gj— Lancaster Farming. Saturday, Mar. 2. 1974 New Crop Varieties Seed of Penn&tar Kentucky* bluegrass and Pennfine perennial ryegrass, widely acclaimed lawn grasses developed at the Penn sylvania State University, are more readily available now than In previous years. Both are available from commercial seed dealers and some lawn and garden shops. Pennstar Kentucky bluegrass is adapted throughout the bluegrass area of the country, ac cording to Dr. Guy W. McKee, secretary of the Agricultural Experiment Station Seed Committee at Penn State. Seed stocks seem to be good, he added. Pennstar is highly resistant to leafspot, striped smut, and rust. Thickness of established turf is out standing, Dr. McKee said, being consistently dense over the season and from one season to the next. Pennstar was developed by Dr. J. M.

Pennfine does well in mix tures with Kentucky bluegrass. It was developed by Drs. Duich, Herbert Cole, and A. T. Perkins of Penn State. Seed supplies should be better than in previous years. Dr. McKee announced that two new varieties of hybrid corn, released earlier by the Agricultural Experiment Station, are available this year for the first time. The hybrids are Pa 4202, designed for medium length growing seasons, and Pa 8603, a hybrid for long growing seasons. Both are available in very limited quantities from commercial seed companies. Pa 4202 is rated as an excellent grain producer and is slightly earlier in maturity than Pa 444 and Pa 4404, two older hybrids for medium length seasons. It has ex cellent stalk quality and good resistance to yellow, northern, and southern corn leaf blights. Over a-five year testing period, Pa 4202 averaged 131 bushels of shelled corn per acre with a 21 per cent moisture content. The hybrid was developed by Dr. Melvin W. Johnson, com breeder at Penn State. Pa 8603 is slightly earlier than two other long season hybrids, Pa 870 S and Pa 870SL. Pa 8603 is an excellent gram producer with out standing stalk strength. It has superior resistance to yellow, northern, and southern com leaf blights. This hybrid was also developed by Dr. Johnson. In five year trials, Pa 8603 averaged 153 bushels of shelled com per acre with a 25 per cent moisture content. Seed supplies of several other outstanding corn hybrids released earlier by the Agricultural Experiment Weaving Workshop Planned “Primitive Frame Loom Weaving” will be the topic of an all-day workshop con ducted by Mrs. Pat Clearly, a noted area weaver. The workshop session, sponsored by the Lancaster County Extension Service, will be held on Tuesday, March 12th from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Farm and Home Center, Lancaster.

These include Pa 290, an early maturity com for grain and silage; Pa 604, a medium season hybrid; and Pa 8703, Pa 870 S, and Pa 870SL. Seed of two “old faithful” hybrids, Pa 333 and Pa 444, are also available from commercial seedsmen. Pa 333 was released in 1954 and Pa 444 in 1952. These com hybrids were developed by the late Dr. L. L. Huber, Penn State’s first corn breeder. As for other new crops, Lathco flatpea is availbable in extremely limited quantities from seed com panies.
