Lothrop's ideas run like this: Good
breeding does not mean high priced,
far-into- the-money pedigreed animals
Not at all. Just strong. vigorous,
healthy animals which are capable of
high production If properly handled
Sensible way to look at it after ALL
Intelligent Handling
And by sound management, Lothrop
means that the farmer get down to
fundamentals-actually get down to
the old rule-of- thumb methods. That's
what he means. just common horse
sense!
And when it comes to sanitation,
well. now we're talking down Lothrop's
alleyl This means program of pro-
lection a lot like. life insurance

sites and insects. A large order, yes.
but one which can be filledl
Feed right. SureI The farmer who
fails to feed right does not get from
his birds or animals all that they are
capable of producing. And SO Lothrop

HYBRID CORN YIELDS BETTER

That hybrid corn yields better, Ia
more vigorous, stands up better, and
is of better quality than most vari-
cites of regular corn has been shown
by various tests conducted in Mary
land, Delaware, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, and North Carolina, according
to George A. Jackson, Richmond,
Va. Seed Specialist of Southern
States Cooperative.
'The fodder from your hybrid
corn is of uniform height, not ex-
cessively tall, and very easy to cut,
saving labor there" d. H. Sherwood
of Baltimore County, Md, declared
in discussing the results he has OBJ
tained from hybrid corn. "And the
fact there were one to two ears on
from the ground enabled US to save
labor in husking. We, of course, cut
it two weeks earlier than most corn
in our neighborhood. Ordinary corn
adjacent to ours yielded half what
our acreage did,"
Good hybrid corn, adapted to this
section, yields from five to twenty
five more bushels per acre than open
pollinated corn" Mr.. Jackson point
ed out, "Also, such corn can stand
heavy winds and rains, droughts,
and other unusual weather condi-
lions.
Hvhrid seed corn Is working n
revolution in corn growing in Amer
lea. Statistics show that over half
the corn planted in the big corn pro-
ducing States is now hybrid seed.
Its use is gaining by leaps and
bounds in the East"

her supporting cast are beef cattle,
hogs, and horses. But "Bossy" gets
all the fat lines-and that's no joke,
as farmers will observe when they see
the picture at one of their farm
meetings.
The picture tells the story of pas
ture improvement which today is MAX

to-date profitable farming practices.

is crop that responds to plant food,
lime, and good management. Results
of hundreds of experiments and DEM
onstrations conducted by State Ex-
pertinent Stations have spot-lighted
its value to every farmer"
Every well-fed cow" said Mr..
Lush, "eats the equivalent of 100
pounds Of grass day. The cost of
producing 100 pounds of digestible nu-
trients from oats is $500; from corn
silage $1.54; from corn grain $1.38,
while pasture produces this amount
for $.64."
The results of 81 experiments also
showed that the cost of producing 100
pounds of beef on unimproved infer
tilted pasture was $4.05, while the
cost on fortified pasture was only
$2.71. The same experiment showed
that unfertilized pasture produced
only 1875 cans of milk per acre, while
the treated pasture made a. cans.
Results of z years experiments at
Triton, Georgia, show unimproved
pastures produced only 65 pounds of
beef cattle per acre, while carpet grass
and legume pastures fortified pro-
duced POI pounds of beef per acre.
