I—lfeCTioit fwO PAGE SIX QfQfc around the farms! »slnv CHOWAN COUNTY I By c. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agent *Low Moisture Corn: As Cho ufen County farmers prepare to hjftvest one of the best corn cfaps on record, we urge them td take every step necessary to kLp the quality high. yVe’ve been criticized in the p<st. Buyers, and especially fieign buyers, say the quality of; our corn has been dropping. Tney blame our quality drop on early harvesting and handling npfethods. jro remedy the criticism, a’ lilt of suggestions for Chowan County corn producers is pre setted: fFirst, we must delay harvest-] itlg until corn reaches a mois-i tore level that will permit es- | f&ient operation of harvesting i aftd drying equipment. Jwhen corn is harvested with ffeid-shelling equipment at mois tsre levels above 18 per cent, the chances of mechanical dam age increases as moisture rises. UfeDA recommends against field I shelling when moisture is above I 3* to 28 per cent, whenever pos-i sibie. iWe predict that price ad van-! tfige for early harvested corn! tSat has existed in the past will I disappear if the corn is not properly dried and handled.! Ejevators are unable to dry corn 3hd maintain its natural quality I as rapidly as it is harvested.

September make it impossible $o keep high moisture corn for ] Jbng periods of time. Corn can heat and sour when kept over- j flight on a truck during hot ISumid weather.

I Don’t mix dried and natural corn for average moisture eon-| tent. Previously dried corn will be dried again. This will cause! excessive broken kernels and] foreign material. Buyers wilL complain. ] Remember, once corn is dam-1 aged nothing can be done .to ] restore its quality. Already, the corn from the Virginia-Carolina i area is stigmatized. If we don’t do something about it. the stig ma will prow. Markets will be come fewer. There will be no' advantage for early harvested corn. Our later harvested corn will be hurt, too. lerryllltoK By LOUISE B. ADAMS Mrs. J. D.
