one Southern Illinois farmer; more e
progressive than the rest, was in

seed TO plant 800 acres as q result
Of bis study Of corn in the Illinois
College Of Agriculture. These
800 acres outyielded all of the 9th
or fields on his farm more than 80
bnshels per acre, and, so far as
could be determined, the fields of
that entire section yielded about
thirty bushels per acre. This in-
crease OF yield meant o total gain
OF about 5000 buehels, which rep
resented cash value Of about Sd
O00 that season. As this increase
did not represent an increased cost
OF production, the gain was pure
profit. In another case farmer

a corn breeder, to plant 80 acres.
AS Q result he raised almost 25
bushels more per acre of this field
than where the ordinary seed was
planted.
