State Moves To Up
Average Corn Yield
Seeking- to lift the state from the
20-bushel class in corn production?
the lowly avenge maintained by
North Carolina for the past 39
yean ? farmers and certified seed
producers are mapping active plans
to use increased qusntitiee of quali
ty seed end more top dressing on the
1946 crops, it was announced by Dr.
I. O. Schaub, Director of the State
College Extension Service.
One of the first counties to take an
active step toward increased corn
yields this year is Beaufort where
County Agent W. L. McGahey has
announced the forming of a "8 to 1
Com Club," members of which will
strive to produce three times as much
com as the county average. Bean
fort County's average com yield for
the past 30 yean has been about 21
busheis per acre. If only a relatively
low percentage of the approximately
800 growers in the county join the
club, McGahey feels that there is a
good chance to increase the overall
coimty yield by 10 bushels per acre
this year. At a dollar a bushel on
the county's average planted acreage
of 44,000, the increased cash return
would be 3440,000, enough to more
than pay fanner taxeB. Members of
the club who attain the objective will
reward them selves through the sim
ple expedient of increased yields, the
county agent observed.
McGahey recommends that com be
fertilised to "fit the soil conditions
and past cropping history, using 400
to 500 pounds of a high grade fer
tilizer, 6-8-6 or 5-7-6, per acre."
Three hundred to 400 pounds of ni
trate of soda at last cultivation is
recommended. Peat soils should get
a 2-12-12 fertilizer.
It is only in undeveloped territory
that land is available at prices which
potential new farmers with little
capital could afford to pay.
11m rood neighbor policy is n
to give seme concrete results
to his native Venesula to become
county agent after a year's training
in North Carolina. He was one of
eleven college graduates who were
chosen from more than 800 leading
Venesulan for studv and
tteining in tea United States.
First he studied the organization
of tee Extension Service at State
College and then he spent five months
on tee dairy term of L H. McKay
near Henderaonvilie, doing all kinds
of dairy and term work under the
direction of Mr. McKay. During
September and October he worked on
a term in Benton Comity, Indiana,
studying hybrid corn.
In recent months Andy was in Un
ion County under the direction of
Veteran County Agent T. J. W.
Broom and his assistants, W. Z.
Smith and N. B. Nioholson. While
there Andy made a special study of
4-H club work and the general crops
and livestock grown in that section.
He attended the National 4-H Club
Congress in Chicago in December and
while in Union met with all of the
4-H dube in the comity, discussing
the work with the boys and girls and
telling them about agriculture and
customs in Venecuia.
"Andy should make an exception
ally good county agent in Venexula
because he is smart, quiet, end will
ing to work," says Smith. "He likes
North Carolina and its people very
much and expressed the hope when
he left us an January 26 that he
would be able to come back to see us
some time. Our best wishes go with
Andy in his work back home."
CCC loan cotton from the 1944
crop will be placed in pools for liqui
dation on July 1, 1946.
Agricultural leaders are seeking- to
discourage the feeding of wheat to
cattle daring the 1946 grain shortage.
Lt Gov. L. Y. Barantine of Varina,
a dairy farmer, is president oi the
North Carolina Jersey Cattle Club.
North Carolina fanners are seek
ing to have Congress consider labor
costs in setting parity prices for all
crope.

interesting due to the fact that a
dead Myrtle Warbler waft found and
could be examined and compared to
the description.
This very small bird is only five
and a half inches long. Its upper
parte in winter are grayish brown,
the underparts, brownish white with
black streaks. The bill is shorter
than the head, black, slender, taper
ing gradually to the tip. The wings
an Mack, long and pointed with gray
edgings. The tail is also black mar
gined with alate gray.
The color contrasts hi the plumage
of the Myitis Warbler, its very wide
distribution and the fact that it is
often a whiter resident in New York
and New England make it one of the
least known members of its species.
The triangular patch of bright yel
low which la very conspicuous Just
above the bird's tail serves aa a
positive identification. The crown la
lemon yellow and there la a patch of
yellow on each side of the breast.
The nest, usually built in a coni
ferous tree and only a few feet up, is
bulky and carelessly built of vege
table fibers, old leaves, small spruce
and hemlock twigs. It Is lined with
hair, small roots and some feathers.
The three to five eggs ere dull white
or creamy speckled and blotched with
shades of chestnut, brown end lilac
grey.
It takes its name from its manifest
fondness for myrtle berries and is
very likely to be found wherever that
fruit is plentiful. Suet is a delicacy
it also cares for and if put out on
the feeding tray will make thi3 bird
a frequent visitor.
