T. W. WOod & Sons of Richmond. Virginia, and Wilming ton, are conducting several dem onstrations in this vicinity to show the advantage and need of an I acreage of extra early hybrid corn for early feed and hogging j off. These early hybrids were giv ' en to local seedsmen to be placed ' with farmers in this vicinity. Sev j eral varieties of early hybrids ■■ were used, and G. V. Flowers, t chief plant breeder for T. W. Wood & Sons, stated that several are outstanding, but Wood's V 26Y is the best. This will be checked against the results of their replicated test fields near Loris, S. C., and test data from other years and areas. When planted early this corn is ready for hogging off b ythe time tobacco is ready to be harvested. Various ways of interplanting soy j beans and corn were tried. One : row of com and one row of soy beans proved very satisfactory. The beans offered shade for the corn and shade is an important factor sir."*; much r ►re moisture ' is lost due to evaporation than is ! actually used to produce the corn. I Two rows of com to one row of ; beans gives more com per acre ! and the beans will help shade one I side of each corn row in addition ; to furnishing some green feed for hogs. On Mr. Fronis Strickland's farm com and beans were planted in the same row in one part of the field and the beans were omitted in the adjoining part of the field. No appreciable difference in yield of com was noticed. However, it should be remembered that when com and soybeans are planted in separate rows, money can be saved by following the recommendations for fertilizing each crop. 1 > Mr. Fronis Strickland, Lawr ence Coleman, E. W. Fonvielle, Harvey Coleman, E. L, .. Wright, and J. E. Bullock, all of the Tabot W. S. ALLER WILL BE TRAHSFEBRED Highway Patrolman W. S. Allen who has been on duty in Taboi City for nearly five years, will be transferred on August 1. Allen, who came to Tabor Citj directly from Highway Patro] School in Chapel Hill, will be the new supervisor of a weight sta tion with the theft bureau al Apex. Temporarily, however, he will be in Lumberton until the weight station is completed. His replacement arrived this week from the Chapel Hill patrol school. J. R- Barker, of Gastonia will take over this area. He was sworn in July 25* Barker is married and the fath er of two children. City, Ν. C., area, and several oth ers assisted in carrying out these demonstrations. From the reports turned in this early yellow hybrid grows off· well and has the abil ity to stay green when other corns are tiring" from hot dry weather. It produces big ears of good quali ty com now used in this area, rhe bottom blades were still green when the husks were dry ing. These early maturing corns are developed for early use and are not to be cribbed as corn to cany over unless the farmer is equipped to chemically control weevil infestation. E. L. Wright, Tabor City, N. C. (Columbus County). "The Wood's early hogging down corn I planted withstood the drought better than other corn on the farm, some not even rolling up during the drought. The foliage was stili green from top to bottom after the shuck had dried. It produced ex tra big ears, placed low on a large short stalk. The kernels are of good quality and length. It is the best corn for early hogging that I have ever seen." "I planted V-25 and V-26Y side by side. They grew off good and ι sta>ed * erben du?u^. a severe drought. The leaves stayed green ι until the ears matured. They pro duce big, long, well developed ears. The stalks are low and the ears are placed low. It withstood the dry weather and extreme high I temperature better than other corns in this section. The two corns are very similar but I prefer the V-26Y because it has a little better root system. They both are far superior to any other corn for early hogging or early feed. It is at least a month earlier than Dixie 18." Fronis Strickland, Route No 2, Tabor City, N. C. ( Columbus County) "I planted 10 early varieties of hybrid corn including V-26Y. In normal years when planted early it should be ready for hogging by July 1st. It is a low growing corn with big ears placed löw. It held its color during a severe drought when other corn was firing, It is a month earlier than Dixie 18 and can be planted twice as thick as a full season corn. The yield and quality was very good. It is by far the best corn for early hogging and early feed I have ever seen. This general thought can be used for advertising." Lawrence Coleman, Tabor City, N. C. (Co lumbus County) "I find your corn very satisfact ory. It is very early and very re sistant to hot and dry weather Produces a well developed ear and very large. I have shown this corn to several of my neighbors and we all agree that it is far sup erior to any corn that we have N. C. tried in this locality for early feed and hogging off and hope we can obtain plenty of seed for next year." J. E. Bullock, Taboi City, N. C.
