Corn populations and tax notes from rural Illinois
Farm adviser Byron Hutchins argues for moderate corn planting populations and notes a 1 bushel gain from raising population from 16 000 to 24 000 in experiments. He cites 176 bushel yields with manure and fertilizer, 15 800 in another trial, and suggests 18 000 harvest population and 20 000 planting kernels as adequate. He recalls Ellis Wheeler's tax talk showing 1961 taxes at 1 billion dollars and state federal transfers, plus county tax use for schools. Rural Free Delivery age, mail practice changes, and an upcoming forage short course with Dick Carlisle on Beef forage feeding are noted.
