Farm Field Day Highlights Soybean and Wheat Yields Increase
Scott County farm audience of 150 plus from eleven Southeast Missouri counties gathered at the Sikeston Experiment Field on June 6. J R Paulling noted lime and legume boosts for corn and cotton, including 13.8 more corn per acre and 105 pounds more cotton when vetch followed cotton with no lime, plus 46.8 total corn bushels and 1812 pounds more cotton with two tons of limestone. Wheat gains from lime and sweet clover rose to 25 bushels per acre, while two tons of lime raised wheat to 26.38 and lespedera to 2317 pounds per acre. Paulling urged lime and legumes together. Clarkan, Michigan Wonder, and Fulcaster wheats were highlighted. The Sikeston field, about 60 acres, is a key outlying experimental site for the College.
