Jensen, Extension Agronomist Under favorable conditions, corn is one of the best feed crops that can be grown, ponts out Wallace Sjoblom, county agricultural agri-cultural agent. The silage provides pro-vides a good succulent roughage for winter feeding, and the grain is one of the best concentrates. Many corn varieties or hybrids are on the market. The following follow-ing hybrids have done well in tests throughout the state and are recommended by the Utah State Agricultural College for the various growing conditions. Very early hybrids Kingscrost KS6 or Utahhybrid 330 for upper valleys around 6000 feet elevation. eleva-tion. These are not high yielders. Early Hybrids Kinscrost K7Y or Portwalco 90 for a little lower elevations. These will yield better bet-ter than the very early varieties. Medium season hybrids Ohio C38, Portwalco 100, Utahhybrid 680, Decalb 681, Kow Salad 5 or Ohio C47. These are best for most lower valleys of Utah. The first three have been tested here for five years or more and are excellent yeilders. The last three have been tested in Utah for two years and appear to be very promising.
