E. R. Collins, extension agronomist at State College. Collins says that yields of 125 to 140 bushels usually win the district State competition. He explains that only harvested and weighed yields will be accepted for entry in the con test, and that shocked or harvested com cannot be entered. Farmers desiring to enter the con test should be careful that their acre representing agricultural agencies of com is harvested by a committee and businessmen, with a chairman from outside the county. The acre must be measured by a county sur veyor, a licensed surveyor, or a person recommended by the county PMA chairman. Yields above 148 bushels can be dis qualified by the State committee un less a member of the committee is present at the harvest. Certification of any yield may be disqualified for non-compliance in regard to any regu lation. Farmers making an estimated yield may determine the moisture content of their com by sending one pint of shelled corn in a sealed container to Clyde Corriher, Ricks Hall, State Col lege, Raleigh. The North Carolina Foundation Seed Producers, Inc., is making avail able SIOO in bonds to the highest pro ducer on one acre of land in the State.
