TEXAS HYBRID CORN
The history of corn is as old as the
history of mankind.
From the earliest records which
ancient man left around his campfire
down through medieval and modern
history, civilizations have achieved
greatness or have crumbled according
to the supply of corn. “Corn”, in
this sense, applies to all cereal grains
—those abundant streams of gol-
den and white kernels which are lit-
erally the lifeblood of healthy, vigor-
ous nations.
Ancient Egypt’s strength was de-
rived from its corn crop. The annu-
al inundation of the land by the Nile
River provided fertile soil to produce
grain for thousands of slaves who
built huge temples and monuments
that are still wonders of the modern
world. The energy which produced
these architectural marvels came
from products of the soil.
One of the first incidents concern-
ing the founding of our nation is
| woven around this grain. When the
Pilgrims landed on the rocky eastern
shore, they wer^ met by friendly In-
dians who helped them prepare for
the hard winter ahead. Perhaps one
of the most valuable acts of friendship
by the Redmen was to teach the new-
j comers how to cultivate a corn crop.
The fruits of this act were served at
the first Thanksgiving meal.
We have come a long way in the
development of corn since those early
days. The Pilgrims merely dug a
hole in the ground and dropped in a
kernel of corn fertilized with a small

CUT COTTON PRODUCTION
COST WITH ROTARY HOE,
Cotton chopping and hoeing rank
next to harvesting as top labor con-
suming operation? in the production
of cotton. In some sections of Tex-
as, almost one-fourth of all the man
hours required to produce a cotton
crop are spent on chopping and hoe-
ing. Fred C. Elliott, cotton spec-
ialist for the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, says use the of rot-
J because they are afraid of covering
I up the small cotton plants or dam-
aging them as a result of the thoro-
ughly torn up soil surface. Tests
made by the Texas Agricultural Ex-
periment Station and the results of
demonstrations conducted by farm-
ers, he says, have proved that such
damage will not occur if the rotary
hoe is properly adjusted. The cot-
ton seed planted well below the reg-
ulated depth at which the picker
wheels should run and thus very lit-
tle or no damage will occur.
Cross-cultivating or using a me-
chanical chopper are two other mech-
anical practices which have been
successfully used in some sections of
: the state for cutting the hoeing and
| chopping bill.

they will break the surface crust to
a depth of one-half to three-fourths
of an inch. This not only breaks up
the surface crust but also tears up
the soil so that seedling weeds and
