Farm Adviser's Views on Corn Soybeans and Wheat Health
Agronomists urge early maturing corn varieties for late planting and suggest switching to soybeans such as Harosoy Hawkeye or Adams if planting after July 1. Early grain sorghums like Early Hegari Norghum Reliance and Improved Coes mature in 75 to 90 days and handle heat better. Wheat scab and Septoria head blight are discussed with seed treatment advice and Vermilion as smut resistant. An allotment notice details 1957 wheat acreage eligibility for farms with no wheat in 1955 1956 or 1957 and July 1 1957 deadline.
