The outstanding yield, according to. Dr. E. R. Collins, irt charge of agronomy for the State College Extension Service, was made with a spectacular variety oi wheat re cently bred by the N. C. Agricul tural Experiment Station and first planted last fall for increased seed. The varety, yet unnamed, is called N. C. 5466 and is a sister strain of N. C. 5450 which was seen by many fanners this summer in small gr^in demonstrations throughout the Piedmont area of the State * The Watson brothers planted bushels of the wheat, made available to them through the ex periment station. The wheat was planted on October 25 on slightly less than 10 acres of land which was in tobacco last year. This is a seeding rate of 1.4 pecks per acre as compared with the normal recommended seeding rate of 5 pecks per acre. By carefully fol lowing the recommendations of the Extension Service from the time the land was being prepared until the crop was harvested, a yield of 363 bushels, including 352 bushels oi clean seed and 11 bushels of: cleaned crack wheat, was realized.) Ip other words, Dr. Collins points ' out, this is a production seeding ratio of 100 to 1. | Preparation of the land prior to ( seeding the crop included discing i it one time" shortly after the to bacco stalks Were cut. Jittt:.before the seeding date, the land was' disced again agd harrowed. Dr.' Collins says the early seeding date together with 600 pounds of 6-6-12 fertilizer was most important in bringing about such a good yield. This, he said, resulted in a good fall growth and stooling to the point that an average of 9-15 seed heads were found per seed plant. Also important frbm the yield standpoint, he declared, was the application of 300 pounds of nitro gen in the early spring. The 352 bushels of clean wheat realized from the Watson crop this year will be placed on farms next fall to be selected by the North Carolina Crop Improvement Asso ciation. This will be done to help increase the amount of seed avail able for farmers planting in the future. Farmers‘selected to plant the seed next fall will be required to plant it on weed-free land, Dr. 'Collins said. . v For any farmer to be able to byy any of the N. C. 5466 seed pro duced from the next fall crop, he will have to enter the 1948-49 wheat and oats contest, for which I application blanks are now avail able. Each township winner for j oats and wheat will have the first | opportunity to buy 6 bushels of | the seed. i Both varieties, N. C. 5466 and N. C. 5450, are adapted to the Coastal Plain and Piedmont areas only, and are the most resistant to mildew and rust Ways To Store Corn Suggested By Specialist i Feed hogs out to full weight; include more corn in broiler mashes; finish beef animals earlier this- - fall; and convert ^tobacco . barns, empty tenant houses, potato and peach-grading sheds and' un used tobacco warehouses as emer 1 gehcy storage facilities. I These were a few of the sugges tions offered this week by State Col lege Extension Service specialists for handling the biggest corn crop | in the history of North Carolina. I The suggestions were made at a ’ meeting called by Dayid S. Weaver, ! assistant director of the Extension , Service. Mr. Weaver outlined the j problem by citing the latest crop! 1 forecasts. “North Carolina is ex pected to have a 74-million bushel | corn crop,” he said. “Last year we .had an above-average crop of 65 I million bushels, since the ten-year average is only 51 million. Count ing a six-million bushel carryover, we wll have 80 million bushels to store or sell.” J In response to Mr. Weaver’s re quest tor suggestons, Jack Kelley, extension swine specialist, said that obviously it’s time to start feeding pigs out to full Weight again. “North Carolina farmers have often marketed their hogs at weights under 180 pounds,” he said. “Feed shortage? in past years lhave encouraged this trend. With a nor mal feed-livestock price reiatibn ship, farmers will now get their greatest return by marketing hogs at or near 240 pounds.” John W. Weaver, agricultural engineer for the experiment sta tion, suggests that farmers convert any empty building they have intc a temporary storage bin. “The mair thing is to get a roof over it and a floor under it,” he said. The specialists agreed that th< biggest opportunity for conservinj the crop lies in the hands of th« small farmer who usually* sells hi' com in the faU and then has t( buy expensive feed during the win ter. If small producers can rig u] some satisfactory storage facilities they reed not worry about the lov price of com this fall nor the hig] price of feed next- winter -O-__ enters seminary Carrboro.—^The Rev.
