uniform and delicious flavor.
For generations we have been de-
pending upon Father Wind to pol
Innate the corn. The breezes came
along and lifted the ripe pollen
from the male plants, and though
much of it was lost, some of it fell
on the receptive silk of the female
plants. Once the pollen reached the
silk, termination took place, a poll
len tube was sent down through
which the sperm of the male pollen
reached the egg at the base of the
silk. And each kernel on the ear
may have been pollinated from a
different male corn plant. You can
see what a gamble the farmer faced
in order to have a field of good
corn, even though he had selected
the most perfect seeds from female
plants of the year before.
Then science was applied to the
contrasting business, and hybrids
have answered the need. Seeds
must be produced each year. They

Hybrid Corn
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Corn on the cob" is often used
AS an expression of pleasure. Those
who are watching their weight
forego the delicious combination of
sweet corn and oodles of butter.
How many persons looking at a
perfect ear of corn, either to be
used for human or stock consump-
tion, know how much the law of
genetics (the science of heredity)
had to do with the final results?
There Is today an increasing de-
mand for information on what con-
stitutes hybrid corn and how it is to
be produced, because good hybrid
is desirable kind of seed corn
which possesses uniformly good
better yield per acre and is of bet
ter quality than the finest open or
wind pollinated varieties.
Hybrids are successful when they
are used in the right environment,
because each one is definitely
adapted to certain localities. There
fore, in selecting hybrid seed corn,
1t IS most important 10 choOSe only
that kind which will be productive
in the particular place in mind.
Now you are asking, What is
hybrid corn, and how is it different
from other seed corn?" Hybrid seed
corn is the first-generation cross or
hybrid involving two or more inbred
strains of corn" In order to obtain
the finest seeds, a combination of
three simple conditions must exist,
and these relate only to corn and
corn production. First. pollination
in corn should be controlled by
pulling the tassels from the unde-
sirable male plants before they shed
pollen; second, an individual corn
plant, all things being equal, pro-
duces an abundant number of
seeds, and third, only few seeds,
relatively speaking, are needed to
plant an acre of land.
Thus it is possible to produce hy-
brid seed corn each year at fairly
low cost per acre. And these seeds
produce plants that withstand
storms, disease and droughts, as

ony Theater and that those words
were the only ones I had ever
spoken.
We had heard the newsboys on
the street yelling about the big

have value for one crop only and
not for further reproduction. True,
the seed will produce a crop the
following year but there will be a
decided loss in yield. A hybrid dur
ing the first generation will pro-
duce a larger crop per acre and
yield high-quality corn far superior
to the best commercial varieties.
Therefore, hybrid seed corn Is in
creasingly sought, with the result
that better and sweeter corn is
being placed on the market. Sci

says
The majority OF the evidence
seems to establish certainly that
the men now being indicted into
our army are Of an exceedingly
high grade of physical fitness.
Moreover. the men Of military
age are In better physical condi-
ton now than were the men oil
similar age in 1917.
A much more rigid examination
and the higher standards have
yielded a rejection rate approx
mately the same as that which
prevailed in 1917. Were the men
not physically fit, they would not
be able 10 meet as well the more
rigid examination and the higher
standards of selection.
"a. figures indicate that the
average stature Of men il greater
now than In 1917, which again
would seem 10 indicate that under
nutrition among men Of military
age Il not a serious factor"
DR.. Fishbein gives his approval
10 this statement by a ranking
officer Of the army medical corps;
The sturdy state Of health Of the
men now being indicted into the
