 leading varieties of corn were compared for two and three

In every case the native seed gave best results. 



In another experiment conducted with farmers in western 

 Nebraska, it was found that native-grown seed gave better 

 results than seed grown in eastern Nebraska. * Rainfall in 

 the western part of the State is very low, averaging about 

 18 inches annually, while the rainfall is about 30 inches 

 in eastern Nebraska. To succeed in the West corn must 

 be adapted to drought resistance.
