of Route 3, Williamston, is doing
his part to help North Carolina
win the cern contest with Virginia
this year, reports R. M. Edwards,
Martin County Negro farm agent
for the State College , Extension
Service.
Williams tried the recommended
five-step program last year for
the first time, planting N. C, 27
hybrid seed and following approv
ed practices of .cultivation, seed
ing', and fertilization. Despite dif
ficulty in obtaining enough nitrogen
he made more corn than any of
his' neighbors.
Several other farmers in the
neigoborhcod visited his field and
were amazed to find at least one
full ear on every stalk. In fact,

and Chicago reported a good de-j

week and slightly stronger prices, j
Fryers and broilers opened one
cent per pound higher at Central
North Carolina points and sold
steady at the advance during the
remainder of the week. Supplies at
the closewere fully adequate with
producers offering fairly freely.
Fryers and broilers advanced 1 to
2 pents per pound at North Geor
gia points'and around 1 cent in
the Shanandoah Valley 5 area. The
Delmarva section, on the other
hand, reported drops of around 1
says Williams, the only complaint
came from his boys, who said it
took too long for. them to gather
the corn. Although the yield was
not officially checked, he estimat
ed it to be 70 ! bushels per acre,
about 22 bushels greater than the
yield of his old corn.
This year Williams ordered his
fertilizer early, and he hopes to
produce at least 100 bushels pet-
acre. Three qf his neighbors have
set a similar goal for themselves.
