Bockhop of the lowa Agricultural Experiment Station. These scientists -conducted a senes of tests to evaluate the operation of tillage tools in terms of changes in soil con dition They followed typical procedures used -by farmers —plowing 6 to 8 inches deep, and operating implements at 4 miles per hour The tests were made on Colo silt loam and two complex soils Clanon-Webster and Glenco- Webster which if -well drained are representative of productive, desirable soils for farming. Disking and harrowing af ter plowing usually failed to break up clods one of the main objectives of these oper ations clod size was not significantly reduced m six out of seven experiments. Tillage after plowing often failed to reduce soil density (compactness). In fact, disking and harrowing immediately after fall plowing actually compacted the soil.

It has not been Choice corn... choice beef same time you can select P-A-G varieties with the ability to produce outstanding yields. The profit or loss of your farm may well depend on the efficiency of your corn growing program. -”'C‘ The seed you select will be a key decision. You can increase yields by selecting corn varieties bred to meet the specific requirements of your farming operation. P-A-G offers 49 varieties to choose from. Many of these are adapted to your area. All have spelled-out character istics so you can meet your needs, exactly. For instance: there are P-A-G varieties noted for their big yields of grain. Cobs are thin and full of deep rich kernels. Ears are low on the stalk... ideal for mechanical picking and shelling. Then, there are corns recommended for silage. They grow tall and leafy, produce a good ear, furnish extra tons of total digestible nutrients. In addition, you can choose P-A-G corns proved for high population planting ... corns with a high degree of disease and insect resistance ... varieties noted for ex ceptional standabilhy . . . even select for ear height, husking ease, and drying characteristics . . . and of course, a wide range of maturities lets you plan an effi cient progressive harvest. The 49 varieties P-A-G now offers are the best from over 20,000 crosses developed and tested during the past 21 years. All 49 are modern, up-to-date corns with the proved performance to increase your farm profits. ■/ *»* mf Your P-A-G seed corn supplier can help you choose the varieties with the right combination of special character istics to meet your yield and profit goals.
