PROMINENT YORK COUNTY CORN GROWER BOOSTS ASGROW NEW FULL SEASON SINGLE CROSS Charles A. Trout and his son David, a recent student at Penn State, planted a number of As grow Seed Company’s hybrids this year, at a number of loca tions to see how well they stack ed up against the popular varie ties commonly planted in their part of the state. David check ed yields by hand and then they double checked these findings during combining. Recently, the Asgrow Seed Company acquired the United- Hagie Company which is a lead ing developer of new hybrids in the Corn Belt, The variety, IXL 9, had a terrific performance record in various state and county trials in the mid-west un der an experimental number. It was released last year for field scale plantings After observing it at various locations in his 200 acres of corn acreage, Mr Trout stated, “Asgrow’s IXL 9 is at least as good or better than any full sea son, single cross planted on my farms It stands excellent, ears filled out beautifully, and it really holds the ears. We had some trouble with another top single cross dropping ears be fore we could harvest it. IXL 9 didn’t show this problem. It is a good combiner 1 would cer tainly recommend it to my neighbors My son’s checks showed it to be a high yielder but when we combined it along with the other corns we found IXL 9 to yield higher because it ran heavy at poor spots in the field. I can’t say this about other corns we had planted. It certainly appears well adapted ' to all soil types ” For more information on this Asgrow Hybrid or others call or write either Charles A.
