no pollen and the fifth row, of
another strain, is left to act as the
pollinating plant. The double cross
is made in the same manner, using
seed from two single crosses. The
hybrid end product is the result
of mixing four pure strains.
The work of detasseling corn Is
almost done on Mr.. Wards farm
now and the next steps will be the
harvesting and preparation Of seed.
After shucking the ears are put In
special drying machines. The corn
is then shelled and run through
graders which separate the kernels
according to size.
Seed corn is marketed by grades

w oCfCl dl hIlctlCS WHICH UGdr his
name. Mr.. Ward produces CONNER
cial seed of Illinois 200, Illinois 448,
U. s. 13, U. S. SO and U. S. 262
About ITO acres of his rolling farm
land are devoted to seed corn and
his barns are filled with machinery
necessary for preparing it for
market.
Mr.. Ward is not sure he is the
first in Virginia to hybrldize corn,
but believes he Is the first individ-
ual farmer in the State to make a
business OF 1t without outside help.
Producing hybrid seed has become
his main business, but q 40-cow
dairy, he says, provides enough side
work to keep him out Of mis-
chief"
Sees Greater Yields.
He believes the 20 per cent greater
Yields Of hybrids may be increased,
but points to the even greater ad-
vantage Of the hybrid which is ap-
pal lently able to Withstand attacks
OF the European corn borer. The
borer, he says, is becoming an in
creasing economic problem.
He believes more work will be done
in creating hybrid strains even more
resistant. Control measures so far,
he points out, consist mainly of de-
stroying field trash, the breeding
place Of the borer, but this has not
proven satisfactory.
In this connection Mr.. Ward says
experiments on his farm indicate
that U. S. 13 and 262 and Wards
No. Z are better able to withstand
corn borer attacks. "It is problem
to be tackled by every one inter-
ested In seed production, he says,
"and will require more than the
efforts of one man."
Before he started developing hy-
brids Mr.. Ward raised open pol
linated corn varieties for seed. This
consisted Of planting the corn, cul-
tivating 1t as any farmer does and
selecting the best of the harvest
for seed.
Starts With Four Strains.
For hybrid seed he starts with
four pure strains, the seed for which
has been produced by specialists,
since it requires five to six years
Of self-pollination or inbreeding to
develop the required purity. From
these strains he first makes a single
cross and later a double cross to
produce hybrid variety.
The pure strains used for a single
cross are planted in rows at the
ration Of four to one. Four rows

Gardening Tips
For This Week

A new crop Of bagworms adorr
our eYergreens and some Of the
shrubs. The best cure is to hand
pick and burn the cocoons, although
1t may be that the DDT will be
effective. Until this has been
proven, 1t will pay to remove the
cocoons. Where yard is infested
a spraying or dusting in May will
do much to control the worms be-
fore they enter their bags.
japanese beetles are thick on
corn silk now and the only remedy
seems to be dusting with lime or
suraying with DOT (can also be
applied as a dust). Unless the
silk is protected from these pests
polarization may be interfered
with.
1t Is not too late to divide old
clumps OF iris or to buy new va
rieties. However, 1t should not be
much delayed or the plants will not
become well established before
winter. They will not make as
much growth as desired and hence
will be unlikely to bloom next
spring. In dividing old clumps
examine them for signs of the iris
borer; dig out and disinfect all in
fected clumps.
Late July and early August Is
seed sowing time for many of the
biennials and perennials. While II
is bit hot and often difficult to
get good termination, planting can
not be delayed much longer or the
seedlings will not be large enough
to transplant to the beds in Sep
tember.
