16—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday. August 26, 1961 • Youth Aims (From page 1) field lies at the bottom of a long senes of contour stops, Richard felt he might have enough water for the big yield he was going for. He plowed down 1,200 lbs. of ammonium nitrate and a like amount of the super phosphate on his plot of slightly over an acre. He worked the soil down and planted the com on 40- inch rows drilling in 200 pounds of 0-20-20 fertilizer to get the corn oft to a good start He calibrated the corn planted and found it would not put on the rate of seed he knew he needed for his stand He wanted the stalks on the row to be only about four inches apart, but since the planter would space the grain only about eight inches apart, he double drilled the grains to get about 21,000 plant population. Richard cultivated the corn twice, but with the fre quent rains of the summer he found he was having some weed problem The moisture promoted dense growth of corn which caused spindly growth of what weeds did survive the cultivation, but some of the'corn stalks tend ed to become spindly in the fight for sunlight also Richard, the son of Mr. and Mrs Carson Geyer, does not yet know if he will reach his goal of 200 bushels per acre In fact he has not yet decided if he will harvest crop for gram If the mois ture situation does not im prove in the next two or three weeks, and it looks as though the corn may not fill out good ears, the crop may be put in the silo and a rec ord yield planned for anoth er year. Richard has not pinned all his hopes on the corn crop His supervised farming pro gram includes, in addition to the corn, a dairy heifer and 3,000 broilers which he rais es in batches of 1,000 head each. If he does not make his goal, Richard feels he has learned much about corn production, and he will be anxious to try again.
