Excellent Year To Harvest Seed From Native Grasses
Guidance for harvesting native grass seeds notes machine settings, field adjustments, and handling. It warns of high moisture content and foreign matter, recommends drying and recleaning, and stresses seed tests for pricing. Mixed bluestem purity and germination ranges are given, with germination starting at zero for six months before improving.
Referendum For Corn Growers Seeks Franklin County Vote
Franklin County residents who produced or were entitled to share in the 1958 corn crop are eligible to vote in a November 25 referendum announced by Gordon Barnes of the County ASC office. Eligible voters include operators and certain tenants and landlords under specific conditions, plus those with 1858 allotments, those who planted but did not harvest in 1958, and those who placed allotment land in Soil Bank. The vote will decide if the 1959 program should shift to a new system without acreage allotments and with different price support rules.
