be some very high yields We wont match our last years record though One hundred eighty eight bushels is awfully hard to beat Our records show more heat units this year than last but this is more than

practical way to stop borers Spray ing would bo both difficult and expensive and we can do without the residue hazard too These insects winter over in corn stalks as larvae and change to pupae in the
