Hybrid Seed
Aid To Farmer
More emphasis is being placed
on the Idea that a farmer cannot
afford to pau up hybrid teed corn
any longer, according to A. D.
Stuart, State College exteniion
agronomy specialist.
Stuart quote* Dr. Robert C Eck
hardt, regional coordinator, South
ern Corn Breeding Program, Mis
aiaaippi State College, aa aaying
"the beet Investment a fanner can
make i* to buy hybrid aeed corn
each year. The farmer who goe*
to the crib and picki out hia aeed
from the hybrid aeed corn he grew
.for feed last summer may loat
*125 or more for each bushel of
corn be aelecta from the crib and
planta."
Eckhardt says that in tests across
the South, "Fl" double cross hy
brid new corn, the kind that the
farmer buys from the seedsman,
oetyielded second year (crib corn)
/ by an average of 33 per cent
Hybrid seed corn costs the farm
er about $1.80 to >2 per acre for
aeed each year. Feed corn from
the crib may produce 75 bushels
of corn per acre on good land with
plenty of water and fertillaer, but
first generation hybrid aeed corn
will produce 100 bushel* per acre
on the same land. '
Stuart aaya the reason this "Fl"
first generation hybrid corn yield*
more than advance generation
"crib" con la because of hybrid
vigor. The farmer planting corn
from the crib ia planting corn that
ha* been inbred for one genera
tion. Clove breeding cauie* a re
daction in vigor and yield, he ex
plain*.
Publicly reported dividend*
amounted to fMS.000.000 in Janu
ary, which wa* 12 per cent above
the same month of IBM, according
to the Commerce Department. The
month'* rise was about the same
aa that of the full year IBM over
ISM.

But the Republican Party i* al
io torn aaunder, on the farm ques
tion. There are member* of the G.
0. P.. now serving la both the
House and Senate, who fear that
Republican confidence over vic
tory- could be *adly shattered if
the Democrat* heal their differeoc
There may not be much chance
of this, and ret it la certainly an
enticlnc prospect (or the Demo
crat! U they can heal their party
wounds, and thereby gain a good
chance to defeat President Eisen
hower ? something once thought
Impossible ? it may not be expect
ing too much to expect a new
patching up of the party.
The Republicans' trouble, in
farm areas, la very real. Congress
should have finished up ? farm
relief bill, and it should have been
signed into law in February, if the
Administration was to provide
farm relief in time. But the Ad
miniatration was not ready to ac
cept high parity price supports.
Now it may be too late to re
lieve the farm situation, especial
ly in the Midwest. Estes Kefauv
er's Minnesota primary victory
seemed a sure sign of basic unrest
in the farm areas of that state.
Kefauver waa for high parity aup
ports.
A majority of Republicans still
find comfort in their belief that
the split in Democratic ranks is
too deep to heal. They are sure
the party will be split worse in
November than it ia in April. If
they are right, Mr. Eisenhower
has a strong factor going for him.
Meanwhile the Democrats might
be tossing away their one oppor
tunity to defeat the President, by
not unifying and playing up the
farm problef aa the number one
domestic iasue, and seeking the
support of rural citizes in all parts
of the country, to put them back
in office.
There are Republican* who are
laying that unless Secretary of
Agriculture Exra Benson resigns
prior to the election he will cost
Mr. Eisenhower hundreds of thou
sands of votes. If this is an accur
ate analysis, these lost votes could
be decisive, since they might swing
Um electoral collage vote of a num
ber of states.
The rumor keeps floating around
Washington that Benson will step
town, and Ikm km ten indica
tion* that th? White House Palace
Hoard has by passsd the Secretary
im agricutural ma tun on several
occasions in recent ?wb.
On cm occasion, feelers from
the White Home reached an im
portant Democratic Representative
? teering the (arm relief bUl
through its final conferee stages,
and it was reported Benson was
not in on the compromise propos
al suggested by the White House.
Wo some observers that looked
like the panic which has descend
ed on important O. O. P. figures
on Capitol Hill had at last been
felt in the White Houae, and that
it was finally realized that Benson
was too much of a political liabili
ty to be given continued unquali
fied support.
The political situation at pres
ent, then, offers each party a
chance to strengthen its chances.
The Democrats must heal the split
and prevent an open rupture at
their national convention in Chi
cago. Several major efforta in this
direction are already underway.
The Republicans are tied to a
heavy handicap if quick relief
isn't provided the farmer. Both
problems are serious. Perhaps the
Republicans dilemma is less com
plicated. Time will tell.
The Air Force has revealed that
it is working on two kinds of
ocean-spanning J>allistic missiles
apd one type in the mid-range
field. The two long-range missiles
are Atlas *nd the Titan. The third
type ? a missile in the 1,900-mile
intermediate range is known as
the Thor.
