Winter, a sophomore in the Allendale High School won third highest corn yield with his corn project entered in the Pioneer Hi-Yield Corn Growing Contest limited exclusively to vocational agriculture students with a fine yield of 142.8 bushels per acre. Charles is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Winter who farms 210 acres near Allendale. D. R. Davidson is the vocational agriculture teacher at Allendale. Here is Charles' own story of his corn project: As a part of my farming program, I planted side by side all of the two Pioneer samples which the Pioneer Seed Company sent me next to another hybrid in the same field on our farm. These hybrids were planted on May 18. The soil was in ideal planting condition. The seedbed was prepared as follows: The ground was disked three times before plowing and then plowed to a depth of eight inches, next the ground was disked lengthwise two times and then disked twice crosswise, then the soil was harrowed two times. Following this operation the corn was drilled with a two-row corn planter. The ground had been in permanent pasture since 1922. In 1943 three tons of lime was applied to the acre. Manure was applied to this field every year for the past six to eight years. This year 500 pounds of super-phosphate was applied per acre. At planting time 150 pounds of 2-12-6 was applied to the acre. When the corn was three inches tall it was rolled with a corrugated roller. The corn was cultivated just one time, then laid by. I plan to have a corn project next year along with my other projects and plant some more of Pioneer 313 hybrid corn. It is sure a good quality, high-yielding corn.
