MIXED HYBRIDS OUT-YIELD STRAIGHT HYBRIDS 
We have had several reports in the last two or three years where the Mixed Hybrids have 
out-yielded the straight hybrids, especially in-a drouth season, There is a reason for this 
inasmuch as the Mixed Hybrids will pollinate over a period of 10 to 12 days whereas the 
straight hybrid will probably shed pollen under good conditions for 5 or 6 days. With the 
terrible heat we have some summers,and hot winds, much of the pollen is ruined, and 
results in a poor set on the ears. The Mixed Hybrid bloom over a longer period and a 
much better set has been secured,
