CORN HYBRIDS RECORD FINE
RECORD IN TEXAS IN 1952
Tex»s-d*»veloped corn hy-
brids, last year, despite un-
favorable growing conditions
in most sections of the state,
came through with good
yields.
The highest per acre corn
yield reported in Texas for
1952 was made by Oscar John -
son of Freestone county. His
yield was 137.5 bushels of corn
an acre and Texas Hybrids 28
and 30 were used.
Texans, young and old, by
participating in the 1953 Tex-
as Hybrid corn production pro-
gram will get their shot at be-
ing named the “Texas Cham-
pion Grower of the Year.”
This program is sponsored by
the Texas Certified Hybrid
Corn Growers association in
cooperation with the Texas

vice and all corn growers who
plant an approved Texas Hy-
brid, except commercial hy-
brid seed growers, their fam-
ilies and employees, are eli-
gible to participate.
Last years there were three
entries from Fayette county—
Henry Witt from Rabies Prai-
rie, Leroy Schneider, a 4-H
Club member from Trinity
Hill, and E. G. Hoinsohn who
farms on the Bluff. All of these
entrants produced better than
'0 bushels of corn on the
tci'es and entered in the con-
test Mr. Witt was high man
producing 75.8 bushels per
acre. He planted Texas Hybrid
30 and used Ammonium Sul-
phate under his corn and as a
side dressing as recommended
by the soil testing laboratory
at A. & M. college.
The association program,
says County Agent Jim Reese,
is demonstrating the produc-
tive ability of Texas hybrid
corns and how profits from
corn growing can be increased
through the use of good plant-
ing seed, legumes, fertilizers
and cultural methods.
The state, for contest pur-
poses, has been divided into
four areas and awards will be
made by the sponsor to the
five top growers in each with
a special award—a plaque—
