N. C. 4fc Hybrid Corn
Available For 1957
North Carolina corn producers
will be able to plaint approxima
tely 50,000 acres of N. C. 46 yel
low hybrid corn next year, states
John Rice, director of the North
Carolina Crop Improvement As
sociation.
This new, mid-season, yellow
hybrid was available only in li
mited quantities during the 1956
growing season. Rice reports that
this hybrid is adapted to most of
the areas of the state.
In 1955, says Rice, there were
only two growers who produced
N. C. 46 on 35 acres. This year,
however, 14 producers grew this
hybrid on 301 acres.
Rice states that this hybrid has
excellent stalk strength, showirig
only 9 per cent lodging in the N.
C. 1954 Official Variety Test for
short season corn. The average
lodging percentage of the other
earns was 15 per cent. According
to Rice, N. C. 46 was the best of
17 commercial and station hy
brids in the pier cent of erect
plants in the 1955 Georgia of
ficial Variety Tests.
N. C. 46 matures 4 to 5 days
earlier than U. S. 282 ,and the
ear height is less than U. S.
282. It has good weevil resistence
and a low percentage of exposed
ear tips. The grain' quality is
excellent, and yield has been
equal to U. S. 282, adds Rice.
For full season demand, says
Rice, the regular N. C. hybrids
are being produced again this
year. The hybrid which has been
most popular within the state,
N. C. 27, is being grown on 2,500
acres. Dixie 82 is being grown on
2,000 aerfej- Dixie 18 on 1,800 ac
res; and N. C. 42 on 1,100 acres.
Rice points out that each of the
above four hybrids is a full sea
son corn with high yield and good
grain quality.
Tobacco specialist report that
extended dry weather in some
Piedmont and mountain counties
has reduced prospective yields
for both the flue cured and bur
ley crop.

QUESTION: When and how
should roses be planted?
ANSWER: Except in the high
est elevations of the mountains,
fall is the best time for planting
roses. However, early spring
planting is generally satisfactory.
In either case, dig the hole large
enough so the roots can be spread
out as they would naturally
grow. Remove all broken roots.
Cut the plant back to five or six
inches at time of planting. Mound
soil over the stem of the plant
and leave it in this position until
new shoots start growing in the
spring. Then remove the mound
of soil. Set plants about 2% feet
apart.
QUESTION: Does peanut hay
make good feed?
ANSWER: If peanut hay is pro
perly handled, it is good feed.
Good quality peanut hay that will
compare favorably with other
good legume hays can be produc
ed if the following factors are
followed in its production. (1)
Increase yield and quality by
controling the insects and lteaf
spot disease. (2) Shake dirt from
vines before stacking. (3) .Stack
vines carefully so that air will
circulate under the stack and
rain will shed off. (4) Thresh
nuts as soon as thtey are dry, and
bail hay as it comes from the
thresher. Save all the leaves pos
sible.
QUESTION: Is it too late to
plant vegetables in the home gar
den?
ANSWER: There are some
vegetables which may still be
planted in the Piedmont area.
These include, kohl-rabi, leaf let
tuce, mustard .radish, and turnip.
The .best planting dates end on
September 15 with the exception
of mustard which may be planted
up until September 30. Coastal
Plain and Tidewater areas may
delay planting 2 to 3 weeks.
