Thursday, February §,
best corn varieties
REPORTED BY STATIOI
That the farmers of North Caro
lina may know how the differen
varieties of corn grown in the state
yield when compared with each other
on the same soil under identical
treatment, the agronomy department
makes variety tests from time to
time. The last five-year period end
ed in 1918. Since that time no
further tests were made until 1926.
In the meantime, however, seed
corn selection and breeding work
has been conducted with the differ
ent varieties by she Cereal Agrono
mist, G. M. Carreii. m ih s inter
val also new breeders of seed corn
have appeared and some of the
older growers made improvements in
their varieties, so the tests were
started again in 1926. For the two
years of 1926-27, there have heen
some changes in the rank of the
varieties as tested on the various
branch station farms. At the moun
tain station, for instance, First Gen
eration Cross No. 182 was first,
Southern Beauty second and Biggs
Prolific third under the five-year
test concluded in 1918. For the past
two years, however. Southern Beau
ty ranks first, Holcombe’s Prolific
third under the five-year test con
cluded! in 1918. For the past two
years, however, Southern Beauty
ranks first, Holcombe’s Prolific sec
ond and Kiser’s Cocke’s Prolific is
third.
At the piedmont station, Southern
Beauty was first, First Generation
Cross was second and Biggs Prolific
was third in the old five-year test.
In the new test, Latham’s Double
is first, First Generation Cross was
second and Southern Beauty was
third under the five year test eon
eluded in 1918. Under the new test,
Latham’s Double is again first, Sou
thern Beauty seconld and Indian
Chief third.
At the .Upper Coastal Plain farm
near RocCy Mount, Latham’s Double
and Briggs Prolific tied for first
place in the last tests made. Ger
ricks Prolific was second and Wil
liams corn was third. '
New York, Jan. 29.—Those per
sons who do not believe there is any
thing in a name should have a talk
with Constance Pappadimitrakopou
los who thinks so highly of his cog
nomen that he will entertain no sugr
gestions that he change it to one of
not mere than five syllables.
“It is a good name. It is the
name my mother gave me,” Pappa
dimitrakopoulos declared when, upon;
applying in Federal Court for na
turalization papers, the Clerk of the*
Court suggested that he ought to
Americanize his nomeclature by
clipping off a few svllables —infer-
ring that a name with so many sy
llables offered unlimited possibili
ties for canversion into a really at
tractive name.
“It is my name. I’ll stick to it,”
Pappadimitrakopoulos said. He re
lated that he was bo>*n, at Patras.
Greece, on St. Patrick’s dav, 1883,
and came to the United States in
1910.
