Laurel Springs, N. C. Visitors to the plot will find that one replication of the test for corn hybrids has been labeled so that the varieties can be ob served as they are growing in the field under growing conditions similar to those which the farm ers of this section of the state will have on their own farm. Visitors to the hybrid corn test plot will find 38 different hybrids on tests. These include not only the hybrids which the farmers are now growing and also some of the newer hybrids which the experiment station is checking and have not released. Included are the Commercial varieties which the farmers of the state are now growing which are entered by the plant breeders of the com mercial concerns. In the management of the test fields, the cultural practices are similar to the practices normally used by the farmers of the sect ion for their general farm pro fram.
