Clem Johnson Produced
78 Bushels Corn 1 Acre
By WALTER T. McPHERSON
Assistant County Agent
Clem Johnson of Route 2, Benson
and a member of the Meadow Senior
4-H Club produced 78 bushels of com
on a one acre plot. This corn was one
of Clem’s 4-H Club Projects. He
planted N. C. 27 H.ybrid Com. The
^ only fault that he finds with the
hybrid com is that it falls down more
so than the old open-pollinated varie
ties ,but this is due mainly to the
; close spacing in the rows,
i This yield of 78 bushels is not as
j much as Clem produced last year
with his 4-H nroject when he made
92 bushels. The reason for his re
duction this year is due mainly to the
drought in this section in June and
early July.
