THURSDAY, MARCH 29th, 1945 THE NEWS-JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. PAGE THREE Lower Bushel Cost With Higher Yield Experiment station tests show that it costs more per 'bushel to produce a 20 bushel crop of corn than it does to produce a 40-bushel crops, says County Agent B. E. Grant of Baltic county, who has begun a campaign to double the yield of corn per acre in that section in the next few years. Many other counties throughout Sorth Carolina are conducting special corn contests this season because growers realize that higher yields of corn per acre give one of the best methods of supporting the state's rapidly expanding livestock industry. "When we consider the fact that the better fanners make from 40 to 60 bushels per acre, we see that there is plenty of room for improve ment in the crop that covers about one-thirvl of the cultivated acreage of the state," G-ant says. "We need a greater use of soil building crops and fertilizer, coupled with improved practices in growing the crop." Here are some suggestions which the Extension agent has made to his cooperating growers. Improve the soil with leguminous crops. Do not plant corn on poorly drained soil because soybeans and lespedeza will make more feed on such land. Use from 300 to 500 pounds of com Ipete fertilizer In the drill. Top dress with the equivalent of 200 pounds of nitrate of soda, or more, and 100 pon.!s of muriate of potash. Use an adapted hybrid or a good local variety. Cultivate shallow to control weed growth and lay by when the corn is two an di:'.e-half feet high, if possible. Do nut use turn plow as a cultivator or cultivate deep enough to destroy corn roots. Put plenty of plants per acre and space in accor dance with fertility of soil, plant feed used, and expected yield. Where permanent pastures are limef and fertilized, there is a small gvrnvih of crab grass, broom sedge, and weeds, an-i decidedly more grass, lespev'eza, and r lover. Tier? are i)3 Negro Extension workers in 43 counties in North Carolina, says R. E. Jones, Negro l State agent. From where I sit ... 6r Joe Marsh Bert Loses the War Single-Handed Bert Chllder's house burned down last week, and the only good thing that came out of it was it cured him of swearing. Bert Just couldn't think of words to fit the occasion, so he Just gave up. Bert admits it was his own fault. Started with a Held Ore which he thought he had under control, and when he turned his hack a minute for a breathing upril, the fire sprung up twice as fierce. Ky the time the firenen nrrivid, there wasn't much that thry riciNI do. From where I sit, there's a moral in Bert's experience. A lot of us feel we've got the fires of this war under control ... that we can relax a little, maybe let up on buying bonds, donating blood, or fighting inflation. Just like Bert lost his fight against the file, we ran lose tills fight against our enemy if we let down now. I! cause war, II! e fire, is never over till the last sparU is extinguished. "7 Gen.

ANSWER: One of the largest gains reported by county agents last year for treating peanuts with arasan came from Northa mpton County, where J. J. Matthews of Gatesville increased his yield from 14 bags to 17 2-3 bags per acre. The extra 330 pounds of business I peanuts were worth $27.70 while the cost per acre for the treatment was only 10 cents. The large gain was principally, due to the improve ment in the stand of the peanuts. 1. Loans and discounts $ 139,481.80 2. United States Government obligations, direct and guaranteed 1.501,300.00 3.

ANSWER: Almost all pastures that have not been limed in recent years need lime, says W. W. Woodhouse, Jr., associate in agronomy with the Agricultural Experixent Station. He also explains that lime will increase yields of the pasture materially and at the same time bring the desirable plants into production. The lime also improves the nutritive value of the herbage. Moderate amounts of lime are best. Woodhouse points out that lime alone is not sufficient for -best pasture yields and that the grasses and clovers will benefit from a top dressing of phosphate. 24.

I read that a certain big com. pany paid a dividend of two mil lion dollar last year. A lot of doogh! But wait! The company hap pens to be a lot of company. About 10,000 people have planked 50 millions of savings into it Two million in dividends means that these people got 4 cents "rent" for each dollar they risked last year. And against the two millions in dividends, the company paid 39 millions in wages about 20 times the dividends. And they paid 9 millions in U. S. taxes about five imes the dividends. Seems to me another word for dividends is "leavin's." POULTRY WANTED Our Truck Will Be Near Depat k Raeford, K. C, SATURDAY MARCH 31st. 1 (il 5 P. M. Paying Following Cash Prices ROOSTERS 17c lb.
