Seed Quality Affects Yield
Erie county agent Gale Mullen notes reduced yields of about five bushels per acre when using shriveled low weight seed wheat. A 1949 1950 Kansas State study with Pawnee and Wichita varieties compared seed testing 59 62 pounds per bushel to 44 53 pounds. Higher test weight seed produced greater yields, though germination was similar. lighter seed showed slower emergence and weaker plants, suggesting farmers should buy new seed wheat if test weight is well below normal.

Color Signals for Peaches in 1957 Crop Outlook
Erie reports the 1957 peach crop should be above average with fruit from Kansas and nearby states. Buy peaches by looks but judge the ground color as well. Creamy yellow ground indicates ripening potential while green ground means they will not ripen after picking. Handle gently and let partly ripe fruit mellow at room temperature before refrigerating ripe peaches.

Placement Aids Corn Fertilizer for Young Seedlings
Purdue agronomist Dr. A J Ohirogge says starter fertilizer should be placed in a band one to two inches beside and one to two inches below the seed to reach corn roots. A single band of nitrogen and phosphate boosts early root development, with optional potash. New planter attachments make this placement easier, replacing split boots. Broadcast and plow down applications build overall soil fertility for the season.
