County Agent Advises Planting Adapted Hybrids Selecting an adapted hybrid is one of the most important steps a farmer can take toward the Master Corn Program goal of 60 bushels of corn per acre. County Agent George A. Loyd said this week. “Planting hybrid corn seed is a fairly new practice in Georgia,” the county agent asserted, “but it is one that has certainly caught on rapidly with the majority of farm ers.” He pointed out that today more than 80 percent of the corn land in Georgia is planted to hybrids com pared to less than 10 percent in 19-15. The county agent went on to say that plant breeders believe that de velopment of hybrid seed is the out standing development in science dur ing the 20th century. This opinion is based on the fact that in develop ing a hybrid the plant breeder is ab’e to breed for high yields, disease resistance and other factors which make possible more profitable crops. “But equally as important as se lecting a hybrid corn seed is choos ing one that is adapted to your farm,” the county agent declared. “Through the research program of the University of Georgia agricul tural experiment stations, the fol lowing hybrids have been tested for at least three .years and have prov ed to be adapted to this county: White varieties, Coker 71 and Pfist er 635 W; Yellow varieties, Coker 67, Coker 71, Dixie 18, Speights D-4 and Jackson. “These hybrids are available at local seed stores,” he said. “The purchase price of good hy brid seed may seem high,” he said, “but the yield increases of hybrids is many times greater than those of open pollinated varieties. According to research, an adapted hybrid will yield at least 20 percent more than open pollinated corn under any con ditions. “For optimum, economical yields of corn, select a hybrid that meets your needs. Then, follow through with other recommended practices in spacing, cultivation, fertilization and sidedressing.” Future Homemakers Met on Tuesday The Nahunta FHA met Tues day, March 19.
