Corn Responds Well
To Potash In Test
Bigger and better yields of corn
UV welcomed by ever) farmer EL
C. Blair, extension agronomist of N
C. State College, passes along the
results of a farm demonstration in
Bertie County which shows the value j
of potash in raising the yield and j
quality of corn.
W. W Mizelle. of Green's Cross,
cooperated with B E Grant. Bertie
County farm agent, in testing the *
response of corn to potash He .fer I
tilized a field of corn with 300 j
pounds per acre of a 3-8-3 fertilizer i
before planting He left one plat!
without any additional fertilizer On
a second plant he side-dressed the
com with 200 pounds of nitrate of
soda when the corn was laid by. On
the third plat he side-dressed with
200 pounds of nitrate of soda and
50 pounds of muriate of potash per
acre at laying-by time
Blan says that the plat which was
side-dressed with soda and potash
yielded 39 1 bushels of corn per acre
The plat which received only ni
trate of soda as a side-dressing pro
duced 24.2 bushels per acre, and
the check plot where no additional
fertilizer was applied yielded 24 7
bushels of corn per acre
"The season was dry for several
weeks before the corn was laid by."
~the Hgnnrtini't explained "and the
cam suffered severely from the
drought. When it did rain, a hard
wind preceded the rain More corn
was blown down in plats Nos. 1 and
2 than in the plat where the potash j
was applied. The potash plat had j
stronger stalks and bettor developed |
ears."
Blair further reported that soy - I
beans sown in the corn at the last j
cultivation did better in the potash
plat
AAA Committees
Must Cive Okch
An important announcement to
farmers by E Y Floyd. AAA ex
ecutive officer of N C. State College,
points out that "several of the soil
building practices under the 1941
Agricultural Conservation Program
require prior approval by the eoun- !
tv AAA committee before credit will J
be given."
"These include a, number of prac-1
tices which farmers will be carrying
out mostly during the next few j
months," Floyd stated "Among these i
are: Contour strip-cropping, forest j
stand improvement, apple tree re- ?
moval. and fruit or nut tree planting i
on contour "
Before credit can be given for such
practices, the AAA leader said, the
prior approval of the county AAA
committee must be obtained in
writing, with one copy going to the
producer and one copy tiled in the
compliance envelope for the farm
The written approval will include
instructions for carrying out the
practice in accordance with the
Triple-A regulations
AAA supervisors or representa
tives of the county committee will
determine whether the practice has
been carried out in accordance with
the instructions and specifications
The county committee may elect to
have thu county agent, assistant
agent, or a vocational teacher to act
as the committee's representative.
Floyd also called attention to the |
terracing specifications under the
1941 program. In all cases where the
terraces are not constructed by a
county terracing unit, the producer
will be required to present evidence
that the terraces have been built at
cording to standard requirements
and have been laid out by either a
representative oi tne extension strv
ice, a representative of the Soil Con
servation Service, or a vocational
teacher
