MUCH LARGER CORN YIELDS

Arrangements have been completed
by the Executive Committee of the
Delaware Corn Growers Association
for holding the Thirteenth Annual State
Corn Show in Dover, December 10th to
18th, 1919. This association which was
organized Dec. 7th, 1909 has met with
marked success in creating wider in
terest in producing corn of larger yield
and better quality. At that time very
little was known of the comparative
merits of local varieties of corn. The
associatian in conjunction with the De.
partment of Agronomy of the Expert
ment Station has succeeded in testing
out many of these varieties some of
which have proved to be of superior
merit. AS q result the association has
named and introduced in the corn grow
ing circles two or three varieties of
corn which are now wel'-known to the
public, even in other st; t,s. One Of
these is known as the Delaware, a
white csp yellow corn; the other is Sus-
sex White, a variety found to be es-
pecially Well adapted to the light lands
of the state. At the same time such
varieties as johnson County white and
Reid's Yellow :,ent, have Leen intro
duced from other states and now are
known in every corn growing section,
as they have proved to be splendidlyl
adapted to Delaware.
The Annual State Corn Show has
given corn growers the opportunity Of
comparing their own corn with that of
standard varieties and Of noting the
good points Of high producing strains
The association has been instruments a
in placing Delaware in the list of seed
corn producing states and for number
of years large quantities of seed corn
have been bought in Delaware.
It is hoped that the corn show this
year will be one of the largest in the
history of the organization While the
season has not been especially favor
able for corn, yet farmers are finding
that the quality of the grain is much
better than was expected.
The association will offer premiums
not only for corn, but for wheat, oats,
soy beans, cowpeas, clover and grass
seeds. Prizes will also be awarded for
exhibits of forage in the sheaf.
A premium list IS, being prepared
which will be issued shortly.
The following are the officers of the
association for the present year: Presi-
dent, A. P. Corbit, Odessa; 1st vice.
