Ben Chambers Obtains
, Yield of 160.22 Bush
els To Acre
iBen Chambers, 26-year-old farmer
of the Durante Neck section of Per
quimans County, has been declared
county corn champion for 1951, hav
ing produced 160.22 bushels of Dixie
17 hybrid on one acre. A friendly
Ruritan Club com contest con
ducted in one community ended up
with this high yield, and a record
yield so far as Perquimans County is
concerned. It also surpasses all state
records reported in previous years.
This corn was grown on heavy silt
loam soil on which Irish potatoes and
cabbage were grown in 1949, followed
by soybeans in 1950. Lime at the
rate of two tons per acre, was ap
plied in 1949, along with normal fer
tilizer for the vegetable crops. The
soybeans in 1950 were not fertilized.
Before . the corn was planted in 1951
Chambers applied 5-10-10 fertilizer at
the rate of 1,200 pounds per acre.
The corn was planted in 42 inch rows
spaced 12 inches in the row. Amon
ium nitrate was used as side dressing
at the rate of 400 pounds per acre
when the corn was 18 inches high.
The total cost of seed fertilizer and
labor amounted to $67.40. With the
corn valued at the prevailing local
price of $1.60 per bushel, the net pro
fit on this acre of corn is $170.60.
fered farm bys in vocational agncul-
ture. He entered the armed services
in April of 1945 and was with the
army in Europe when he received no
tice that he had 'been awarded the
American fanner degree and free trip
to the National Future Farmer Con
vention in Kansas City. After 17
months in the army he returned home
to farm with his father. In the sum
mer of 1947 Ben purchased a farm
known as the Horton farm in Per
quimans County. The average yield
of corn on the farm in 1947 was 18
to 20 bushels. This year, 1951, Ben
had approximately 80 acres in corn
which averaged around 100 bushels
per acre. He had an equal acreage.
of soybeans and live acres f cabbage
for market. He has some 100 head of
hogs which are allowed to glean the
corn and soybean fields.
In 1947 this was considered to be a
rnn-dnwn fnrm in a poor stnte of cul
tivation. By the intelligent use of
cover crops, rotation, drainage, im
proved pasture, lime and fertilizer,
Ben is making this a good, productive
and -paying farm.
