SISTER PRODUCES MORE CORN LEXINGTON, Ky.—The 4-H boy who had a record corn yield in 1951 didn’t do as well as his sister this year. Cledith Rowe of Magoffin County produced 145 bushels of corn on an acre in 1952 while his sister Lulu grew 151.5 bushels. County agent Pritchard King of the University of Kentucky says Cledith may have planted his corn too thick which probably caused it to suffer more from the drought. Brother and sister fertilized their corn heavily which also helps resist drought. King says. Cledith produced 233 bushels of corn on an acre for last year’s records.
