Duplin (County corn,produ- eel's are In the enviable position of not having sufficient corn prb- duced annually to take care of ' the: local consumption. ' Farmers throughout the Coun J ty are being encourped to plant as much corn1 as they can this year and at the same time make. (an effort to construct grain sto rage" facilities on the farm. . According to Assistant County Agent Ralph Sasser, Duplin Co . unty needs ; approximately one "and one -: half million 'bushels more corn now than is beintf pro duced locally. The average yield last year was 50 bushels per acre on 73,000 acres This ' meant a yield of 3,650,000 bushels qf cod. If all of the corn had. been kept in the County, Sasser said,; "We would -still, have needed the 'ad ditional corn." ? On the State level, the story is J the ; same. From. October 1957 I through September 1958, 78,334, r. 000 bushels of corn were used, ; " btxt only 57,428,000 bushels were produced. . s , State-wide, the picture impro I ." ved some from October 1958 th- rough .September, 1959. It is es I timated the State will consume f 82,000,000 bushels of corn this year. -Producation last year was ,75,836,000 bUshels. v If corn producers in North Carolina had sufficient on-the-farm storage facilities, the State's income would be increased tre mendously. o Census figures show that 42 per. cent of the State's produc tion was sold at harvest time. Twenty per cent of this - 42 v per cent was marketed out-of-state. N. C.

Sasser points out that assist-, ance is available throughout the State for farmers who desire to construct on the farm, grain sto rage facilities. The ASC office will lean up to 80 percent of the unerrected cost of the corn bins. Loans are paid back in fotj; annual installments with interest at the rate of four per cent per annum. Loans are also available for the purchase of mobile drying equipment These loans are up to 75 per cent of the cost of this equipment Loans are repaid in three annual payment with in terest at four per cent per an num. Increased yields. per acre are alsos vital. ' Sasser stresses the fact that with the use 'of pro per fertilization (farmers usu ally do not Use enough fertili zer) and good hybrid seed corn verities, much higher yields per acre can be achieved.

There has- been, considerable Interest in - swine production in Duplin forr the past several years," Sasser said, ' "but we feel that it can mean even more to the County's economy with, a well, planned program." , Duplin is 'second in swine pro duction In North Carolina, foil owing Johnson County. ( '. of fertilizer based on soil sam ple tests should be used. Then, too, proper spacing and enough plants to assure high yields are essential. For yields of from 40 to 75 bushels per acre, spacing is 17 inches apart in three and One-half foot rows. But, if over 75 bushels of corn are desired per acre, the plants should be from 12 to 14 inches apart in three and one-half foot rows. Yields of under 50 bus hels per acre are not considered economical. If wire-worms and bill-bugs have been problems in the past on a particular farm, the soil should be treated for insects. This should be done anyhow one every three years in order to keep down insect infestation. So, through increased yields of corn per acre and adequate on the farm storage, the farm in come of North Carolina can be increased this year by millions of dollars. tional Guard units of North Caro Una participated in this contest.
