Many fleece lined. 50c to $1.25 (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. tw $ JI LINGERIE >■•♦••• » • 0 * ► (All Hose Boxed For Christmas Gifts) Orient Silk Hose are the Gift De Luxe this year.
