Hybrid Corn Growers OF District
Busy With Detasseling Program

For the last three weeks Hybrid
corn growers have been busy with
one of the most important processes
in the care of their crop, the de-
tasseling program.
Detasseling is very important in
corn raised for Hybrid seed, and the
work must be done carefully and
thoroughly. The cross is secured by
removing tassels from the "seed
bearing rows, allowing them to

rows.
In the process three rows out of

Raising Hybrid seed corn is in

tassels are removed the corn con-

husked about the first of October.
Husked corn is placed in special
