Shares Rise as Efficient Soil Management Supports Yields
In a drought year, farmers using soil rotation with well-fertilized legumes show higher corn yields. P. E. Johnson of the University of Illinois cites 1953 data: 14 bushels per acre on 4-year rotations with alfalfa and clovers, 47 with 3-year corn soybeans, and 59 on corn soybeans wheat with alfalfa. Added nitrogen had limited effect. four-year rotations and legume hay improve organic matter, drainage, and soil structure, boosting subsequent corn yields. The market news notes a stock surge amid a broad advance, with volume heavy and indices near highs.

Arrival Of Chinch Bugs In Madison County Fields
County Agent W C Haynes reports chinch bugs in the southwest Madison County area. The red insects shift to black and white, migrate from rye or wheat to nearby corn in hot dry weather. Creosote barriers and dust mulches are advised before migration, with a ¼ mile barrier costing about 1/4 gallon drum of creosote per segment. Dieldrin spray is recommended as a barrier before migration, applied late June or early July, with follow up if needed. Continued cultivation may help after bugs enter corn.
