...Beltsville substance is so new to chemists that it has not yet been analyzed or even named. But it is a major discovery in basic knowledge, may lead to bigger crops grown faster, and to control over harvesting times.

...Farmer John Landers, 38, who owns 400 acres near Grand Ridge, opened wide the throttle of his big International tractor and roared into a 20-acre cornfield. The three heads on his $2,400 corn picker attacked the tall standing rows of corn. Long before Farmer Landers had made even one turn around the field, the trailer hitched to his tractor was overflowing with fat, golden ears. His expected yield: 90 bu. to the acre, v. less than 60 last year...
