County Corn King
Harold Weidner, member of the Brenham FFA, who
lives in the Klump Community, might well be called com
king of Washington County. Harold produced the amaz-
ing amount of 137.7 bushels per acre. To do this, he follow-
ed a rotation program, consisting of sweet clover, cotton
and corn. He also had a soil test made of the soil and fol-
lowed recommendations given. Harold applied 180 pounds
of 15-15-0 at planting time and then side dressed with 100
lbs. of ammonium nitrate per acre when the corn was knee
high. His coat of fertilizer was only 9 cents per busheL
Harold also has two acres of cotton from which he expects
to produce approximately a bale to a bale and a half per
acre. He too finds time to feed out a beef calf for the local
fair and is vice president of his FFA Chapter. (Staff
