The Summer and Fall seasons of 1949 were among 
the most unusual in the history of Northeastern U. 8. 
Farm Country. Despite the drought during the sum- 
mer, frosts held off until well into October. Conse- 
quently, corn matured exceptionally well for silage 
and grain. 
Many of the early hybrids were nearly dry 
enough to shell and many of the late ones produced 
corn which is keeping remarkably well. Yes, 1949 was 
a wonderful year. We hope Mother Nature will be as 
bountiful in 1950. It’s just good business though, not 
to trust too much to luck in matters of farming. Good 
seed helps make good crops. That’s why it pays you 
to plant the early hybrids for grain, (#335 and #855). 
Then, to increase your yield, plan to use the next 
maturing group (29-3, Dual Purpose and Ohio M-15 
hybrids) for silage and possibly for grain after your 
silos are filled.
