Day's ranch near Gold Kill appeared 1 in a i vi w it i inui vi mi viiyvn (unin, tw S? and is reprinted through the courtesy of that lf''y rmhllratlnn 1 IJ '" By James Brockan Staff Representative, The Oregon Farmer Fifty-six dollars per bushel is a good stiff price to pay for corn. That is the price, how ver, that Ben Day, grower of Wisconsin 525 lybrid com, paid for parent seed stock tor the planting of his six-acre cornfield. That cornfield is on the Valley's End U . lnJrlA IT. wit 13 l-iea.. tee, laXIlVel V W UUKG I U. aVdJ HI nM urn .i-m,. ,.. son ot Judge Day, and for several been operating the family ranch. That the ranch should ever develop into birthplace for new kinds of corn probably would never have occurred to local residents when Judge Day moved on to At that time that particular part of south ern Oregon was essentially a cattle country. For years range livestock and fruit held the center ot the stage, but then, times change and later generations come along with dif ferent ideas. The Day ranch was and is a cattle ranch. A good share of the sizable pear orchard which the ranch also had has recently been removed, however, and a new opportunity for utilization ot the land was thereby opened. At least, it looked that way to Ben. Corn wasn't a new Idea In Neither was hybrid corn a new idea. Growers had read of the magic being performed In the middle west by new strains ot corn bear ing the label "hybrid." They Imported seed of those hybrid varieties and planted it. To their disgust and disappointment, results were no better than with the less highly touted old-line kinds they had been planting with indifferent success. Southern was not a corn country, so long as the stuff grew like a fool and never would mature and dry out. That was what they thought. Ben Day figured It out a little He had studied agriculture at the state col lege. After he had taken over the operation of the ranch he Invested matter of monthi one winter In just hanging around the experi mental plots at Corvallls and talking to the agronomists and farm crops specialists who were working with experimental types there. He discounted the magic of the word "hybrid." He knew that a hybrid was no better than any other variety unless it had been hybridized for a certain set of conditions. He spent long hours learning the character istics of the various hybrids that were being experimentally grown at Corvallls. He kept coming back to one particular hybrid, which had been bred strongly to an early maturing cht racterlstlc. In addition it was a heavy wlelder, had a loose husk which let the ear dry rap idly and made for easy harvest ing and was adapted either to dry or irrigated land. That wss Wisconsin 323, and he made ar rangements with the college to grow certified seed of that varl ety. The college had to have confidence in his knowledge of the principles of agronomy ana confidence in his ability to carry out the long painstaking hours of work required and the hon esty of his effort to maintain r pure strain. There Is more to producing hybrid corn seed than Just plant ing the seed and then harvesting the crop. Ben Day pointed out some of the steps of the process to me as we walked through the field. In the first place, there are four parents for a strain of hybrid corn. The parent seed doesn't look like much, because each parent has been selected for one particular characteristic to the exclusion of all else. One may have been selected for early maturity. It may be wizened. scrubby-looking nubbin, but It will mature weeks or months be fore ordinary corn. Another parent may be bred for deep rooting characteristics, so that the corn stalk can go deep for its moisture and survive where shallower rooted kinds would sr-ivel and perish. Another parent may be bred for yield and another for uniformity of kernel rows, and so on. These four parent varieties are planted and when they reach the tassel stage each pair of them is crossed on the other pair. This produces two strains of corn each containing the inheritance of two parents. So far, thnt work Is all done on the farm of the experiment station which originated the variety. The ex periment station will then r lease the seed at II per pound to qualified growers like Ben Day, who then proceed to plant the two parents and cross them again Into a variety containing the desirable characters of all foul original parents. The two parent varieties are Interplanted by rows. There are four rows of one parent and then one row of the other parent. Then the work begins. As soon as the field approaches the tas sel ing stage the field must be converted into male and female varieties. The variety which u planted In single rows becomes the male and the on which makes up the four rows Is the female. This Is accomplished by removing the tassels from all female stalks, so that they be come Incapable of shedding pol len on the silk of their own ears.

After the field has matured, the Ilrst Joo is to harvest the ears which have grown on the male stalk. They are hauled out of the field and used for feeding purposes. The remaining four-fifths of the rows In the field are harvested for seed purposes, as they are the only ones which have been cross ed in the right direction to give the desired results. That Is what is back of hybrid corn, or course, mere are a number of other qualifications to be filled. The field must be at least a quarter ot a mile from any other corn; the seed must be graded many times tor size; it must be treated; It must be Inspected several times during the growing season; It must pass purity and germination tests, and It must be packaged In new sacks. What about the results? They are good enough that Ben Day believes the answer to southern Oregon's corn problem has been found, although he is still ex perimenting with other varieties. "It Is always dry enough In this locality that we can shell it out and keep It through the winter without showing more than 12V3 to 13V4 per cent moisture," he said. "The loose husk Is so easy U shuck that we can more than save the extra cost of the seed In harvest labor. Our females alone have yielded about two tons of corn to the acre on dry land and they make up only four fifths ot the field.
