Is Sponsoring
Corn Contest
The corn production contest is
being sponsored by the County

of fifty dollars will be awarded to
the farmer in Cherokee county
who produces the greatest yield of j
corn on any measured acre.
To be eligible for this prize the ,
contestant must turn in his name'
to the secretary of the fair asso
ciation at least two weeks before
the fair or before the corn is har
vested. Also, the contestant must
t nter an exhibit in the ten and
fifty-five ear classes in the fair.
To produce high corn yields the
Experiment Station recommenda
tions will prove helpful. The prize,
acre should be started by planting
early 'about May 1) with the best
seed available. The yellow hybrid
U. s. 282 and the white hybrid,
Tennessee 10. will give the great
est yield if locally grown seed are I
used. If locally grown hybrid seed i
are not available, plant Holcombes j
Prolific white corn or Jarvis Gold- j
en Prolific yellow corn. Seed |
should be spaced 16 inches in |
lour-foot rows or 18 inches in 3'l' j
foot rows. I
At least 500 pounds of a 6-8-6 or ?
a 5-10-5 fertilizer should be used. |
and will give best results if put in j
the row. A side dress of at least j
200 pounds of nitrate of soda or j
100 pounds of ammonium nitrate j
should be used if available. If j
tlu-.se nitrates are not available, it <
v ill usually pay to side dress with j
a fertilizer with a high nitrogen ,
content.
Corn <hould be cultivated often!
