The- 1950 "corn - war" between Nortli Carolina and Virginia began in earnest this week aa Extension Ser vice officials of the two states an nounced that they had agreed on the " basis for the competition. ' .- v The winning state will be the , onei whose average yield (hows the larger . l 1 1 AJ M W A. ior me lu-yoar penou j,w-. juasi year, when Virginia won, the contest was based on the bushels-per-acre in crease over the average for 1937-46. North Carolina's mu-49 average was 25.6 bushels per acre; Virginia's was 32.8 bushels. If the Old North State makes the same average yield it did last year 35 bushels per acre the increase will be about 27 per cent. Ii Virginia repeats its 1949 record with another average yield of 47i bushels, the increase for that. State will be about 30 per cent On this'in re8'ard basis Virginia -would win asrain. Iiiarit. The terms may seem unfair to North Carolina, but Dr. E. R. Collins, in charge of agronomy for the State College Extension .'Service, . thinks otherwise. He points out that Old Dominion farmers have had several good seasons for corn, and they're overdue for a bad year. - In addition, says Dr. Collins, Virginia growers have adopted corn hybrids much' more pidly than have Tar Heel farmers,! - and North Carolina can expect larger increases in the future as more and more hybrids are grown. All In all, Dr. Collins thinks the terms for the contest are the fairest that could be worked out Average corn yjeldsfor the two states from 1940 througlTl949 have been: North Carolina: 19.5, 22, 20.5, JB.8, 25, 27, 31.5, 31 and 35 bushels per acre; Virginia) 27, 26, 27, 25, 26, 33, oo, oe, w ana 4 f ou&neis per acr.
