RECOMMENDED METH
OD INCREASE CORN
YIELD
Reports from Bertie cou
nty farmers indicate that it
is profitable to follow re
commended methods in corn
'production, according to B.
E. Grant, county agent for
the State College Extension
Service.
| A number of Bertie gro
iwers have conducted de
monstrations during the
1 past three years. By follow
l ing approved practices,
|which require almost
i extra cost, they have in
creased their corn yield to
I an estimated 35 bushels perj
. acre, the best record the
i county has ever made, Mr. !
Grant said.
In each of the demonstra
tions held, the corn produc
ed on the demonstration
acre was more profitable
than in the usual farm pra
ctice, the county agent de
clared. The only additional
work required was that of
applying • more fertilizer.
Fhe additional cost was for
hybrid seed, fertilizer, and
soda.
Mr. Grant said the best
hybrids have given from 20
to 25 per cent more corn
than local varieties. Ten
Bertie farms have already
qualified for membership in
the State 100-Bushel Club,
and a considerable number
of growers have indicated
their interest in trying to
make 150 bushels on one
acre by following approved
practices.
The main points in the
recommended practices are
(It Select good corn land.
(2i Prepare a good seed
bed. .3) Use the best hybrid
seed. (4 ) Plant so-as to have
from 8,000 to 10,000 stalks
per acre. This has usually
been 12 to 16 inches in the
drill with 3 1 /o foot rows. (5)
Use sufficient plant food
Bertie growers used 600
pounds of 4_B, 8 or 4, 10, 6
at planting with side dress
ing of 600 pounds nitrate of
soda or caLnitro and 100
pounds muriate of potash.
161 Cultivate shallow to
avoid ’damaging feed roots.
<7) Do not pull suckers. (8)
Lay by when 2*4 feet high.
This has usually required
two or three cultivations.

BETTER BUILDINGS
MEAN MORE INCOME
Greater income could Ire y
realized on many North R
Carolina farms if more ad- U
equate buildings were pro- P
vided, according to T. K. ;L
Jones, Extension farm P
management analyst at U
State College.
“Development of the live- U
stock enterprise is often P
handicapped and delayed ■
because of lack of adequate P
buildings to house and care ■
for increased number,” Mr. |i
Jones said. “Much hay is p
wasted and improperly car- P
ed for because of insuffi- ■
( cient storage space. A tre- y
mendous amount of labor pj
[could be saved if barns were I s
| arranged to handle hay P
efficiently.” ju
The Extension worker |H
pointed out that although j U
building costs are high, P
farmers who have their U
own timber can get the
needed buildings errected
