The How and Why Of Hybrid Corn By SAM WILLIAMS Assistant County Agent Perhaps no other advancement in the rfield of American agriculture has been more outstanding than the development of hybrid corn. It has taken many years of theoretical re search to reach the present stage of its development and yet it is a very unusual phase of agriculture in many sections of the country. Very few farmers in North Car olina have been faced .with' the problem of choosing between hy brid corn seed and the . normal open pollinated type. However, this may be one of their problems in the near future if our system of crop production keeps pace with other states. The question is asked many times, what is hybrid corn ? It is the selling of desirable plants of productive varieties to secure an in bred line, that when crossed to an other inbred line from another pro ductive variety, gives seed with enough added vigor to outyield the original parent variety by as much as 35 per cent. To the person who has not had any actual experience with hybrid corn the above prob ably sounds like a tall story, yet in 1935 there were over 194,000 acres planted for commercial pro duction in the United States. But the most unusual part about the yield from these 194,000 acres is that the seed cannot be planted for the next year's crop even though they have given an outstanding yield. The grower must secure seed from the 'breeder each year, which is the result of controlled crossing of two selfed lines. v By inbred lines or selfed lines is meant the placing of a 14 or 16 pound size paper hag over the corn tassel before it has shed any pollen and that a small glassine bag be placed over the shoot before the silks appear to prevent any cross ing of pollen from other corn tas sels. When the pollen begins to shed in the paper bag, the tassel with the bag over it is broken off and placed over the silks from which the glassine bag has been removed. The ear of corn resulting from this artificial pollination is called inbred. The process has to be carried on for five or six years before the va riety can be said to be absolutely pure. When it is crossed with an other ear produced . the same way it is called a hybrid ear. The seed Shirley Has Kiss for Top G-Man i vi - J. Edgar Hoover, director of the federal bureau of Investigation, who was made a member of the Variety Club of America at a luncheon given in the main ball room of the Willard hotel in Washington, D. C, where Shirley Temple presented him with a gold engraved membership card in addition to a kiss given to the head G-man as a token from Hollywood. from this ear gives the increased yield mentioned previously. Hybrid corn seed is very poor in appearance and has no chance of competing with our regular show corn, but in a great many instances, when bushels for the crib are de sired, it will take its place at the top of the list. Many times hybrid corn has made good yields despite adverse weath er conditions and insect attack where open pollinated types have failed. If any farmer chooses to grow hybrid corn, my advice to him would be to purchase his seed from a. noted breeder instead of trying to secure two inbred lines and cross them to produce his hybrid seed because this would require very careful work and a great deal of time. The seed from hybrid corn cannot be planted for the next year's crop, it must be secured from the breeder each year.
