Dr. Edgar Morrison Invents Hydraulic Drill Down at Virginia Beach a $250,- 000 ocean walkway and sei wall is being construe ted. and Dr. Edgar Mor rison, a resident of Virginia Beach and Tarboro, who is well known here, has aided greatly in its speedy con struction. Dr Morrison invented a hydraulic water jet with a finger shaped nozzle, making a fan-tike spray, which cuts a hole 18 inches deep in 15 seconds. Since his invention has been employed it is possible to dig about 10 holes for piling per day, while they were able to dig holes for but two piles before it was used. The greate-t difficulty was experi enced and thi best of engineers were working on this project—one of whom j was Edgar K.

FIELD SELECTED CORN INCREASES AVERAGE YIELD Improves and Develops Variety In Addition To Other Advantages • Plant all the grains of corn on an ear in one long row, and one of the resulting stalks will produce twice as much corn as the stalk from another grain. This is one reason why seed corn must be selected in the field if the variety is to be improved and .developed. "Good seed is one of the chief fac tors in corn production," says (J. M. (iarren, cereal agronomist at State College. "High-yielding strain* and varieties can only be developed by per sistent field selection of seed in the fall. This is better than crib selec tion in winter or next spring, because the plant as a whole must be consid ered when getting at the basis of high production. Mr. Garren. sjaJ« a test at the Moun tain Branch Station, near Swannanoa, in 1926. He planted 23 rows, each 109 feet long, using the seed from an in dividual ear on each row. The high producing row contained 48 stalks and produced 47 pounds of ears. The low est yielding row contained 44 stalks and produced only 22 pounds of ear to the row. Certainly, he states, corn from the first row would outyield that from the other, and these desirable traits in corn growing can only be dis covered by studying the plants in the field. The .grower must keep in mind the Money to Lend On Town or Farm Property. From sto 30 Years E. S. PEEL, ATTORNEY WILLIAMSTON, N. C. Friday, October iiJISZv . type of corn that he wishes to grow. The dairy farmer wants a different corn from that desired by the market gardener or the crop farmer. The average crop farmer wants a vigor -stis, broad-leafed stalk of medium height, with two good ears growing about half-way up the stalk. The ears ought to )>e sound and symmetrical and bear about 16 rows of smooth capped grains of medium depth. A good high-yielding corn of this kind may be developed by field selection. Such corns as Southern Beauty, In dian Chief, Cocke's Prolific, and oth ers in North Carolina were developed by this method. • Select Seed in Field • A -day spent in the corn field this fall selecting seed for next year's crop wilt return greater profits than any other operation connected with corn production.
