Green County Hosts Free Polio Gamma Globulin Drive
Green County plans a countywide free gamma globulin immunization for children under 16 Aug 9 to 11. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis funds the gamma globulin. Green County Polio Chapter and Green County Medical Society organize and staff the effort with doctors, volunteers, and donor support. The program, only countywide one in Wisconsin this year, requires advance registration through a local physician, and aims to curb polio’s crippling effects with minimal demand on local services.

New Strain May End Detasseling In Wisconsin Seed Corn
Wisconsin corn breeder N P Neal reports two male sterile strains W464AM s and W525Am s released by the university. A limited number of certified seed growers test the system this year, potentially cutting detasseling costs and simplifying hybrid seed production. The approach uses male sterile seed parents that do not produce pollen, avoiding self fertilization and detasseling. Seed produced will yield male sterile hybrids, with normal hybrids supplying pollen on the field. Fertility restorer lines may later allow final crosses to use pollen parents, reducing need for mixed seed. Availability for 1955 plantings hinges on current season results and further research.
