Mr. Evans a well known breeder of Hamp­ shire hogs on his Ferndale farms ^ on State Route 72, reports that he has always had it his goal to raise 125 bushels of com to-the acre; but up to this year he had never been able to make it. The record was made in a field of U. S. 13 of which five acres were sampled with an av­ erage yield of 136.93 bushels per acre, with one plot in the field going as high as 148.9 bushels per acre. The seed was purchased from Harold Mark, Washington C. H., and was the large and medium fla t grades of this hybrid. The field had originally been in clov­ er with 20 per ‘cent super phos­ phate and with 2 - 12-6 fertilizer applied on the row in the corn. It was planted 8 inches apart in the rows with 40 inches between rows. Mr. Evans states that he believes tha t thick planting pays on his type of soil with his fert­ ility level. * U. S. 13 is proving to be one of the most popular hybrids ev­ er developed-for this part of the state.
