the cabby he was worried about
his son. Wouldn’t go to school.
The cabby said to the daddy
why don’t you hire me to watch
: out after the boy. Fifty dollars a
| week. I’ll see he goes to school,
(sec? I’m great with kids,
j He was great alright.
Soon as the cabby took over,
the boy began showing up at
school even less than before, if you
lean imagine it. The pair of them

! reports to Miller who will have
I charge of selecting the area and
; state winners. Last year's state
j winner was Harold Watkin, a Red
River County 4-H boy and his
yield was l»i4.4 bushels an acre
was the highest corn yield ever
I officially recorded in Texas, says
Miller. Although growing condi-
j tions were not good last year, 49
producers reported yields in ex-
: cess of 100 bushels of corn per
acre.
Miller points out that records
submitted in previous years clear-
! ly show the best way to increase
I corn yields is to include a soil
i building legume in the crop rota-
tion plan for the farm, use liber-
al amounts of fertilizers and plant
one of the adapted corn hybrids.
Spacing of plants on fertile soil
should be about 18 to 24 inches
to get the 7,000 to 10,000 plants
needed on an acre for maximum
yields, says Miller. Cultivation,
he adds should be shallow because
i the heavy loot system is near the
; surface of the soil and must not
j be disturbed if high yields are to
be obtained.
Persons interested in securing
more information on either pro-
gram or on the best corn hybrids
for this area or on fertilization
i should contact their local county
agent. Recommendations on many
of the corn production problems
| vary with the different areas of
the state and for that reason Mil-
j let suggests getting the informa-
tion close to home.
