Answers Given To Farm Questions QUESTION: Why should a farm-| er pay $10 or more per bushel forj hybrid corn seed when he can get other kinds of corn seed for much less? ANSWER: A little figuring willj show that extra money spent for J hybrid seed is one of the best invest- j ments which a farmer can make. AI bushel of corn will plant about i eight acres. At a price of $10.50 j per bushel, seed for one acre wouldJ cost approximately $1.30. So just| one extra bushel of corn grown on j that acre will pay for the seed cost. | Hybrids generally yield about 20j to 29 per cent more than the best' sources of open-pollinated corn. A' field which normally produced a- j i bout 50 bushels of open-pollinated i : corn yield about 60 bushels when j ■ planted to a hybrid. The extra 10 i | bushels should convince even the J ; most skeptical that buying goodj seed is an investment which pays j i well at harvest time. I I j In terms of results, it is the open-; pollinated corn rather than hybrid I seed which is expensive to buy. QUESTION: Should DDT be used on dairy cows for insect control? ANSWER: No, says the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. Studies over a period of several years show j that the application of DDT direct-1 ly to milk cows for controlling in- ■ sects results in the presence of small quantities of the insecticide in milk. Even small amounts of DDT in a food of this type might prove harm ful in time, particularly for infants arid small children. T<- is remembered that methoxy chlor, another effective insecticide, be substituted for DDT in controll ing insect pests on dairy cows. Farmers also are urged to make every effort to reduce fly breeding sources by proper clean up and sanitary measures. In addition, it is suggested that residual sprays be used in and around other buildings where dairy animals are not housed, and on fences and other places where flies congregate. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE! When Mrs. Taylor emerged from her house and started down the street, she seemed to be in a great hurry. "Going shopping?" her nextdoor neighbor called out. "No, no," she called back over her shoulder, "I haven't the time. I'm just going to get some things I need." The number of milk cows on Unit ed States farms dropped 2 per cent in 1948, leaving 12 per cent less than when the decline began in mid 1944. Perennial Flowers from Seed, Easy as Vegetables To grow perennial flowers from seed, it is far better to sow them in the early spring than to wait for summer. There is no way in which an amateur can save money faster than by growing his own plants of those pe»ennials which "come true" from seed. Peonies, iris, and some others take several years to reach flower ing size, and then cannot bi: de pended to resemble the varieties from which seed were saved. But columbines, delphinium, coreopsis, hardy pinks, shasta daisies, holly hocks, pyrethrum, poppies, and many other lovely kinds of the highest quality can be grown to. full maturity in one year. Many of them, sown early this spring, will give their first blos soms before the season ends; and for years to come will be beautiful performers in your garden pageant. Amateurs who have found diffi culty growing summer-sown peren nials are usually surprised at the difference, when seed is sown in the, spring. The usual practice is to sow the seed in boxes, or in a seed bed; then to transplant to gar den tows as soon as the seedling plants are large enough to han dle. Give them space in the row to grow until fall when they will usually be ready to take their place in the decorative border. If you have vegetable- plot, per ennials can be grown there and given the same feeding and cul tivation. Most of them are as easy to grow as the vegetables.

Plants are difficult grow in large scale operations because of the limited area over which they can be distributed satisfactorily and the high cost of packing such fragile subjects for shipment. The gardener who grows his own pays only for the seed. The task of car ing for the plants and observing their growth is a fascinating rec reation, if he is a true garden fan.
