He said rent control nor applies to all rental housing units which were*, previously de-con- [trolled because they were not rented for any successive 24-month, period between Feb. 1, 1945 and March 30, 1948. "Landlords have until April 30 to register any of these units which were never under rent control," said Nicholson. "Units previously registered need not be re-registered, but the owners are advised to show the registration statements to thee present tenant. "Landlords cannot charge more than the maximum rent shown in the registration statement, plus or minus approved adjustments" Assistance in preparing registration statements will be given landlords at the rent office, the rent official said. He added that regis- I tration forms will be mailed out ! on written or phoned request. j Also re-controlled, said Nn holson. are all accomodations which were de-controlled because a 1W47 voluntary rent-increase lease was terminated prior to April 1, 194S. ' "These are now re-controlled; at their old lease rent and the j landlord must file a report of! I termination statement with the j rent office by April 15, unless lib ! j has 'previously filed such a re | port," he advised, j "Accommodations covered by |leases which expired' or terminated on or after April 1, 1948, i hate been and still are subject to : rent control." I j Trailers and trailer spaces J which on April 1, 1949, were not | used exclusively for transient. oc-. . cupancy aj*e again subject to rent I | control, the rent official said. | I .A trailer or trailer space is con-j ! sidered to have been used ex-1 i clusively for transient occupancy 1 ! on April 1 if it was rented on a 1 daily basis to a tenant and then only if the tenant had not been in | continuous occupancy since March j 1, 1949. | Hereafter, rents or fees for in- j creased services on re-controlled ; units may be charged only on J order of the" rent director. I "The rental rate for re-controlled trailer accommodations will be the last maximum rent in effect under federal rent control, which was not later than Jan. 4, 1948," Nicholson explained. "Any trailer unit which did not have a maximum rent in effect on or before Jan. 4, 1948, must be registered with the rent office by April 30, 1949, at the rent first charged after January 4, 4948." Two "hundred bushels of corn an acre will be an ordinary yield within the next twenty years or less, even though 100 bushels an acre is generally considered a good yield now. "We can double and triple our present yields," says A. L. Lang, Illinois College of Agriculture agronomist, "because plant breeders will produce higher yielding strains of hybrid corn. It's a sure thing." Lang pointed out that from 1910 to 1932 open-pollinated corn was grown on 924 plots on various University of Illinois experiment fields scattered all over the state. Only six plots produced 100 bushels of corn an acre in those twenty-two years. In comparison, these same plots have averaged 100 , bushels or more an acre for the past seven years in a row. Hybrid corn has been used. For the state, corn yields averaged aroaal tkirtr. acre from llCStaM early lMTs, Lane's rudrds show. Then by* brtd flora aunt in. Mid yields jumped to around fifty bushels an acre within a few years. Last year's average yield was sixty-one bushels an acre, an all-time high. Lang says higher yielding hybrids are partly responsible tar the huge Increases in corn yields. But much, more important are | good Soil management practices. I "Every farmer can test his soil; apply lime phosphate and fertilizer as needed, and plow down plenty of soil-building legumes," Lang declared. "Farmers who follow this practical soil improvement program will be putting enough fertility into the land in the long run so that it will produce 200-bushel corn when such a high yielding hybrid is developed."
