EARLY PLANTING OF CORN IS ESSENTIAL Larger Varieties Can Be More Profitably Grown. Results of Experiments Conducted to Demonstrate Practicability and Value of Method-Better Yields Obtained. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Iarller plaiting of large, productive varieties of corn is frequently imuch inore prolitable than the normal plant Ing of early maturing varieties. Proof of this has been obtained in many In stances. announces the chief of the ull. reau of plant industry, lin reporting onl IIe results of experiliielits Von duct:' to delionstrate the pract Ienhil ity and value of the earlier planting of corn. By nuch e arlier than norinal planting It has been found that larger varieties (lit be protitably grown for entsihe .n northern localities with 11uch1 btet (t'er yields thiiit Can l he had front the sInaller ntftive varieties plant ed at the usual date. i the South, by plilti ng stuall short-season varletles earlier thon nor m1al, inuch earlier iaturity enn be se cured, affording a supply of corn for very early feedIng. M1any rather soft varietIes that rot badly when planted late produce souind Corn whlel planted early in southern localities. Tite plant Ing of short andt long season varieties in alternate rows Ihls increased yields where ioisture Is it ilimiting factor. Varieties differ, it has been found, Ii their ability to adapt themselves and their grain production to varying sitnds. Proliltie varieltles, w~ hen given increased spalce, have shown ability to iiereine t heir griain production much imore satisfactorily than have the sin gle ear varieties, becaise of their nIl Ity to mnake up for dellelency in stand. The studI!es made by the department specialists have resulted in isolating uniform t.ypes within a varlety. It has been found that so-called varieties of corn are largely conglomerates of many distinct tyites. aitd to arrive att basic facts in breeding vork it Is necessary to segregate these uniforin types.
