P. Moore, director of the Crop Improvement Association at State College. Drought in other southern states, particularly Georgia and South Carolina, is producing a drain on North Carolina’s supply. Such pop ular hybrids as Dixie 18 and N. C. 27 are moving south in large quantities. The supply of Dixie 18 which is adapted to the Southeastern part of the State is already extremely short. The supply of N. C. 27 is dwindling rapidly. Dixie 17, which is adapted to the Piedmont, is practically sold out at some sources. Dixie 82, one of the most prom ising new hybrids which is adapt ed to the same area as N. C. 27, is still adequate. To combat any ru mors that Dixie 82 will not grade yellow because of its red tinge. Moore sent samples to the State Department of Agriculture and corn buyers in Chicago. Both grad ed the sample “yellow” without question. U. S. 282, popular in the moun tains, is still adequate for the de mand. New white hybrids N. C. Now in Germany Pvt. Jasper H.
