Just how many acres ire devoted to the crop in these ields this year is hard to deternine. Only about half the usual pace is being used, however, be:ause many of the corn growers ire engaged in the mill and voods operation of the Waccanaw' Lumber Corporation. A reporter visited these fields Monday and while standing upon l nile nf cobs where thousands if bushels of corn were shucked ast year surveyed a single field ?or a single section of a field ?growing nearly four hundred icres. This field is under cultivation jy Jim Smith, the father of hirteen children, and he says that corn growing in these fields s very profitable, because no fertilizer is necessary to grow wonierfui yields. This soil usually yields about 50 bus'ieis of shelled corn to the acre, he said, but stated further that last year the crop was not as good as in years preceding.
