Cornerstone Update > Finally the weather co-operates an evening rainfall yesterday is followed by another hot humid day. The Corn Heat Units are piling up the last few days with warm nights.

The plants have responded nicely as gains on some of them are now 5 and 6" per day. There are still a few troublesome plants like the 1446 Werner that just can't seam to get rolling as the fruit on it that (Nutty x 752*, July 4) gained only 2" compared to the 6" gain on (Xray x 752*, July 5) the 898 Knauss fruit yesterday.

Pictured is the cull from the 898 Knauss set behind a jack-o-latern plant. The cull was (Fatso x 998, July 3)older than the keeper fruit Xray on the main vine and had poor positioning on the 1st north side vine.
