More Corn Per Acre Drive Promises Higher Yields
Houston County Extension Agent Ling outlines a push toward higher corn yields using better nitrogen management and denser planting. Farmers cut row widths to about 4,000 plants per acre, apply 16 pounds of nitrogen, and join district demonstrations. The 1950 crop can be hogged for profit under this More Corn Per Acre program with support from the Chamber of Commerce and Extension Service.
