Corn demonstrations to continue in 1949 Auburn Alabama
Thickly spaced, highly fertilized corn demonstrations will be continued in 1949 in Alabama. Agronomist J C Lowery says the program is part of a statewide drive to raise average corn yield to 30 bushels per acre. Begun in 1946 with 192 demonstrations, the effort expanded to 6,000 or more in 1948. Initially on one acre, many farmers now apply the plan to their entire corn crops.
