(Experimental Farms News)
The importance of the corn crop
in Ontario’s agriculture is well recog
nized. The Ontario corn crop for 1940
produced seven million bushels of
grain and over three million tons of
ensilage, with a total value around
the twelve million dollar mark. The
grain corn area is mainly concentra
ted in the south-western counties.
Essex and Kent counties together
account for one-third of the corn ac
reage of the province. It is in such
concentrated areas that newer ideas
and methods are usually first tried,
and if found satisfactory are most
quickly accepted, says G. F. H. Buck-
ley, Dominion Experimental Station,
Harrow, Ont.
Prior to the year 1939 very little
acreage was planted to hybrid corn.
However, hybrids had geen grown in
tests and demonstration plots for a
few years previous, and corn growers
were showing considerable interest in
the hybrids. By 1939 a few local
growers began producing hybrid seed
on their own farms.. The crossing
stocks for this seed were all imported.
In addition to the home-grown hy
brid seed a considerable quantity of
hybrid seed was brought in from the
United States. A number of the larger
American hybrid seed producers had
their agents thoroughly canvas the
district for sales. The sales were ex
tensive but rarely in large lots. Grow
ers were in the mood to try hybrid
seed on a small scale for comparative
purposes, but 'were unwilling to re
place large acreages of their own
strains of open-pollinated corn. Most
of the growers who planted small trial
lots in 1939 were immediately won
over to the value of hybrid corn. They
planted a considerable acreage in 1940.
By 1941 the demand for hybrid seed
was tremendous, and approximately
seventy-five per cent, of the corn
acreage in Essex ahd^Kent was plant
ed with hybrid seed. The rapid rise
in the use of hybrids throughout the
huskin'g corn area over such a short
period is almost miraculous.
While the use of hybrid corn has
advanced more extensively and more
rapidly in the husking corn area,
advances are being made on other
fronts as well. To the north and east
lies the much larger area, where corn
is grown mainly for ensilage purposes.
Wide-spread tests have been conduct
ed throughout this area, and the hy
brids have definitely shown their
superiority over open-pollinated var
ieties for ensilage purposes. The hy
brids not only yield better, but they
are more upright in growth and are
better able to withstand unfavourable
conditions, such as strong winds and.
. attacks of the corn borer. The use of
hybrid corn in the ensilage area has
not advanced as rapidly as in the
southwestern sections of the province,
but the advance has been steady and
i$ gaining in momentum.
