The an­ swer obviosly is “ yes” when the prob­ lem is considered from an acre basis. Ten bushels extra o f shelled com per acre, removes 9 pounds o f ’phosphoric acid, and 3 pounds of potash in the grain alone. Looking at the problem from the entire farm, the development and use of hybrid com has made possible the production of the same total amount of corn on about one-sixth less acer- age. Com peed* can be satisfied on t fewer acres, thereby making it pos- * sible to keep more acres i soil-con- ; serving sod crops j Hybrid corn should be grown ni | good rotations, preferably following . legume-grass seed, crops Fertilize - 1 tion rates should be increased, On ! . ^sloping lands- .contour cultivations,' strip cropping, rfhd ,in. some cases, j terracing should be Used to control erosion losses from the land.
