will generally give some increase in
yields, but the increase has not been
as marked or. as consistent as the
increase that results from row
treatment.
Another method of applying fer
tihzer, that of>side dressing the corr
crop with 100 pounds of ammonium
nitrate late In July, was also tested
The response was somewhat varied
On heavier, more fertile soils, in
creases in yield were slight. On
sandy soils, deficient in nitrogen
increases of as much as 80 bushels
per acre were obtained.

which may seriously affect the ap-
pearance Of the entire. tree. This
trouble occurs most frequently on
Eastern white pine, but may also
cause trouble in Norway spruce and
other conifers. The primary symp-
tom consists, Of death of part of the
needle, beginning at the tip and ex-
tending toward the base. The trou-
BILE may progress no further, but
so many needles may be affected in
white pines that the whole tree will
be brownish in appearance, and
eventually die.
Needle blight is not due ito any
known parasitic disease. The cause
Is attributed mainly to an improper
water supply but is also often COM
plicated by such factors as unfavor-
able soil, adverse weather condi-
tions and losses of fine feeding
rootlets.
AS long as some new growth is
made each year there is hope of
saving the tree. One of the most
important measures in controlling
needle blight is to maintain the
natural mulch which occurs from

Corn Is Reported
Top Virginia Crop
BY me Asseeiafsd Press

RICHMOND. Va, Jan. H.-An
estimated production Of 42,940, ,000
bushels valued at $98,762, 900 made
corn the leading Virginia crop dur
ing 1g47 in total value, the Federal
State Cooperative Crop Reporting
Service announced here.
The other four leading crops and
their values were listed as:
Tobacco, $62, ,s73, 600: hay, 333, ,793,-
600; peanuts, $22,118,00o, and wheat

The service reported the five top
crops In acreage In 1947 were: Hay
1851 900 acres; corn, 100000;
wheat, 487 900; peanuts, 162, 600, and
tobacco, 143,000.
The total acreage of principal
crops harvested during the year was
estimated at 3.6s1 900 acres. slightly
above 1916, but 4 per cent under the
1936-1945 average.
Corn yield per acre set q new
State record, the service said, and
the crop was the largest since 1920
although the acreage harvested has
been lower only once before In the
past 80 years.
