Agricultural statisticians of Virginia
and North Carolina plan, the .most
extensive corn yield study ever made
. in the two states to settle the Hssue
of who wins the corn production
contest, say officials of the State
College Extension Service and the
North Carolina Department of Agri
culture. "
The corn contest happens to coin
cide with a' new corn yield study
being started under the Research and
Marketing Act. Frank Parker, chief
'of the Federal-State Reporting Ser
vice in North Carolina and leader of
the new project, describes it as the
"first large scale study to get ac
curate measures on corn yields."
"Corn is one crop for which we
have a very poor check on yield,"
Parker says. "For cotton we have
a very good check through the gin
ners. For tobacco, we have a good
check through, the warehouse reports.
But in the case qt corn, so much of
it is fed on the farm, that there is
. reaHy no way to check except to go
to the farm and take a sample."
Accordingly, some 3,000 farms
picked at random in North Carolina
will be visited this fall by "numera
tors" of Mr, Parker's staff. A num
erator will be appointed in each of
the 39 counties that grow corn in
quantity. In most cases, these men
will be local residents qualified to
.take the samples. The samples will be
representative of the State, with a
greater number of samples being tak
en in the, heaviest corn-producing
counties.
The survey will 'begin in the eastern
part of the State about mid-September
and will movfe west as the cron
matures. Numerators will forwardS
their reports to the Institute of Sta
tistics at State College where the
data will be compiled. ,

LOOKING AT
WASHINGTON
(Continued from Page Two)
free peoples in Europe began a year
ago when Britairf, France and the
Benelux countries signed the Brus
sels Pact. At the time, these people
understood that they were not strong
enough to prevent the Russian from
running roughshod over their coun
tries and, consequently, a stronger
combination of nations was required
to balance the overwhelming strength
of Russia.
Such a combination has been
brought together in the North Atlan
tic Pact, which includes most of the
free peoples of the world and tends
to combine their effective fighting
power for a common purpose and a
common defense.
It is very improtant that the
United States, which has ratified the
Pact, should implement it by prompt
ly extending all reasonable militarv
assistance to the nations which hava
joined in a common defense policy.
The details of the arms program can
be well left to the judgment of the
men who head our military establish
ment. They will not approve a pro
gram which will weaken us and the
fact that they endorse the present
DroDOSal is evidence that t.hpv reo-arrl
the Atlantic Pact as an additional
security for the UnitedS tates.
DIVIDENDS BETTER
THAN IN 1948
Cash dividends, publicly reported,
are running somewhat higher than in
1948. accordinar to fitrures of the
Commerce Department which reports
mat dividends of this type constitute
about two-thirds of all dividends paid
in this country.
For the three months ending- Mav
31st, dividends totalled $1,373,300,000.
This was ten per cent above the same
period of 1948. It indicates, according
to the experts, that corporations are
paying out a greater proportion of
their earnings to stockholders than
they did last year.
