in addition to other things that it was
necessary to have money to successful

fact, this was only one half the cost
of one of our battleships that might
be destroyed in a few seconds by a

Crop Ranks High-lnterest In Com
ing Corn Show at Seaford

Delaware is widely known for her
fruit and vegetables. vet these are
not the most Important crops Of the
State. Corn leads in value all crops.
with wheat second The annual corn crop
is valued at 4. 500. 600 dollars; that
of wheat at 1000. 600 dollars The
average yield of corn per acre in Del
aware is only a little less than thar of
the leading corn belt States in the Mid
die West. The average yield per acre of
wheat is equal TO that of Illinois and
Iowa. The average price of grain
on the farm in Delaware is, for an
average of ten years, ten cents per
bushel more than in the Mississippi
Valley. The possibilities for profitable
grain production in Delaware are as
good as in the corn belt States. Last
year the large yields per acre for a
ten acre field in Indiana was no
bushels. One Delaware grower harves-
ted 1925 bushels from a ten-acre
tract. One acre of this yielded 12S
bushels of corn. A yield of 100
bushels per acre has been made by
Delaware farmers more than a dozen
times during the past five years.
These results come about largely
through the introduction of better
methods of culture. improved and
selected varieties Of seed. II is
significant that the largest yields per
acre received in this State have
been made by men who were active
members of the Delaware Corn
Growers Association. The leading
corn growers and seed corn producers
are members of the Association and
annually exhibit at the State Corn
Show. Let every corn grower in the
State prepare an exhibit Of ten ears
Of corn and bring it to Seaford for
the State Corn Show December S.1I.
You may have something better than
is exhibited by any one else; if not.
YOU will have the opportunity of find
ing out how to improve your strain of
corn. The Corn Growers Association

Der of farmers 10 make e,.hibits of

well-known for her production of cow
peas and soy beans. Tens cf thous-
ands Of bushels Of eowpeas sre grown
annually The soy bean hes within
the past six years become identified
with our system of farm practice.
Many inquiries come from other states
each year for crimson clover seed and
soy teans. Delaware 10 recognized
as the pioneer in the introduction of
the Wilson variety Of soy bean which
has become so popular that it is listed |
