Cofil Challenge Throu^ 'Governor W. Kerr Scott, himself a farmer, the old North State last weak accepted a challenge from Virginia to see which State could make the great est progress in corn production during 1949. ' The contest, as proposed by Governor William M: Tuck of the Old Dominion, will be based on the percentage increa^} of 1949 average state corn yields over the 1937-46 average. Answering Governor Tuck im mediately, Governor Scott said Tuck “can rightfully be proud of the outstanding progress made by Virginia farmers in increasing their average corn yields.” But, he asserted, “a review of North Car olina production figures justifies acceptance fo this challenge.” Scott pointed out that the 1937- 46 Tar Heel average of 21.8 bu shels per acre was increased to 31.25 bushels - a jump of nearly 50 per' cent - during 1947 and 1948. And these yields, he added, were attained “in spite of re stricted supplies of nitrogen top dressing material and adapted hybrid seed.” » “Further progress in corn pro duction can be anticipated for several reasons,”’ Governor Scott said. He listed two of these as wider use of hybrid varieties and adoption of an improved corn production program” by an in creasing number of farmers.” In 1947, Scott said, only 16 per cent of the Nortti Carolina corn acreage was planted to hybrid seed. This figure increased to a- bout 2S percent in 1948, and it is expected to increase to 40 or 45 per cent in 1949. Asking for the cooperation of all agricultural and business groups in the program. Governor Scott asserted that higher corn yields will lead to a better bal anced farming system and a higher standard of living for all the people in the State. A committee will be set up to handle the North Carolina pro gram. iHli LIQUID OR TABLETS DIVES FAST RELIEF Kwnen COLD MISERIES STRIKE N.
