We’re told that it can be worn under your coat so that the next time the weather is balmy you will be ready to salute Spring in the proper fashion. You won’t have to worry about many others wearing similar garments, either, what with the price listed as $40.00 in Harper’s Bazaar. Variety Tests Proving Dixie 17 Corn Is Best Official variety tests in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont re gions show that Dixie 17 white hy brid corn outyields N. C. 27 yel low but that the latter variety is superior in grain quality, stalk strength, and weevil resistance. In the tests, which were con ducted from 1947 through 1949, Dixie 17 outyielded the best open pollinated yellow variety by 40 per cent. N. C. 27 outyielded the best open-pollinated yellow va riety by 26.1 per cent in the Pied mont and 21.4 per cent in, the Coastal Plain. Both hybrids have become very popular in North Carolina since 1947 and are replacing older, less desirable hybrids such as N. C. 26 and Tenn. 10.
