson says 412 experimental entries are now entered for the 1939 yield test, a "significant" Increase over last year. All-in-One Inoculant May Not Be Good for Soybeans An "all-in-one" Inoculant Is find- Ing Its way on the supply shelves of merchants throughout Iowa this Price Factors. The most Important factors affecting soybean prices, according to the Iowa State economists, are the price of soybean menl, which Is In turn affected by the general feed situation; the price of soybean oil, which Is affected mainly by the price of cottonseed oil, and the demand for soybeans ns seed. The latter factor has been particularly Important during the period of tremendous growth of the soybean Industry. Prices of soybeans declined dur- ng the harvesting of the Inrge 1938 crop but advanced In November, December and January, dropped a little In February and rose during March.

G. Norman, of the agronomy department nt Iowa State College. While this culture should be satisfactory for alfalfa and clovers, Norman fears that the soybean organisms which are rather weak might be rowdcd out by the more vigorous bacteria. Since the bacteria that "fllx 1 nitrogen In soybean root nodules are "weak Norman fears that they will not do well in a culture containing other, more vigorous bacteria. Some dealers might nlso advise buying this ulture In the spring and urge farmers to use the Inocu- lant for the rest of the growing season.

The report Indicates that farmers will plant 7.7 million acres of soybeans compared with 6.9 million last year, an Increase of 12 per cent. Agricultural economists at lowai State College explain that this Increase Is not surprising be-cause soybeans are considered soil conserving under the AAA program when cut for hay, pastured or plowed under for green manure.

Yields Going Up Too. The 1938 soybean crop was 57.7 million bushels, the largest on record and much larger than the 1937 production of 45 million bushels, unsystematic crossing may quickly result In a mongrel herd froi whin the owner will get neithe profit nor pride of ownership. Th boars used should always be pur bred. Three Systems Available. The three general systems crossbreeding available to marke hog producers are: 1.

Mating a pure bred or hlgl grade dam to pure bred sire another breed. 2. A crossbred gilt from the first cross Is matec hack to a boar of the snme. hreet ns one of her parents. After this boars of the two breeds are alternated in producing each new generation of pigs from the dams saved from the last generation.

3. The third method Is similar to except that the boars of three breeds, Instead of two, are rotated as sires of each new generation. Show Crossbred Pigs Have Advantages The results of 10 yaer's research on crossbreeding pigs at the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station nt Ames will be released soon In bulletin by J. L. Lush, P.

S. Shearer and C. C. Culbertson. A summary of the results of the experimental work Indicates that the crossbreds are generally a little more vigorous at birth and tend to make faster and more economical gains than pure bred pigs.

Crossbred pigs averaged about three or four pounds heavier at weaning time than pure breds. Crossbred litters weighed more than comparable pure bred litters at weaning time. This was because the crossbred plgg were heavier and the litters were larger than the pure breds. Crossbred Sows flood. Crossbred pigs gained from .09 to .12 pound more per day while In the feed lot than pure breds.

This means a saving of about 10 (lays to two wekes in getting them to weight of 225 pounds. Invited guests were Mrs. Sproule Mrs. Boardman-Smlth, Mrs. Som- crstadt and Mrs.

She wants to brighten up her kitchen walls lighten the woodwork, change the color of her bedroom furniture, 01 give the house a fresh clean appearance. Getting the right kind of paint is important, says Miss Fannie Gannon, extension borne management specialist at Iowa State College. Wall paint will not do on a floor.

Floor or deck paint has a binder that) stands up against year from feet. And follow the manufacturer's directions as to stirring, thinning, underrating. Be sure to buy good brushes of the right size for the work you want to do. A 3V4 or 4-inch flat brush is generally used for walls, ceilings and other large surfaces. A smaller flat brush, 2 to inches, is needed for wood trim, and a special oval "sash brueb" for painting around windowpanes.

CTval brushes are better than flat opes for any surfaces that are 90! flat Keep qne brush for varnish, nayer dip to paint. Experienced pajjaters nsver al- 9W tp dry on a brush, AJM! they don't keep paint brushes in HUQI linseed Oft If work stops tor more than an HMH save been jwed paints, way be kepi te mostly lacquer must be cleaned In a special liquid put out by the company manufacturing the paint. To store paint brushes, between painting jobs, hang them In raw linseed oil so that the bristles do not touch the bottom of the container. Perhaps most important among all preparations for painting, says Miss Gannon, is to pick a bright, dry, clear day. Dampness in the air will make the painting Job turn out badly.

STAKE MOST OF IKE.tLTIME. Whether it's a hearty "Come 'n get it" on a picnic or a more genteel "Shall we food is one attraction that will gather even the busiest family in one spot. Mealtime is one of the best possible class periods for bringing) up better boys and girls and promoting better homes. No formality just the turn the conversation takes can do a lot of teaching. Mrs.

Alma Jones, extension child development specialist at Iowa State College, has some ideas on making the most of mealtime: It's an Ideal time to develop courtesy habits. Consideration of others doesn't pop up automatically at the junior-senior party, nor later in life in note) dining rooms, if it hasn't heen a customary habit around the family table.
