Diseased com specimens from all corn-producing areas of the country must be collected, cataloged and diagnosed and the disease-causing pathogens evaluated. Dekalb research, production and sales per sonnel collect vast numbers of diseased com specimens in a predetermined scientific manner and immediately send them to com pathology laboratories.

Genetic stocks are comprised of uniform lines of com that have known reactions to many diseases. They range from ex ceptionally susceptable to others. At seven of the 22 locations second plantings were used to determine frequency of occurrence of various com pathogens and to confirm results from first plantings. Plots at each location were observed and sampled at least five times during the growing season. Sampling dates coincide with the relative maturity of the surrounding com crop. They are: knee-high, mid-silk, two weeks after mid-silk, four weeks after mid-silk and harvest. The first sampling can detect the presence of seedling blights or wilts. The next three samplings can detect the presence and increasing frequency of leaf diseases. The final sampling Starting at 10 A.M. Exe. Joe H. Waltmon & Lois Holzworth Tent-Lunch can detect the presence of stalk and ear rots. Smith explains that specimens are cataloged and diagnosed in laboratories under controlled conditions with specialized equipment. "This is where we identify the causal pathogen iteself,” he say. “Then we can take appropriate action.” The Promise of Hybrid Wheat Hybrid wheat is fast coming of age. “Our research staff is coming up with some real promising hybrids,” says Dr. James Wilson, director of Dekalb wheat research. “This fall we are releasing seven new hybrids for Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Texas. We now have hybrids that are adapted to 50 per cent of the wheat acreage in Kansas. That’s six million acres.” Dekalb has been marketing hybrid wheat since the summer of 1972. One strain is adapted to the hard red winter wheat area of Montana. Two others are marketed in Oklahoma and Texas. None have yet been developed for the Nor theastern areas of the U.S. “Hybrid vigor is really showing up in our field trials. The hybrids germinate fast and continue that growing pace all season,” reports Wilson. During 1973 the company released its first dual purpose hybrids developed for both grazing and grain, in Texas and Oklahoma. “Our SPECIAL FALL FEEDER SALES Friday Evenings At 7:00 September 27 October II and 25 All-Charolais Show & Sale October 18 November 8, 15 and 22 VINTAGE SALES STABLES INC.

Couples to Compete For Grange Award The Pennsylvania State Grange’s young married couple of the year - to reign for 1974-1975 - will be crowned Saturday, Sep tember 21, at ceremonies to be held at Edgewater Acres, near Huntingdon. The crowning will climax the fifth annual Grange conference for young married persons to be held dual-purpose hybrids are bred to produce lush forage during the cool season as well as excellent grain yields in the summer,” says Wilson. “Under grazing pressure these two hybrids perform very well, and have enough vigor left after the grazing operation to go ahead and produce excellent grain yields,” he adds. “In addition to their in creased productive characteristics, hybrids have also consistently shown the ability to increase the protein content in grain over other wheats when grown under identical conditions. Differences seem to vary with the nitrogen availability in the soil as one would ex pect, however, the capacity to increase protein content while increasing yield is a new phenomenon to the wheat farmer,” Wilson concludes. Lancaster Farming. Saturday. Sept. 21.1974 September 20, 21 and 22, at Edgewater Acres, according to A. Wayne Readinger, state Grange master. Twenty couples will attend the conference and three will compete for the 1974-75 honor, according to Mr. and Mrs. John Master, chairmen of the Grange’s young married couples committee.
