Harvesting which began approximately two weeks ago has slowed and much of the crop is still in the fields One of the measurable characteristics' of the new varieties in -the demonstra tion plots is standability of the stalks. With crops high in moisture .content, this characteristic becomes doub ly important since the crop must stand in the field until some of the water has evap orated. Some of the ritew var. ieties tested are standing ex tremely well, even • though the stalks are dead ripe. coJnty'S welT JAMES EAKIN ’ EXTENSION, AGRONOMIST harvested in the demonstra- the Pennsylvania State University, left, records the tion plots indicate that the of corn from one of the demonstration plots on the . 1960 crop may well surpass Richard Hess, Strasburg.
