quent cuttings every 35 days.
Sound fertility is very essen
tial to maintaining high yield
over a period of time With
improper fertility, juelds start
out lower and decline immedi
ately in comparison to properly
fertilized alfalfa
Some new alfalfa varieties are
being developed which have good
potential in this aiea, he said.
Baylor said the control of in
sects is particularly important
to the alfalfa crop during the
growth of the second cutting.
Any stress on the crop during
the second cutting can spell
trouble for the alfalfa stand, he
said.

Your Trojan Dealer Wants To Ask You
Some Questions
’ - Which seed corn company has the largest supply of northern produced seed?
TROJAN
What’s the only major seed corn company that didn’t jack up its seed corn
prices . . . even on normal cytoplasm seed?
Which seed company is guaranteeing 95% germination, or better, on 97% of
all seed sold?
Which company is staying away from F 2 or second generation seed, flint
corn seed, foreign produced seed . . . because it knows that none of these
seeds can match the overall performance of top quality, hybrid seed?
What major seed corn company isn’t selling blended seed because it doesn’t
haye to mix seed to restore fertility, jack up germination, or sell outdated
hybrids?
Pretty good reasons for contacting your Trojan
dealer, don’t you think?

Baylor thinks one of the big
gest problems for yield and crop
persistence is the potato leaf
hopper It moves into the Coun
ty in June and hits new stedings
at 8 to 12 inches tall and it also
attacks the second growth on
established stands The hopper
can have senous consequences
for both the yield and quality
Bayloi doesn’t think the weevil
is a serious problem at this time
Baylor urged the harvesting of
the hay crop as wilted hay silage
at about 60 per cent moisture
The wilted silage is lighter, eas
ier to handle and cows like it,
he said.
Speaking on some of the fac
tors leading to com yield re-

mist, said that some of the fields
which showed serious blight da
mage last year really were hurt
fiom improper use of chemicals
Chemical damage slowed down
plant growth and made the crop
susceptible to tne blight late in
the season, he explained
Improper rates of fertilizer
can also introduce stalk lots and
blights, he said.
To avoid blights this year he
warned farmers to plant early
He also urged use of hybrids
which show resistance to blight,
