NORTH CAROLINA CORN CROP The State’s Principal Crop.--The Damage by Fodder Pulling. That com is the principal crop in North Carolina is not realized by many of us. It occupies one-third of all the acreage cultivated in this state. It not only furnishes our principal grain crop, which was worth $72,000,- 000 last year but it is the source of a main forage crop; namely, tops and fodder, worth $18,000,000. Another pe culiarity of com is that it permits of a large number of companion crops being grown with it. The mere value of the grain, therefore, does not end the story. 1 The corn fodder is what this story concerns. More than three-fourths of the corn acreage has either tops or fodder taken from it .It is estimated (that fodder and tops yield 60 pounds per acre. From 10,900,000 acres so harvested 600,000 tons should be 2 made. While estimated higher, even at $30.00 pr ton this forage would have a $18,000,000 value. This year’s hay crop is expected to make 770,000 tons, averaging s2l in value. This would give a total value of $16,200,000. According to this, the fodder crop is worth considerably more than all of the hays combined The question is whether the fodder crop or the hay crop is really the - more valuable. This year’s com may average about P 16 bushels per acre, which is much i less than last year. Realizing the > shortage by the poor com and hay [ crops, farmers are stripping more of ► their com acreage than usual for leaf j fodder. Incidentally, they are pulling ; it greener or at a more premature > stage than is usually done, j It has been proven that when fodder 1 I is pulled, the loss is from 10 to 15 per [ cent in grain, the loss depending upon ► the stage at which the fodder is ' pulled. This year’s fodder pulling is ■ i going to cause an unusually heavy > loss in the grain yield, due to the ► fact that when the green leaves are j stripped from stalks having inmature > ears the development of the grain in » stantly ceases, causing the grain to \ shrivel up and to be loose on the cob. > That most ears are small and unde > veloped this year may be observed by j any one looking at the average stripp | ed corn field. J Our com crop is expected to yield > only 40,000,000 bushels, or 30 per cent [ less than last year. At $1.25 per bush 'el farm price, $50,000,000 is this year’s value. The fodder crop will, therefore, be worth more than one third that of grain. Recognized au thorities believe that this year’s corn crop would have yielded perhaps 20 per cent more grain had none of the fodder been pulled. This shows a grain loss of $10,000,000 and leaves a net value of $8,000,000 for the fodder, or $16.00 per ton and $5.00 per acre. The question; is whether fod der is not expensive at this rate in consideration of the labor difficulties of harvesting, stacking, etc. Wouldn’t hay be better? It offers more feed ing value than fodder and takes less labor. . Cooprating Crop Reporting Service, * Raleigh, N. C. Frank Parker, State Agriculture Statistician. news. Miss Olivia Harmon left last week for Orange county, where she will teach English in the Cedar Grove con solidated high school this year . Mr. and Mrs. Paul Thomas and lit tle son Joseph, of Raleigh, are spend ing a few days with Mr. Thomas’ pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Clayton and ba by, of Roxboro, spent the week-end with Mrs. Clayton’s grandfather, Mr. J. E. Harmon. They also made short visits to other relatives and friends in Pittsboro. This makes two rainy Sundays in succession. It seems that the rain cuts our average down at Sunday school. There were not enough people there last Sunday to have Sunday School. It did not rain very much either, but those who were present enjoyed sing ing the Sunday school songs and the fellowship with each other. So, if the weather is unfavorable next Sunday morning, why not cloth! yourself well « and g° to Sunday School? You will better by it ,and the day will not >4 seem so long.
