PER: ACRE | 
Above is shown David R. Bagley, Jr., who has just un- 
veiled the yield on the six seed rows of a 2 acre Experi- 
mental Plot of Bagley No. 26 Texas Hybrid Corn in the 
Bagley Genetic Gardens at Martindale. This photo was 
taken on August 15th when some 300 farmers visited the 
Bagley Breeding Farms on “Cotton and Corn Day” and 
there were many guessing at the wonderful yield on this 
particular patch of corn. When young Bagley removed 
the cover and revealed the harvested production of 137.4 
bushels per acre, all growers present were highly elated 
over this fine yield and agreed that high production can 
be obtained in Texas when good seed are used and special 
methods employed. 
Numerous experiments ate carried on each year in the 
Bagley Genetic Gardens and this plot of corn was purely 
an experiment. It was planted in foundation seed of No. 
26 Texas Hybrid which produces the commercial seed 
supplied to Bagley customers. Stalks were spaced 10”

& Sons, Martindale, Texas.
