Be Biggest Yet For State
Highest com yields will win
North Carolina fanners savings
bonds with a maturity value of
$400 In the State’s 1950 com
contest. Hie highest official yield
in recent years was 14(1 bushels
per acre, according to Dr. S. R.
Collins, extension agronomist at
State College.
Collins says that yields of 125
to 140 bushels usually win the
district contests, and sometimes
even the State competition. He
explains that only harvested and
weighed yields will be accepted
for entry In the contest, and
that shocked or harvested corn
cannot be entered.
Farmers desiring to enter the
contest should be careful to see
that their acre of com is har
vested by a committee repre
senting agricultural agencies and
businessmen, with a chairman
from outside the county.
The acre must be measured by a
county surveyor, a licensed sur
veyor, or a person recommended
by the county PMA chairman.
Yields above 148 bushels can
be disqualified by the State com
mittee unless a member of the
committee Is present at the har
vest. Certification of any yield
may be disqualified for non
compliance In regard to any reg
ulation.
Farmers making an estimated
yield may determine the mois
ture content of their com by
sending bne pint of shelled com
In a sealed container to Clyde
Corriher, Ricks Hall, State Col
lege, Raleigh.
