There were 13 days of rain, making for a total of 12.6 inches of precipitation. Compared to other years it was a very wet month. In June of 1975. 3.8 inches of rain Jell, in 1974 3.6 inches, and in 1973 6.7 inches. Soybeans Down Bumper Corn Crop Forecast With plentiful rain in recent weeks farmers here are expected to harvest a bumper crop of corn, possibly the biggest yield in ten years, according to the extension agent's office. Nationally, the outlook is for 72.4 million acres of corn this fall, up eight per cent from last year, and the most since 1949. More corn acreage was planted this year, with farmers switching from soybeans to corn, farm agent Wendell Young said. He estimated soybean production was down from about 23,000 acres last year to 17,000 - 18.000 this year. The U.S. Department of Agri culture (USDA) has reported 48.2 million acres of soybeans now indicated for harvest, compared with 48.3 million projected earlier on the basis of spring planting intentions. Based on the earlier information. USDA officials have been projecting a 1976 soybean harvest of about 1.35 billion bushels, compared with 1.52 billion in 1975. Heavy rains in the past three weeks have brought concern to some tobacco farmers as some low lying areas received up to four to ?4S HIGH /IS SOME EYES - Corn may not be as high as an elephant's eye. but it is thriving in county fields now and agriculture officials are predicting a reivrd harvest. five inches of rain at a time and some drowning of roots has been reported. Young also said some disease has been found by about a half a dozen tobacco farmers and samples have been sent to Raleigh to be checked. Mosaic, which is brought from the plant bed, is suspected, although the disease has not yet been identified. No significant problems have been reported in cotton. Blos soming is expected this week or next, a little late due to cold weather this spring. Farm Items B> Agricultural Extension Agents Growers should be sure to examine every chemical that they spray on a crop. Many acres have been damaged by putting the wrong chemical on the wrong crop. It is very costly to put everything in the production of the crop and have it destroyed because someone failed to read a label on a can of chemicals. When chemicals are unloaded into the storage house they should be separated and each type placed together. This would prevent some mixup in the use of chemicals. You must remember that they will do an excellent job if they are applied on the right crop at the right rates. We also have observed some growers spraying the crop twice and this will sometimes give you burns or damage. Soybean produceers should be on the lookout for damage by the Mexican bean beetle and the Bean Leaf beetle. Some buildup of the larvae of these insects is occuring in some fields. You should keep a close check. It is not recommended that you spray early as this will kill some of the beneficial insects that help to contol worms later. Identi fication of insects feeding in the field is most important. Green clover worms and soybean loopers do very little damage in the soybean crop. The Corn Ear worm and Green Stinkbugs can do con siderable damage to the pods. Worms do most damage to Ran som. Bragg and Hampton soy beans. They can do much damage to late planted beans before the canopy is closed. A booklet is available that can help you identify your insects and help you decide when it is necessary to spray. Slime mold has been appearing this past week in lawns around Raeford. It produces white, gray or yellow slimy masses on the surface of grasses. These masses dry to form bluish gray, black or white powdery growths on the grass blades in patches. It occurs after extended wet periods. It is usually very conspicious but does very little damage to the grass. DRUGGIST - Waller P. Baker's photograph was inadvertently omitted from the history of the Hoke Drug Co. published in last week s News-Journal Bicentennial edition. Baker was an owner of the pharmacy from 1924 until the 1960's. The Veterans Administration is responsible for the operation of 103 national cemeteries in the United States.
