Increased Corn Yield Is Highly Valuable to Tar Heel Farmers North Carolina's 1947 average corn yield of two bushels per acre over last year would mean nearly eleven million extra dol lars in, Tar Heel farmers' pockets if it was sold at today's price level, according to Director I. O. Schaub of the State College Extension Service. Last year's average yield of 27 7 buiahels per acre brought about' a production of 58,914,000 bu shels, Director Schaub said. With the present forecast of 29 'bush els per acre, on approximately the same acreage, this two bushel per acre increase would mean a production of more than sixty three million bushels. The extra four million bushels of corn, which is expected to be produced this year, could come at no better time, he said, in view of tihe corn shortage in the Midwestern states. Despite the increase in corn' yields, North Carolina | are urged to supplement feeds by producing more forage crops, and hay, and planting more temporary grazing cropa. North Carolina is still a feed-im porting state, and unless farm ers get rid of the laggards in their flocks and herds and make the beet use of land available for producing more feed for their livestock, they may be faced with • serious feed shortage this winter. f SUPPORT THE Y.M.C.A.
